Product Description
Unit type curtain wall, refers to a variety of wall right and support frame in the factory made a complete basic unit of the curtain wall structure, directly installed on the main structure of the building curtain wall. Unit type curtain wall can be mainly divided into: unit type curtain wall and semi-unit type curtain wall are also called firm unit type curtain wall, semi-unit type curtain wall can be divided into detailed points: vertical split unit type curtain wall, window wall unit type curtain wall.

Compared with traditional stick-built curtain wall systems, unit type glass curtain wall delivers overwhelming advantages in construction efficiency and engineering stability, making it the preferred exterior solution for modern high-rise buildings and large public infrastructure. All components of the unit, including glass panels, support frames and sealing materials, are processed and assembled in standardized factory workshops, which eliminates most on-site wet work and minimizes errors caused by irregular manual on-site processing. This high prefabrication rate also allows on-site installation to proceed at a much faster pace—generally cutting the overall construction period of the building facade by 30% to 50% compared to traditional stick-built systems, and on-site progress is barely affected by harsh weather such as low temperature or continuous rain.
Thanks to precision factory manufacturing, unit type glass curtain wall also achieves far better air tightness, water tightness and thermal insulation performance, which meets the strict energy conservation requirements of mainstream green building certification systems around the world. It is also more friendly for later maintenance: damaged single units can be replaced directly without dismantling large areas of the facade, greatly reducing long-term maintenance costs and high-altitude work safety risks for high-rise buildings. Driven by the global popularization of prefabricated construction, the application of unit type glass curtain wall is continuously expanding to more scenarios including commercial complexes, airport terminals and intelligent office buildings.
