Current Situation
Mid-rise and high-rise commercial buildings commonly use light-gauge exterior steel framing attached to the slab edge in a “curtain wall” type of installation, to provide a support system for the outside skin of a building. These light-gauge framing assemblies provide versatile, cost-effective, lightweight, and noncombustible support systems for a variety of cladding materials including brick, stone, stucco, and terra cotta tile . Further, while light-gauge steel framing is commonly stick-framed, it is also ideally-suited for prefabricated panel construction which can provide additional economy during construction.
The Problem
Traditional building / wall movement and seismic issues have exasperated mid to high rise wall design with regards to air and water control, insulation factors, and maintenance of control joints. Solutions have been a mix of non-complementary compromised and complex detailing for system integration.
The Solution
Unistak™ AOne Wall System™ addresses all of the traditional wall design weaknesses
and compromises with a simple design and exceptionally efficient
installation methodology.
The patented interlocking track system allows factory fabrication of unitized wall
sections incorporating frame, insulation, exterior, glass fenestration, and non-vision areas. The panels are unitized in design to accommodate design building movement while maintaining water and air infiltration characterizes.
Unistak™ AOne Wall System™ is a unique wall solution in that the traditional wall components are designed, manufactured and assembled with engineered synergetic characteristics. The elements support and complement each other's function.
Unistak™ AOne Wall System™ is the only high R-value wall system designed for mid- to high-rise applications currently available to simultaneously address design building movement, control air and water infiltration. Pre-fabricated panelization facilitates exceptional building enclosure schedules.
The Unistak™ AOne Wall System™ is ideally suited for projects destined for LEED and Green Globe certification.
