Dallas Omni Hotel, Dallas, TX

During the course of one day, 69 panels were installed. With such fast installation due to unitized panels we were able to close in a floor every 4 days, allowing us to finishing the tower 2 months ahead of schedule.  The blue film on the outside of the glass is for protection while they were pouring concrete on upper floors.

This time-lapse video represents a typical 8 hour day setting and installing Unitized Curtain Wall Panels. The total number of panels that were set that day were 38. The Project highlighted in this video is the Tempe Gateway Office Tower in Tempe, Arizona. The system utilized is the UCW-775BGC Unitized Curtain Wall System manufactured by Trainor Glass Company. The purpose of this video is to illustrate the advantages of using a Unitized Curtain Wall System. Along with the benefits of enhanced performance, quality, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, this video exemplifies that our most valuable resource is preserved - - time.

Unitized & Stick-Built

UNITIZED

Trainor Glass produces curtain wall systems of “units” or “panels” that are pre-engineered, pre-fabricated, pre-assembled, and pre-glazed. Our manufacturing facilities are state-of-the-art, providing automated, precision cutting and custom tooling in an organized, safe, clean and climate controlled environment. By completing the bulk of the detailed glazing work, we drastically reduce field labor tasks, such as applying sealant, which drastically reduces field labor hours, and therefore, risk.

The results are:

  • Superior quality. Unitized panels are airtight and weatherproof as soon as they are erected.
  • Rapid building close-in times. A skilled crew can install 20-25 units per day, about 1,500 square feet of curtain wall. 
  • Less field labor hours, resulting in less risk.
  • Overall time, money and worry savings.  Our unitized systems keep projects on budget and on time. 

 


STICK-BUILT

Trainor Glass Company has the experience and knowledge to help you choose the right system for your project. Although unitizing has many benefits, there are instances where a stick-built system would be the better choice. Some designs lend themselves to being stick-built in order to achieve the look the architect designed. Jobs that have non-typical sizes or do not repeat mullion and glass sizes are often stick-built. Some smaller jobs that require off the shelf materials may be stick-built. Whether it be a stick-built or unitized project, Trainor Glass will bring the most cost effective and schedule conscious product to the table to ensure a successful project for our client.


Transition Systems

Trainor Glass Company can provide systems that simplify the installation of transitions from windows to curtain wall systems or wall assemblies while ensuring a continuous, compatible and durable seal. The Proglaze® ETA Trainor Glass installed at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin attaches directly to the glazing system allowing silicone rubber extensions to overlap the face of the surrounding substrate.

  • Help prevent mold
  • Help prevent air and moisture infiltration
  • Reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling
  • Offer a high quality transition from glazing system to surrounding conditions
