Describe the intended assembly.
Curtain-wall and window-wall terminology can be used differently across project documents. Ask your design team to identify the proposed assembly, its support and how it meets the floor edges, roof and adjacent walls.
Do not make the decision from the appearance of a glass elevation alone. Clarify the structural support, movement allowance, drainage, perimeter transitions and installation sequence.
Compare documented performance.
Request information for the proposed system, glass and configuration, with the same units and test basis for comparisons. A frame thermal value is not the complete façade value.
Air, water and structural requirements need to be reviewed for the building and exposure. Fire-related details and other project requirements belong in the coordinated design, not in a generic product comparison.
Plan procurement and installation together.
Share elevations, floor levels, opening dimensions and interface details with the supplier. Agree responsibility for anchoring, perimeter work, lifting and access before the package is finalized.
