Unitized Curtainwall Systems
Unitized Curtainwall Systems
Unitized curtainwall systems are engineered to be fully assembled and glazed in the factory environment which provides dramatic improvements in quality and performance. This feature, in addition to the increase in speed of field erection has made these systems the “State of the Art” in curtainwall facades.
NEC has built our business around the design, manufacture, and installation of monumental and standard unitized systems. Our HVU series curtainwall system is a well-tested and proven system with a long list of projects across the country.
Benefits of Unitized Curtainwall:
Factory assembled, providing enhanced quality control
High performance systems (thermal, air, water, dynamics)
Adaptability to modern design concepts
Accelerated, year round field erection
Accommodation of multiple spandrel systems (glass, metal panels, stone, terra cotta, etc.)
Performance Criteria:
The HVU Series was developed to meet the design requirements of modern commercial structures including performance characteristics such as:
Exceptional air & water infiltration performance
Advanced thermal performance demanded by northern climates
Dynamic design characteristics accommodating building movements
Demanding quality control standards allowed by factory construction
Design Options:
Versatile system design that allows for many variations in configuration & adaptability such as:
System depths varying from 5-1/2” to 9”
Captured or structural silicone glazed in any combination
Rainscreen spandrel options including but not limited to terra cotta, natural stone, metal panel
Dual wall & motorized shade systems
Integrated sunshade systems (vertical & horizontal)
Window washing retention systems
Zero sightline vent windows with BMS motorization & management
