SEMI-UNITIZED FACADES

Description

Semi-Unitized facade system (also known as Semi-Unitized curtain wall system or Hybrid curtain wall system) is a type of facade that combines the advantages and features of Stick and Unitized facade systems. The basic structural principle is that except for the main frame, other façade components are assembled into unitized panels, and then transported to the site for positioning and mounting on the main frame.

Compared with other glass facade systems, the Semi-unitized façade system has many outstanding advantages in terms of mass production, accuracy, installation quality, repair & maintenance, etc.

Advantages of Semi facade system:
– Panels are mass-produced at the factory, so components are assembled accurately and quality is easily controlled.
– Quick installation, simple operation, short construction period, and high construction efficiency.
- With 3 layers sealed inside the facade, high waterproofing purpose. The drainage system is perfectly designed. Water resistant, reliable & stable sealing.
– The traditional method of sealing the structure between unitized panels & joint glue is replaced by sealant strips, which not only ensure a tight seal but also reduce the level of contamination on the surface of the building. facade, bringing aesthetics, improving decorative efficiency.
– Unitized panels are small, flexible, convenient, easy to install, maintain and replace.
– Flexible choice: glass, metal, stone & other decorative materials, …
– Diversity of ways to assemble Semi facades: hide puzzles, reveal puzzles, combine puzzles and hide puzzles.
– Ensure safety, certainty, especially for high-rise buildings.

*Defect:
– The construction time of semi-unitized glass curtain wall system is longer and requires more installation labor than other facade systems.
– High cost for construction and erection, so only large and complex projects use this system.
