Stick Curtain Wall in Qatar
Versatile field-assembled mullion-transom architectural curtain wall systems for low-to-mid rise developments.
Scope of Stick Curtain Wall in Qatar
Technical Definition & Scope
Stick curtain wall systems are assembled component by component directly on the building skeleton, with vertical mullions erected first, followed by horizontal transoms, glass panels, and exterior pressure caps.
Materials & Structural Metallurgy
Extruded aluminium mullions and transoms, thermal break barrier clips, EPDM gaskets, and insulated glass units.
Precision Supply & Fabrication
Offers immense architectural flexibility for complex building geometries, irregular angles, and custom spans.
Installation, Commissioning & Maintenance
Installed from exterior scaffolding or boom lifts with mechanical screw-fixed pressure plates and snap-on aesthetic covers.
Available Types & System Options
Tailored specifications engineered to match architectural drawings and structural load criteria.
Standard Pressure-Capped Stick System
Prominent 50mm exterior aluminium caps accentuating building gridlines.
Horizontally Capped Only
Emphasizes horizontal ribbon lines while vertical joints are flush silicone glazed.
Vertically Capped Only
Accentuates building height with strong vertical fins while horizontal joints are flush.
Faceted & Curved Stick Walls
Engineered mitered mullion connections following building curves and polygon facets.
Typical Project Applications in Qatar
Commercial Office Complexes
Flexible, cost-effective glazed exterior envelopes.
Shopping Centers
Expansive storefront curtain walling and mall entrance lobbies.
Private Luxury Mansions
Double-height panoramic glass living room elevations.

Quality & Technical Compliance Policy
We operate under a strict code of engineering accuracy, utilizing verified material alloys and certified installation practices across Qatar.
Material Traceability
Extrusions and hardware are supplied with verifiable mill test certificates confirming alloy grades (6063-T6, SS316) and compliance with international standards.
Zero-Compromise Fabrication
Computerized cutting and pneumatic corner crimping maintain dimensional tolerances within ±0.5mm, ensuring airtight, watertight frame joints.
Verified Site Testing
Installed systems undergo on-site water penetration hose testing, pull-load anchor verification, and hardware calibration before client signoff.
Frequently Asked Questions: Stick Curtain Wall
When is a stick curtain wall better than a unitized system?+
Stick curtain walling is ideal for projects under 6 to 8 stories, projects with complex bespoke shapes, or projects where crane access for large unitized panels is restricted.
Can exterior caps be painted in different colors?+
Yes, exterior snap-on caps can be powder-coated in any RAL color or anodized in champagne, bronze, or silver to create architectural contrast.
