UNITIZED FACADE
Innovation in building facades
UNITIZED FACADE
The construction industry is constantly evolving, driven by technological innovation and the need to create more efficient and sustainable buildings. One technology that is gaining ground in the field of building facades is the unitized curtain wall system. This modular system, prefabricated in the workshop and installed on site, has revolutionized the way facades are designed and constructed.
unitized curtain wall technology
The unit facade system is the natural evolution of the traditional "mullion and transom" system and has rapidly become the most widely used façade technology worldwide. This innovative approach is based on modules that are entirely prefabricated in the workshop. These modules contain not only the aluminum structure, but also the opaque and glazed curtain walls, as well as all the necessary accessories for handling, lighting and security.
The distinctive features of this technology make it one of the best on the market:
1. Speed of installation
One of the main advantages of the unitized facade system is the speed of installation. Since the modules are prefabricated in the workshop, installation on site requires minimal intervention. This cuts construction time in half, greatly reducing costs and the risk of delays.
2. Product warranty.
Thanks to the industrial production cycle, every component, from accessories to complete modules, meets the highest quality standards. This quality assurance is essential to ensure that the building façade is durable and long lasting.
3. Ease of transportation
Finished elements are stored in crates and transported from the factory to the construction site. This efficient method of transportation reduces logistics costs and simplifies the delivery process, ensuring that the blocks arrive at the construction site in perfect condition.
4. Ease of installation
Because the cells are prefabricated, the only operation required at the construction site is to attach the anchors to the floors. The blocks are then transported to the desired floor and secured, greatly simplifying the installation process.
5. High level of customization
Cells can be customized to fit any type of module. Because of this flexibility, the Façade Bloc system can be used for a wide variety of building projects.
Unitized Facades offer a wide scope for reinterpretation, both aesthetically and technologically.
Bloc facade modules can be installed in two ways: by lifting the modules off the ground floor with a construction crane, or by using a system of feeding the elements with mini-cranes positioned a few stories higher. This innovative approach greatly increases the efficiency of the installation process.
In conclusion, the unitized facade system is a cutting-edge solution to the challenges of modern construction. Its combination of speed, quality, transportability, and adaptability makes it a highly sought-after choice for architects, designers, and builders seeking high-quality buildings constructed more efficiently.
