Curtain Wall Unitiz System
A curtain wall is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural and are designed to keep the weather out and the occupants in. They are called ‘curtain walls’ because, like a curtain, they are ‘hung’ from the structure of the building, but do not carry any structural load from the building apart from their own weight.
Unitized curtain wall systems are comprised of large units that are assembled and glazed in the factory. They are then shipped to the construction site and erected on the building. The benefit of this approach is the reduction in field labor and field installation time. It allows building enclosure in a very short time, and these systems can be installed in any weather condition which helps keep projects on schedule.
Unitized systems allow for a higher level of quality control since the units are assembled in factory conditions. They also typically improve the thermal performance and the overall energy efficiency of the building due to the consistent control conditions in the factory.
For specific information about the Curtain Wall Unitized System products of a particular company, I would recommend contacting the company directly or visiting their website.
