You need cladding? Unistak

USA: Responding to building project teams seeking energy-efficient, quick-to-install exterior cladding systems, A-1 Glass has launched Unistak AOne Wall System.

This new, unitised rain screen wall system is optimized for mid- to high-rise wall applications in cold climates and high-humidity interiors.
 
The unitized system consists of a sturdy, steel chassis that integrates aluminum, thermally-improved windows with dual- or triple-glazed insulating glazing units with pre-fabricated, R15-R22 insulated, factory-painted, galvanized steel or aluminum panels; air, water and vapor barriers; and an interior drywall framing sub-system. The patented, interlocking track system also allows for sun shades, louvers, terracotta tiles, stone, brick, stucco, and custom finishes, as well as recycled metals and sustainable building materials.
 
A-1's vice president and lead designer Craig Carson described Unistak’s credentials: "When condensation seeps into exterior building systems, mould can develop and affect occupants' health. Condominium and homeowner associations are fully aware of the litigation that can result from so-called 'sick building syndrome’. Such considerations also are especially important to hospitals, health care facilities, senior residences, schools and daycare centers, where people may have immune system sensitivities."
 
Carson added: "With the high-performance Unistak system, owners and occupants can be confident they have an exterior that contributes to their well-being, providing a comfortable interior, filled with natural light, while saving on heating and cooling costs."
 
Under controlled, factory conditions, the Unistak system is fabricated into large units, customized to meet the specific project needs. These are sequenced and shipped to the job site. Working directly off the truck, the contractors take the pre-assembled unit and install it directly onto the building. Depending on the size of the units, and the job site's space constraints, a crane can be used to lift oversized sections into place.
