Our process

How we deliver in Stansted & Bishop's Stortford

01

Design consultation

We work with your architect or structural engineer to specify mullion/transom sizing, glazing build-up, opening vents and finishes.

02

Structural calculations

Wind load, dead load and thermal calculations carried out by certified engineers — all documentation supplied for building control.

03

Off-site fabrication

For larger projects we fabricate unitised panels at our facility for crane installation — significantly faster on-site and less weather-dependent.

FAQs

Common questions

Stick-built is assembled on-site mullion-by-mullion (slower but flexible). Unitised is pre-fabricated as full storey-height panels and craned into place (faster, weather-independent, but higher unit cost). We supply both — unitised typically used above 4 storeys.
No — curtain walls hang off the building's structural frame. They support their own dead load plus wind load, but no floor loads. The structural frame is sized accordingly by the project engineer.
Thermally-broken curtain walls with double-glazed Low-E units achieve U-values around 1.4-1.6 W/m²K. Triple glazed systems achieve 0.9-1.2 W/m²K — meeting all current Part L requirements.
