Both systems can be installed properly. These are some of the advantages of unitized wall systems: • The assemblage is done in a controlled shop environment. • Erection is completed more quickly. • Horizontal wrapping of floors provides more a systematic building envelope closure. • There is less handling of components in the field. The most critical function that the curtain wall is expected to perform is air and water infiltration control. , wedge or wiper), air membrane and perimeter sealant at the framing or sill pan conditions depending on the system.
Bundled framing in crates will require tarps or other appropriate methods to keep dust off the stored units or avoid damage to the metal finish or glazed components. If the frames are stacked vertically or horizontally, they need to be separated with insulating material to protect the metal finish. The significance of proper protection is to ensure that the product, when installed, will be free from unnecessary damage or displacement resulting from high traffic in jobsites where multiple trades are performing their respective tasks.
It can be a great learning tool, especially in the scenario where multiple systems types and materials interface within the building envelope. Because all subcontractors are responsible for their scope or material type, the challenge always occurs at interfaces and in the necessary coordination among different trades. Along with testing, field inspection of curtain wall installation is critical. Typical questions related to field inspection include the level of review required for a project, who will provide this review, how often will the review occur, and who has responsibility on the back end.
