Unitized Curtain Wall

Unitized Curtain Wall

What is Unitized
Curtain Wall?

A type of building curtain wall in which panels and supporting frames are prefabricated in the factory as complete curtain wall units and directly installed onto the main structure.

It serves two main classifications:

  • unitized curtain wall system:Fully prefabricated units, installed as a whole.
  • semi-curtain wall system:Partially prefabricated, with on-site assembly.

What are the Characteristics of Unitized Curtain Wall?

Industrialized Production

Glass, aluminum panels, and other materials are integrated in the factory, enhancing the level of building industrialization.

Quality Control

Factory assembly allows for thorough quality inspection, ensuring high engineering standards.

Efficient Installation

The unit height matches the floor height, with a width of 1.2 to 1.5 meters. Units are directly connected to embedded components, ensuring quick and easy installation.

Short Construction Period

Installed from bottom to top, allowing simultaneous construction with civil works, thus reducing project timelines.

Labor Cost Savings

Installation is completed within floors, minimizing labor costs.

High Technical Requirements

Advanced design capabilities and equipment are necessary, making it accessible only to experienced curtain wall companies.

Exceptional Weather Resistance

Unitized curtain walls offer superior wind and water resistance with airtight seals, built-in drainage, and ventilation systems. They adapt to temperature changes and feature UV and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for high-rise and coastal buildings.

Notes: Due to complex profiles and large material consumption, costs are slightly higher than those of frame-supported curtain walls.
