Structural glazing is like a curtain wall which is made by joining glass together onto a structure creating a spotless and glowing exterior appearance. The interior depends on what the clients choose depending on their budgets and taste.
The structural glazing gives a greater transparency to the building and much energy cost saving as compared to old traditional structures enclosed with walls all around. Structural glazing is of many types depending on the structure, budgets and styles;

Stick build structural glazing; the old and traditional style usually used for lower rise buildings where the budget is less, therefore less expensive labour is needed and the project is not too expensive.
Unitized structural glazing system; is a glazing system which is pre-assembled. This is usually build in mid rise to high rise structures where there is tight job site access and greater installation labor cost.

Point supported glass system; this is the one mostly in use today, the most transparent structure available today. It is available with many options based on design aesthetics, structure and budget limitations. The supported glass system is installed in places like glass entrance, lobbies, cafes, malls etc.
