Methodology.
How an ALUSET facade moves from architectural intent to an installed, sealed, documented envelope.
- E1
Survey & coordination
The existing or planned structure is surveyed and modelled. Slab edges, tolerances and anchor positions are confirmed before any facade grid is fixed.
- E2
System selection
The facade family is chosen against the architecture: expressed grid or frameless plane, opaque or vision, fixed or operable.
- E3
Detailing
Typical and atypical details are drawn — corners, parapets, soffits, slab edges, openings and transitions between systems.
- E4
Movement, water & air
Thermal expansion, structural deflection, drainage paths, pressure equalisation and gasket continuity are coordinated across the envelope.
- E5
Fabrication
Profiles are cut and machined to shop drawings; finishes and glazing units are specified and coordinated for production.
- E6
Installation & handover
Brackets, frames, glass and panels are installed in sequence with quality control, then documented at handover.
Typical mullion / glass interface

See inside the joint.
Take a representative capped curtain-wall junction apart in real time — glass, gaskets, thermal break, pressure plate, cap and fixings — and see what each part does.
Dimensions and performance figures are intentionally omitted in Phase F1. They will be shown only when supplied and validated by ALUSET.
