Unitized Curtain Walls
Unitized curtain walls refer to a type of building facade system where the curtain wall panels are pre-fabricated and assembled into individual units in a factory-controlled environment. These pre-assembled units, known as “panels,” are then transported to the construction site and installed on the building’s structure using a crane or other lifting equipment.
Why Use Stick Built Curtain Wall?
The primary structure of unitized curtain walls features aluminum or steel frames, specifically designed to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction. These frames are skillfully filled with energy-efficient glazing options, such as single, double, or triple-glazed glass units with low-emissivity coatings. The result is enhanced weatherproofing and insulation, minimizing energy consumption and promoting eco-friendly practices.
The weatherproofing techniques employed in unitized curtain walls are paramount to their success. Expertly crafted sealants and gaskets ensure a secure and weathertight connection between individual panels, preventing water infiltration and air leakage. This level of detail guarantees long-term performance and durability, even in the face of challenging environmental conditions. Safety and functionality go hand in hand with unitized curtain walls. These versatile systems can be designed to meet fire resistance requirements, adhering to local building codes and safety standards. They also offer excellent acoustic properties, ensuring a serene and peaceful environment in bustling urban areas.
