Stick-System Curtain Wall
The Stick System is also often known as conventional curtainwall and has been in continuous use as a means for cladding
concrete or structural steel skeletons for over 60 years. Essentially, the stick system is constructed entirely on site using
anodized or powder-coated aluminium profiles to create a grid of mullions and transoms which are all mechanically connected.
The aluminium grid is attached to the structure by means of accurately-placed galvanized steel brackets and stainless steel
bolts and screws are used in order to prevent anodic reaction between steel and aluminium. Expansion and contraction are
accommodated by means of sliding joints in the mullions.
Glass is secured by means of mill-finish aluminium pressure-plates with integral gaskets known as captured glazing, and a wide
variety of snap-on cover plates is available to create a pleasing aesthetic appearance. With this system, the perimeter sealants of
Insulated Glass Units is totally concealed. Provision of rain-screen principles ensures efficient control of air and water infiltration
by means of internal drainage to weep-holes in the mullions.
The stick system is relatively simple and competitive, although these advantages are becoming steadily overtaken by rising
labour costs and slower pace of construction which is also affected by adverse weather conditions. All glass has to be installed on
site and extreme care must be exercised to ensure that all joints are perfectly sealed with appropriate materials. In addition, the
application of stick system curtainwalling requires the use of scaffolding which tends to limit the potential building height. The
stick system is not a suitable option for any project on a fast track construction schedule, or where regular adverse weather
conditions are likely to delay progress.
The Gutmann F50/F60 Optical Structural system is an excellent example of stick system curtainwall technology in which the
glass is mechanically secured by means of an anodized or powder coated flush-glazed pressure plate to give the appearance of
a structural silicone curtainwall with concealed glass edges.
Overall, the stick system of conventional curtainwalling still has a useful position in contemporary architectural design, especially
for low-rise buildings, and is a mature engineering concept for reliable and cost-effective building envelope design.
