From Curtain Wall to Facade: SunFrame’s Insights into Facade Engineering
From Curtain Wall to Facade: SunFrame’s Insights into Facade Engineering Introduction | Why We Focus on Facade, Not Just Curtain Wall The curtain wall has been an important technological system in modern architecture since the mid-19th century. With the continuous advancement of materials, construction techniques, and computational tools, curtain walls have evolved from simple enclosures […]
The Restraint Behind a Perforated Aluminum Façade
The Restraint Behind a Perforated Aluminum Façade One day, while passing by a school, I found myself paying attention to its exterior. Along the corridors on the second floor and above, both in teaching buildings or dormitories, the façades were wrapped in large areas of perforated aluminum panels. The perforations formed fluid, dynamic patterns, almost […]
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Construction
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Construction — Sunframe’s Systematic Solutions for Complex High-Altitude Conditions As supertall buildings reach unprecedented heights and embrace increasingly complex spatial forms, rooftop multi-level voids have become a notable characteristic of modern architectural design. These spaces not only fulfill requirements for ventilation, equipment layout, and architectural expression but also create formidable challenges for […]
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Design in Supertall Buildings
Rooftop Multi-Level Void Curtain Wall Design in Supertall Buildings — A Practical Design Perspective from Sunframe As supertall buildings continue to reach new heights and adopt increasingly complex spatial forms, rooftop multi-level voids have become essential elements of modern façade design. While these spaces add value to the building, they introduce design and construction challenges […]
Aluminum Panel Curtain Wall Construction | Technical Execution Guide
Aluminum Panel Curtain Wall Construction — Key Technical Points for Reliable On-Site Execution In real-world curtain wall projects, the facade functions as a secondary envelope. Although it is separated from the primary structure, it remains closely tied to its movement and performance. Aluminum panel curtain walls are widely used in this context because they offer […]
Photovoltaic Glass Applications in Building Systems Across Regions
Photovoltaic Glass Applications in Building Systems Across Regions —From Southeast Asia to the Middle East Photovoltaic technology is shifting from external power equipment to an integral part of the building envelope. Photovoltaic glass, particularly Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), sits at the intersection of energy performance, architectural integration, and sustainability objectives. Differences in policy direction, climate conditions, power […]

Shaping Al Mana’s Architectural Identity: From High-Rise to Headquarters Introduction From the soaring towers of Doha’s skyline to the intimate spaces of its corporate headquarters, Al Mana Group has consistently pursued excellence in architecture and brand identity. SunFrame, as their façade partner, infused light, order, and identity into two distinct projects, spanning from a city landmark […]
How SunFrame Develops Overseas Markets: Starting from Being on the Ground
How SunFrame Develops Overseas Markets: Starting from Being on the Ground “Understanding local realities before defining system solutions” In developing overseas markets, the real challenge is rarely a lack of opportunity. More often, it is the gap between what we think a market needs and how projects actually work on the ground. For window and […]
The Hidden System Behind Cross-Border Facade Delivery
The Hidden System Behind Cross-Border Facade Delivery When people admire the shape of a tower or the clarity of a glass facade, few notice the underlying system that makes it possible. For international facade projects, success goes far beyond engineering—it relies on a fully coordinated chain covering design, production, inspection, logistics, packaging, documentation, and on-site communication. At […]
What Developers Really Look for in Façade Partners？
What Developers Really Look for in Façade Partners — and Why It Matters Picking the right façade partner may look easy at first. However, anyone who’s handled a big project knows it isn’t. Many concerns go unspoken: Will the project finish on time? Will costs stay under control? Will installation run without issues? And will maintenance be easy in […]
