Choose non-combustible cores, thermal continuity, matching finish to vision glass, and accessible replacement detailing for Gulf and Central Asian projects.
High-rise projects in the Middle East require curtain walls with low U-values, high solar control and condensation mitigation tailored to desert and continental climates.
Typical warranties cover materials and workmanship for 5–10 years; extended façade system warranties and performance bonds mitigate owner risk in Gulf/Central Asia projects.
Tolerances demand CNC precision, +/-1–2 mm alignment for panels, controlled sealant application, and ISO 9001 factory QA for Gulf and Central Asian projects.
Unitized modular systems enable parallel factory fabrication and site works, reducing onsite labor and shortening schedules—ideal for Gulf rapid-build programs.
Owners must plan BMU systems, maintenance access, cleaning frequency, and facade durability to budget operations in Dubai, Doha, and Almaty environments.
Energy codes and certifications like LEED, ESTIDAMA, and local Gulf standards drive low U-values, SHGC control, and high-recycled-content metal framing.
Curtain wall design influences compartmentation, smoke spread, and pressurization systems; coordinate glazing types and perimeter seals with fire engineering strategies.
Unitized systems typically lower long-term maintenance and site labor costs versus stick-built façades, relevant to projects in Dubai, Riyadh, and Almaty.
Mitigation uses continuous thermal breaks, warm-edge spacers, insulated spandrels, and dew-point analysis customized for Gulf and Central Asia climates.
