Unitized Curtain Wall Systems

Unitized curtain walls entail factory fabrication and assembly of panels and may include factory glazing. These completed units are hung on the building structure to form the building enclosure.

The economic benefits are typically realized on large projects or in areas of high field labor rates. (thank you wikipedia printable version)
