Unitized Facade Systems

Unitized — factory-assembled panel module

In unitized facade systems the modules are prefabricated at the factory complete with glass, spandrel, gaskets and panel frame. On site they are hung onto the anchors and hanging brackets at the slab edge, enabling fast and controlled installation.

Modules completed in the factory are hung onto the hanging bracket at the slab edge; the interlocking stack joint accommodates both building movement and pressure-equalised drainage together.

Stick Facade Systems

Stick — site-staged mullion-transom

In stick facade systems the vertical mullions, horizontal transoms, glass/panel elements, pressure plate and cover caps are installed sequentially on site. Suitable for flexible geometries and varying project scales.

Vertical mullions and horizontal transoms are erected on site; the pressure plate mechanically clamps the glass, and the drained gasket bed channels water progressively to the outside.

Window Wall & Storefront Systems

Storefront / Window Wall — slab-isolated

Window wall and storefront systems offer an economical, fast and clean solution between floors or at entrance levels. They are used in office facades, shop windows, commercial entrances and low- / mid-rise buildings.

Frames work isolated between floor levels; the thermally broken profile and multi-stage gaskets provide fast, watertight closure at entrance and commercial levels.

Door, Window & Fenestration Systems

Fenestration — thermally insulated operable system

Door, window and fenestration systems work integrated with the facade systems for insulation, durability, user comfort and architectural detail integrity.

A polyamide thermal break separates the inner and outer profiles to cut the thermal bridge; the multi-gasket sash-to-frame transition provides air and watertightness together.

Architectural Metal & Cladding Systems

Rainscreen — ventilated cladding

Architectural metal and cladding systems are used for aesthetics, durability, detailing and brand architecture on facade surfaces. Fascia, parapet, soffit, column cladding, metal mesh and decorative panel solutions fall into this category.

Cassette panels are hung onto concealed fixings; the pressure-equalised ventilation cavity behind keeps rain on the outer surface and drains moisture away (rainscreen principle).

Glass Roof, Skylight & Atrium Systems

Sloped glazing — glass roof / atrium

Glass roof, skylight and atrium systems are structures requiring bespoke engineering with natural light, large spans, water drainage, sloped glass surfaces and load-bearing profile details.

Sloped support rafters transfer the load; stepped drainage channels and the ridge–gutter detail drain water from the slope in a controlled manner.

Sun-Shading, Louvers & Facade Accessories

Solar control — louver / brise-soleil

Sun-shading and louver systems are used to control heat gain, provide shading and give the facade architectural rhythm. They can work integrated with facade, window and sliding systems.

Horizontal blades or vertical fins are positioned according to the sun angle; they reduce heat gain and glare while adding ventilation and architectural rhythm to the facade.

02Bespoke project solutions

Non-standard geometry, project-specific engineering.

For double-curved surfaces, iconic forms and non-standard performance requirements, we develop solutions from concept to detail and from mock-up to installation under a single point of responsibility. Structural analysis, thermal analysis and manufacturability are resolved at the same table.
