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 the Pegasus Five-Star Hotel in Georgetown, Guyana, SunFrame engineered and installed 20,000 ㎡ of unitized curtain wall with a GL-50 concealed frame. Factory-prefabricated panels were meticulously calibrated to on-site tolerances, shipped in export-grade, impact-resistant crates, and installed in precise sequence for seamless alignment.
Through more than a decade of exporting facade systems worldwide, SunFrame has learned a simple truth:
A facade becomes a building facade not through one factory, but through a synchronized global supply chain.
Every country has its own installation methods, safety standards, and tolerances. Our design team’s role goes beyond technical drawings:
★ Re-segmenting units and mullions based on installation feasibility
★ Matching production dimensions to real on-site tolerances
★ Recommending installation sequences
★ Choosing glass sizes, panel divisions, and profiles based on real material availability
In other words:
The drawing is not the deliverable. It is the starting point of the entire supply chain.
Many delays in cross-border projects come from mismatched production timing. SunFrame manages production as a closely coordinated system:
▶ Manufacturing by floors and installation zones
▶ Unified Bill of Materials for glass, profiles, hardware, sealants
▶ Dedicated lines for curved, oversized, or complex components
▶ Three-stage QC: incoming materials, in-process inspection, and pre-shipment inspection
Every batch is produced with purpose— Not just manufactured, but produced in the order the site actually needs.
Common reasons for delays in international facade projects:
☛ Oversized glass damaged during trans-shipment
☛ Unitized modules distorted during handling
☛ Mixed hardware batches causing on-site shutdown
To address this, SunFrame established a full export-grade packaging system:
✔ QR-coded tracking for each unit
✔ Custom shock-resistant wood crates for glass
✔ Hardware packed according to installation sequence
✔ Project-level—not factory-level—packing lists
This ensures the site receives not only the products, but a ready-to-install workflow packed into each crate.
SunFrame maintains a three-layer communication structure with contractors, consultants, and owners:
♦ Daily Updates: Production, glass status, incoming materials
♦ Weekly Coordination: Joint meeting with design/engineering/production/logistics
♦ Milestone Reports: Risk registers and mitigation plans
This approach is why our overseas projects remain consistent—even across different countries.
Engineering alone does not define a facade system. Its real quality depends on:
① Understanding global site conditions
② A harmonized supply chain
③ Predictable production
④ Export-grade logistics and packaging
⑤ Transparent, continuous communication
The Pegasus Hotel project demonstrates how these elements combine to deliver a high-performance, aesthetically seamless curtain wall system on schedule, validating SunFrame’s approach in real-world international projects.
At SunFrame, our value is not only in manufacturing systems, but also in making every overseas client confident that the project will be delivered exactly as promised.
