Glazing & Facade

Glazing and Facade Services focus on designing, fabricating, and installing exterior envelope systems that combine aesthetics, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. These services are essential for modern architectural projects, ranging from commercial buildings to residential high-rises. Below is a comprehensive overview of glazing and facade services:

1. Types of Glazing Services

1.1 Glass Types

• Single Glazing: Basic glass installation, often used for interior partitions.
• Double Glazing: Two layers of glass with an insulating air or gas layer in between for thermal efficiency.
• Triple Glazing: Three glass layers for superior insulation and soundproofing.
• Tempered Glass: Heat-treated for safety and strength.
• Laminated Glass: Multiple glass layers bonded with an interlayer for enhanced safety and soundproofing.
• Low-E Glass: Coated glass for improved thermal insulation and UV protection.
• Tinted or Frosted Glass: Privacy and light control.

1.2 Glazing Systems

• Curtain Wall Systems: Non-structural glass walls for high-rise buildings.
• Structural Glazing: Frameless systems where glass is directly bonded to the structure using silicone or adhesives.
• Spider Glazing: Uses point-fixings or brackets for frameless glass facades.
• Skylights and Canopies: Glass installations for natural light and aesthetic appeal.

2. Types of Facade Services

2.1 Facade Types

• Unitized Facades: Pre-fabricated panels installed on-site for fast assembly.
• Stick System Facades: Component-based systems assembled on-site.
• Double-Skin Facades: Two layers of facades with a ventilated cavity for thermal regulation.
• Ventilated Facades: Cladding systems with an air gap for insulation and moisture management.
• Glass Facades: Sleek and modern appearances using full glass panels.
• Metal Facades: Aluminum, stainless steel, or copper for durability and industrial aesthetics.
• Stone Facades: Natural or engineered stone for traditional and luxurious looks.

2.2 Advanced Facade Technologies
