Curtain Wall Façade
Major curtain wall projects can be challenging. A project in one location can bring together main contractors, façade contractors and consultants from other regions who may not have experience of local compliance requirements.
Hilti not only has this experience to draw on, but we have developed an array of integrated and building code compliant curtain wall solutions based on the three pillars of hardware, software and services. With these, Hilti can support you at every stage of the process, from curtain wall design to positioning, installation, perimeter sealing and documentation.
Our curtain wall solutions bring you major benefits, including optimized design, correct installation, expert support across the world, certified solutions and significant cost and time reductions.
Curtain wall production
We are there to help you during the curtain wall production process, delivering a wide offer of products and solutions depending on your requirements.
Curtain wall elements such as mullions, transoms or unitized panels are prepared for installation in a controlled manufacturing environment. It requires high precision and tolerance to achieve fast assembly process on site. All components built in a factory will require engineered drawing and layouts for building code approval.
Hilti offers ideal solution for drilling, cutting, and panels assembly solutions.
Curtain wall installation

CURTAIN WALL FIXATION WITH DIRECT FASTENING
With the direct fastening technology, a powder-actuated fastening tool is used to drive a nail or threaded studs into concrete or steel.
Provides high fastening rate and easy to use solution for curtain wall fastening.Due to constant exposure to external environment stainless steel nails or threaded studs to be used.
Curtain wall fixation with anchors
Complex curtain wall designs often present planners with a major challenge - especially when time is at a premium. Planning and execution of the work thus sometimes run almost parallel.
Changes to plans at short notice can make it impossible to use anchor channels on all areas of the structure. For these situations, Hilti offers a range of stud anchors that provides versatile, well-proven solutions for fastening facades which also includes revolutionary new Hilti HUS3 undercut anchor.
Firestop for Curtain wall
Perimeter wall fire barriers pose unique design challenges to architects and engineers.
Like all construction joints, the curtain wall joint is a dynamic system that is constantly moving with minute shifts against the building structure. Specifying a curtain wall system that does not properly address movement, leakage and water ratings could lead to costly retrofitting down the road
Hilti has developed a line of products to meet these requirements along with tested and approved systems to address a wide range of exterior configurations.
