Curtain Walling
|
The
stick wall system can be used on any type of structure or exterior
wall. The stick wall system tends to be more efficient in structure
than the unitised wall and is normally easier to design. The
level of skill an installer needs to erect this system proves
to be much less than of the unitised. The stick wall system
is a more economical solution and tends to be the lowest of
any curtain wall system.
In the system, the wall is installed piece by piece. The mullion
members are installed first, followed by the transoms, the panels,
and then the glazing or window units.
The wall is composed entirely of large framed units pre-assembled
at the factory. The vertical edges of the units join to form
mullion members, top and bottom members join to form horizontal
rails.
Stick systems allow on site adjustment, but the performance
of the systems is dependent upon the quality of the installation
in what are often uncontrolled conditions. |
