Stick Curtain Wall System involves its components to be assembled piece by piece on the building at the site. These are mainly installed in low rise building or small regions. This is because, to reach higher elevations exterior access is essential. For this additional requirements like scaffolding, cranes etc. will be required.
The above system gains the advantage of low shipping cost as onsite adjustments are possible. But the time and labor consumption is recorded to be high.
Unitized curtain wall systems involves assembling by means of interlocking units that are bought from the factory. The whole components are bought together as a single unit from the factory. Individual installation of each component are not necessary as in sticky curtain wall system. The size of the unitized curtain walls are dependent on the floor to floor height of the building. Hence it is essential to keep in mind the mode of transportation and installation while planning the depth of facade. This system is mainly used in high rise building. This does not require exterior supports like cranes or scaffolding. Only mini cranes or a temporary hoist can be held over floor to keep it help during installation.
This system gains advantage of faster construction and higher quality because of factory manufacturing. But it gains high shipping charge as mentioned due to requirement of larger protection during transportation.
