Specialty Glazing

ABB specializes in the assessment, design, and construction phase services for curtain wall systems, storefront systems, window walls, and their glazing sub-systems. We have extensive assessment and design experience in aluminum storefront and curtain wall assemblies for both low and high-rise structures. Our expertise includes consideration of seismic issues, inelastic drift, slope of glazing, energy performance, thermal loading, and live loads for both stick assembly and unitized systems.

We offer a range of expertise in storefront and curtain wall assessment and design services. These services include:

  • Structural Assessment
  • Mock-Up Review and Assessment
  • On-Site Testing per ASTM and AAMA Protocol

As with other building enclosure assemblies, we place an emphasis on the understanding and proper detailing of components (sealants, flashings, exterior claddings, waterproofing, and cladding systems) to be integrated into the storefront and curtain wall assemblies.
