Curtain Wall Stick System

When it comes to the curtain wall stick system, TECHNAL is the trusted choice for commercial towers across the Middle East. Our solutions are also widely specified for major institutional and residential developments throughout the region.

The curtain wall stick system remains one of the most popular façade solutions in modern architecture. It combines flexibility, precision, and cost-efficiency, ideal for Middle East projects. 

With decades of façade engineering experience, TECHNAL offers innovative stick systems. They balance architectural creativity with proven performance, sustainability, and ease of fabrication.

What is a Curtain Wall Stick System?

A curtain wall stick system is a non-structural façade made up of vertical mullions, horizontal transoms, and infill panels or glazing that create a continuous external envelope.

Unlike unitized systems, which are factory-built in modules, stick-built façades are assembled piece by piece on site. This allows for:

• precise alignment, 

• easier transportation, 

• and flexibility during construction.

Facade consultants often choose stick systems for:

•  mid-rise buildings, 

• irregular geometries, 

• or projects requiring on-site adaptability and custom detailing.

Stick-Built vs. Unitized Curtain Wall Systems

There are benefits for both systems, depending on conditions. Choosing the right system depends on your project’s specific constraints.

TECHNAL recommends stick-built curtain wall systems where on-site adaptability or non-standard geometry is required.

• Performance: Both deliver high structural integrity and weather resistance.

• Speed: Unitized systems install faster; stick-built takes longer but allows phased construction.

• Tolerance: Stick-built offers on-site adjustment; unitized relies on factory precision.

• Flexibility: Stick-built suits irregular shapes and complex façades.

• Cost: Stick-built is generally more economical for mid-rise or bespoke projects. Unitized systems have a higher upfront cost. They are, however, more efficient for scale.

Technical Performance and Design Versatility

TECHNAL systems are engineered to thrive in the Middle East's climate, offering:

• Thermal efficiency: Low U-values and high airtightness.

• Structural strength: Proven resistance to high wind loads.

• Design freedom: Slim sight lines with support for varied infill thicknesses.

• Aesthetics: Available in premium finishes including black, white, grey, and brown.

Sustainable by Design

TECHNAL curtain wall stick systems prioritise the environments without compromising on quality. 

• Recycled & recyclable content: Made from up to 75% recycled aluminium. At the end of our product extended lifespan, they are up to 95% recyclable. 

• Certifications: Supports LEED and Estidama goals.

• Durability: Low-VOC, corrosion-resistant coatings designed for high UV and sand exposure.

Designed for circularity, each system reduces embodied carbon and maximises energy efficiency throughout its lifecycle.

Maintenance, Durability, and Lifecycle Value

Designed specifically for Middle Eastern climates, TECHNAL curtain wall stick systems resist:

• sand, 

• UV exposure,

• corrosion, 

• and thermal expansion. 

Regular inspection of seals, gaskets, and fixings helps maintain airtight performance.

The system allows easy glass replacement and refurbishment, extending the façade lifespan and reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Installation and Fabrication Efficiency

TECHNAL curtain wall stick systems are engineered for efficient fabrication with:

•  lightweight frames, 

• modular assembly, 

• and generous tolerances for quick on-site adjustment.

Installers benefit from integration with BIM workflows and access to TECHNAL’s digital resources, including Techtip and MyTECHNAL for detailed installation guidance and technical support.

Cost Considerations

The cost of a curtain wall stick system depends on numerous factors such as:

•  glass type, 

• façade geometry, 

• finish, 

• and installation time. 

While pricing varies by project scope, stick-built façades are typically more cost-effective for mid-rise or complex architectural designs.

TECHNAL provides transparent guidance and technical support throughout the design and budgeting process to ensure optimal value and performance.
