Product Overview
Unitized glass curtain walls are characterized by factory prefabrication and site lifting installation. Unlike stick-system curtain walls assembled piece by piece on site, the unitized system assembles the glass panel, framing, and sealing structure into complete unit panels in the factory. The panels are then lifted and hung directly on site.
These systems are used in high-rise building glass curtain walls, commercial complex facades, office building curtain wall systems, large public buildings, and curtain wall projects with tight schedules.
Core Advantages
Factory prefabrication for assembly precision:
Unit panels are assembled in the factory, including sealing strip installation, panel fixing, and connection fitting pre-installation. In high-rise building glass curtain walls, factory assembly conditions provide more consistent sealing and assembly quality than site assembly.
Site lifting for shortened installation period:
Panels are lifted and hung directly after delivery to site. In commercial complex facades and projects with tight schedules, this reduces the on-site installation period compared with stick-system assembly.
Interlocking seal between panels:
The system uses an interlocking sealing structure between adjacent unit panels. In high-rise building envelopes, the interlocking seal maintains water tightness and air tightness at panel joints after lifting.
Unit panel sealing structure inspected before shipment:
Sealing strip installation and panel fixing are completed and inspected in the factory. In large public buildings, this allows the sealing quality of each unit to be verified before the panel leaves the factory.
Applications
• High-rise building glass curtain walls
• Commercial complex facades
• Office building curtain wall systems

OEM/ODM
Unitized glass curtain walls support custom unit panel division solutions according to the building drawing. Panel dimensions, lifting method, and connection nodes need to be confirmed. Deepening design is supported according to project requirements.
■ Customizable Items
• Unit panel division and dimensions
• Framing profile wall thickness
• Glass configuration
• Surface treatment and colour
• Opening sash unit type
• Connection node design
• Lifting method
Quality Control
Framing profile dimensions and glass configuration are checked on incoming material. Sealing strip installation and panel fixing are inspected during factory assembly.
Before shipment, each unit panel is checked for interlocking seal fit and connection fitting position. A 100% inspection is performed before shipment. Third-party inspection is supported.
FAQ
Q: How are the unit panel dimensions of unitized glass curtain walls determined?
A: Panel dimensions are determined by considering glass raw sheet specifications, transport limits, lifting equipment capacity, and building facade division design. The optimal division solution is confirmed with the project party during the deepening design stage.
Q: How do you choose between unitized and stick-system curtain walls?
A: Unitized systems suit high-rise buildings and projects with tight schedules, where factory prefabrication provides more controllable quality and faster site installation. Stick systems suit projects with complex shapes or irregular divisions, where on-site adjustment flexibility is higher. A selection recommendation is provided according to project characteristics.
