Stick-Built Aluminum Curtain Wall

Stick-Built Aluminum  Curtain Wall, also known as the component curtain wall system, is assembled on-site piece by piece using individual aluminum alloy mullions, transoms, and infill panels, offering a high degree of design flexibility and straightforward adaptation to complex or irregular building geometries. The system is well-suited to low- and mid-rise projects where on-site fabrication adjustments are practical and budget efficiency is a key consideration.

All aluminum profiles are precision-extruded with thermally broken sections as standard, incorporating polyamide strips that interrupt the metallic path between interior and exterior surfaces, effectively reducing thermal bridging and meeting modern energy code requirements. The profiles are anodized or powder-coated in a wide range of finishes, resisting corrosion and maintaining a consistent appearance over decades of service.

The infill materials — glass, aluminum panels, or stone — are secured using pressure plates and cover caps with silicone weather seals, creating a watertight and airtight envelope. The modular mullion-and-transom grid allows designers to vary panel sizes and proportions across different facade zones without requiring entirely new tooling, enabling expressive and customized outcomes within a controlled cost framework.

Stick-Built Aluminum Alloy Curtain Wall has been the industry workhorse for decades precisely because of its proven track record in waterproofing performance, code compliance, and adaptability to architect-specified details, making it an enduring choice for commercial office buildings, educational campuses, and hospitality projects worldwide.
