STICK GLAZING
Stick-type curtain wall glazing is an enduring method of structural glazing where the frame verticals (mullions) and glass panels are installed and connected piece by piece. This approach is commonly used in buildings with fewer floors, typically up to 3-4 stories. The stick glazing method carefully considers factors like air, wind, and heat to ensure structural stability.
The installation process involves attaching vertical mullions to the floor slabs, followed by the addition of horizontal mullions. Glass panels and optional spandrels, made of glass or aluminum, are then incorporated into the grid structure. In stick glazing, the vertical mullions bear a significant portion of the wind load, contributing to the visual effect.
