Window Wall Facade

A window wall facade is a non-structural exterior building system that consists primarily of large glass panels (windows) supported by a lightweight framing system, typically aluminum or steel. Unlike curtain walls, window walls are installed between the concrete slabs of a building's structure, relying on the floor slabs for support.

Key Features of Window Wall Facades:

• Core Stuff: Heavy-duty Aluminum Alloy (Main frames are a solid 2.0mm thick - built tough) paired with high-performance Glass.
• Glass Choices: Pick your thickness: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm. Options: Toughened (Single/Double), Laminated, or super-efficient Low-E glass.
• Aluminum Strength (Temper): We use T3 to T8 grades – meaning it's strong yet workable for your designs.
• Proven Quality (Certs): Backed by ISO9001, CQC, SAIGLOBAL, AS2047 – meets international benchmarks.
• Totally Custom: Need a specific length, shape, curve? Done. We can even add your logo or tailor packaging graphics.

Window Wall vs. Curtain Wall:

Applications:

• Office Towers (High-rise and mid-rise)
• Luxury Apartments & Condos
• Hotels & Resorts
• Mixed-Use Developments (Retail below, offices/residences above)
• University Buildings & Hospitals
• Shopping Centers

Advantages:

✔ Faster installation
✔ Lower material costs
✔ Lighter weight than some curtain walls
✔ Allows for floor-by-floor construction

Things to Keep in Mind：

• Engineering is Key: Needs proper structural calcs and seamless integration design with the building frame. Don't skip this!
• Water is Sneaky: The system design must have effective hidden drainage paths.
• Installation Crew Matters: Needs experienced crews who know this specific system inside out.
• Materials Move: Design must allow for expansion/contraction of the aluminum and glass with temperature swings.
• Details at Edges: How it connects to roofs, walls, and spandrel panels needs careful attention.
• Local Rules Apply: Always comply with the building codes specific to your project location.

How it Works:
Picture a grid made from vertical aluminum posts (mullions) and horizontal bars (transoms). Big glass panels sit securely within this grid using special pressure plates and seals. The whole assembly anchors directly to the building's concrete floor edges at each level. It's designed smartly – hidden channels inside the aluminum manage any moisture that gets past the seals, keeping things dry.

This system is your building's first line of defense and comfort creator:

• Keeps Weather Out: Stops rain and wind from sneaking in (great waterproofing & air tightness).
• Saves Energy: Seriously cuts down heat loss/gain (low U-value), slashing those HVAC bills.
• Quiets Things Down: Acts like a sound barrier against street noise.
• Stays Strong: Handles wind pressure and transfers loads safely to the building structure.
• Floods with Light: Maximizes natural daylight, creating awesome bright spaces.
• Looks Sharp: Delivers that clean, modern, seamless glass look architects love.

Why It Matters:
Getting the facade right is critical. The GYA100 isn't just pretty glass; it's the key barrier protecting the building, controlling energy use, defining comfort, and ensuring long-term performance and value. Choosing a robust, certified system like ours is a smart investment.
