Stick or unitised? – new CPD event
16th June 2015

Working with unitised façades when delivering a building envelope requires a very different approach compared to the conventional stick curtain walling. HUECK UK, the British branch of one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of aluminium windows, doors and façade systems, is tackling this subject in a new CPD seminar on July 29th at The Building Centre, London.

Hueck UK Project Development Director Leon Friend said: “It is the industry’s established view that stick systems are best used in low rise projects, and represent a more economical solution than unitised façades, whereas the latter are an ideal choice for specialist high rise constructions, and deliver a faster onsite installation, but can potentially double the meter square cost. While this is generally true, we’re aiming to offer a more in-depth perspective of the different types of applications each of these solutions can accommodate in the most cost effective way, while successfully meeting all requirements.”

The event will also include a presentation by Interpon, the world leader in powder coatings, and one by Sika, the global manufacturer of specialty products for construction, on structural sealant glazing and insulating glass in SSG applications, and Interpane, one of Europe’s leading glass processors.
