Product description
The Semi-Unitized Curtain Wall System represents a balanced approach to modern facade engineering, offering the structural integrity of stick systems with the quality control benefits of unitized solutions. In this configuration, vertical mullions and horizontal transoms are pre-finished with durable powder coating and installed on brackets anchored directly to the building's structural columns and slabs. This method allows for greater adaptability to site-specific conditions and thermal movement, while maintaining high standards of finish and performance.
Glass panels are cut to size and structurally glazed to the aluminium sub-frame using high-performance structural sealant. The sub-frame and glass assemblies are then lifted and installed onto the main grid work. Approximately 50% of the fabrication and assembly work is completed at the site, providing contractors with significant flexibility in sequencing and logistics.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Hybrid Construction: Combines the precision of factory-made components with the on-site adaptability of stick systems.
- Durable Finish: Powder-coated aluminium profile ensures resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and weathering.
- Structural Glazing: Seamless glass installation using structural sealant for a clean, modern aesthetic and enhanced airtightness.
- Site Flexibility: On-site installation of sub-frames allows for adjustments during construction and easier handling of large glass panels.
- Thermal Performance: Designed to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring long-term structural stability.
This system is ideal for commercial towers, corporate offices, and high-rise residential buildings where a balance of speed, quality, and architectural elegance is required.
