Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries regarding our professional glazing services.
What is structural glazing?
Structural glazing is a facade system in which glass is structurally bonded or supported using engineered framing and fixing methods to create a clean, contemporary glazed building envelope.
What is the difference between structural glazing and curtain walling?
Structural glazing describes a glazing approach where glass is structurally bonded or supported with minimal visible framing, while curtain walling is a broader facade system consisting of framing, glass, panels and associated components. Some curtain wall systems can incorporate structural glazing techniques.
What is a unitized curtain wall?
A unitized curtain wall consists of prefabricated facade panels that are assembled in a controlled environment and installed onto the building structure. It is commonly considered for large or high-rise projects where installation speed and factory-controlled quality are important.
What is a semi-unitized curtain wall?
A semi-unitized curtain wall combines factory-prepared components with site installation and assembly. The appropriate system depends on the project's design, building height, logistics and installation requirements.
Is structural glazing suitable for high-rise buildings?
Yes. Structural glazing and curtain wall systems can be used for high-rise buildings when they are properly engineered for factors such as wind loads, building movement, glass specification, drainage and installation conditions.
What is Low-E glass?
Low-E, or low-emissivity, glass has a coating designed to reduce radiant heat transfer through the glazing. It can help improve thermal performance when appropriately specified for the building.
Can glazing systems reduce heat inside a building?
Yes. Properly selected glazing, such as solar-control or Low-E glass combined with suitable facade design, can help reduce solar heat gain and improve thermal comfort. Actual performance depends on factors including orientation, glass specification and window-to-wall ratio.
Does double glazing reduce outside noise?
Double glazing can improve acoustic performance, but the level of noise reduction depends on the glass thickness, cavity configuration, laminated layers, frame system and the frequency of the external noise.
Is a glass facade safe?
A properly engineered glass facade can be designed for structural and safety requirements using appropriate glass types, framing, fixing systems and project-specific load calculations.
What types of glass are used in facade systems?
Depending on the project, facade systems may use toughened, heat-strengthened, laminated, insulated, solar-control, Low-E and other specially specified glass configurations.
Does Alfa Facade provide curtain wall systems?
Yes. Alfa Facade provides unitized and semi-unitized curtain wall solutions as part of its glazing services for commercial, institutional, residential and other building projects.
Does Alfa Facade provide structural glazing in Pune?
Yes. Alfa Facade Systems is based in Pune and provides structural glazing and facade solutions for projects in Pune and across India.
Can Alfa Facade handle complete glazing projects?
Yes. Alfa Facade can coordinate glazing projects from consultation and technical design through fabrication, installation and project completion, depending on the project scope.
How much does structural glazing cost?
Structural glazing costs vary according to the facade area, glass specification, framing system, building height, structural requirements, access conditions, design complexity and installation requirements. A project-specific quotation is required for accurate pricing.
How can I get a quotation for a glazing project?
You can contact Alfa Facade with your architectural drawings, approximate facade area, project location and glazing requirements. The team can then assess the project and discuss the appropriate glazing solution.
What is the difference between stick and unitized curtain walls?
Stick systems are assembled piece-by-piece on-site, suitable for smaller projects. Unitized systems are pre-assembled in our factory and hung on the building, offering faster installation and higher quality control for large high-rises.
How do you ensure the safety of large glass facades?
We use toughened or laminated safety glass that is 4-5 times stronger than standard glass. In the rare event of breakage, it crumbles safely or stays bonded to the laminate, preventing injury.
Can your glazing systems reduce my electricity bill?
Yes. By using Double Glazed Units (DGU) and Low-E glass, our systems significantly reduce heat ingress, lowering the load on your air conditioning systems and reducing energy costs.
Do you provide maintenance for existing glass facades?
Yes, Alfa Façade Systems offers maintenance services including re-caulking, glass replacement, and seal inspection to ensure your existing glazing remains safe and leak-proof.
