Semi-Unitized Facade System
Semi-Unitized Facade System
A semi-unitized curtain wall glazing system is a form of structural glazing where the main structural framing elements are installed separately, similar to an erector set. In this system, the vertical mullions are first fastened to the floor slabs, followed by the horizontal components, which are connected to the vertical mullions to create a grid-like structure.
