Types
Stick (classical)
Unitized (silicone)

Facade systems that control air and water infiltration with fewer mullions than window-wall construction, improving thermal performance and reducing UV penetration.

System characteristics

  • Stick system: components assembled piece by piece on the structure. Suited to low-rise buildings and smaller areas; allows on-site adjustment.
  • Unitized system: panels pre-assembled in the factory and installed as complete units. Suited to high-rise; no external cranes or scaffolding required.
  • Fire-resistant doors and windows EI30 / EI60 / EI90 and bullet-resistant systems BR1–BR7 to EN 1063 are available for projects that require them.
