Unitized curtain wall is composed of large units that are pre-assembled and glazed in factory before shipping to building site for installation. With unitized curtain wall forming the core component of the external envelope of the building, thermal efficiency, sound transmission and fire safety becomes the key performance criteria of the system.
Unitised curtain wall can be installed either from the interior of the building using a beam on the floor above, or from the outside using a crane. The installation team must be safely connected to the structure via a harness.
Benefits of unitized curtain wall system:
Factory assembled, providing enhanced quality control
High performance systems (thermal, air, water, dynamics)
Adaptability to modern design concepts
Accelerated, year round field erection
Accommodation of multiple spandrel systems (glass, metal panels, stone, terra cotta, etc.)
