Double Glazed Unitized Glass Facade 2.5mm Curtain Wall System Aluminum Frame

Australia Standard Aluminum Frame Double Glazed Unitized Glass Facade Curtain Wall System

Quick Detail:

1. Exceptional air & water infiltration performance
2. Advanced thermal performance
3. Dynamic design characteristics accommodating building movements

The combination of taller buildings, faster construction schedules and rising labour costs have lead to the development of cladding systems which are substantially built off-site and which are designed to the accelerate installation productivity on site.

The unitized system curtain walling is logical response to these demands and brings the benefits of mass-production into play.

Unitization also makes use of advanced labour practices in fabrication and supervision resulting in output of high quality, close tolerances and fast efficient delivery.

For buildings higher than 20 floors, unitized curtain wall panels can be attached by operatives working at the edge of the slab in conjunction with a skilled crane operator.

All seals and gaskets are pre-installed and the connection of one panel to its neighbour provides pressure-equalised selfdraining properties according to the rainscreen principle to ensure no infiltration of air or water to the interior of a building, and that smoke / fire-stop materials are correctly and accurately positioned.

The system can accommodate openable windows and spandrel panels with insulated back-pans.

All our pre-glazed façade curtain wall systems are fabricated, assembled and glazed within the controlled environment of our manufacturing facility. This will bring greater quality control and the ability to pre-construct our frame modules before the building’s structure is erected; it also helps accelerate the close-in of the building, since our installation team can work on sections of the building as they become available; while minimizing delays due to weather conditions.

Double Glazed aluminum unitized curtain wall/unitized curtain wall system

The mullions and transoms are factory fabricated into single modules, typically 1500mm wide per storey high. The glazed element/spandrel panels can be fixed to the aluminium frame either by structural silicone, factory bonded or by external visible aluminium glazing retention beads. The units are fixed the building floor slab via fixing brackets which in turn are fixing to cast in channels. The unitised system guarantees excellent quality and is installed from the floor slab inside the building with no external access. External features, brise soleil, external fins, etc. will be installed when the unit is on the floor slab prior to installing the unit onto the façade.
Main advantages:
Reduction of human resources and/or time for installation of the units on site, generally from slab without the need for scaffoldings
Assembling in a controlled area, not affected by weather conditions, that ensures a higher quality of the final product.

Nowadays the unitized curtain wall system have become the preferred method for enclosing buildings, as more building owners, architects and contractors conclude the benefits of this type of construction. Unitized systems allow buildings to be enclosed quickly, which can help to speed up the construction process leading to earlier occupation. The fabrication process for unitized systems is more consistent than for stick-built curtain walls, as unitized glass wall systems are constructed in almost an assembly line fashion, indoors, and under controlled environmental conditions and use worldwidely.
