Unitized Glazing
Unitized glazing is a type of curtain wall system where large glass units are created and glazed within a factory and then installed on-site. The key features of unitized glazing are:
The glass panels and frames are pre-assembled off-site in a controlled factory environment, improving quality control.
Unitized systems can be installed much faster than stick-built systems, reducing on-site construction time by up to 70%.
The prefabricated units are hoisted onto anchors connected to the building structure.
Unitized systems are well-suited for large projects with high volumes of repetitive panels, taller structures, and where higher performance is needed for wind loads, air/moisture protection, seismic/blast performance.
The system provides flexibility for building designers, allowing any combination of profiles, infills, external feature caps and glazing
