Unit and mullion systemThis is a combination of the stick system and the unitsystem and may be regarded as a compromise of thetwo. It is more suitable for use in medium-sizedprojects so as to balance the factors of lead time, easeof installation and economy of scale.
Panel systemA panel curtain wall system is similar to a unit system, thedifference being that a panel system has homogeneous sheet orcast panel with few joints and may not have separate mullions.Unit systems are made up of smaller components fabricatedtogether to form much complex panels that capable to performheavier duties or other more specific requirements. However,due to the relative simplicity of the system, curtain wall ofpanel system design may not be able to fulfill the usualrequirements most high-rise buildings required under HongKong’s environment. Its use is therefore more limited tocertain kinds of buildings like those of standardized design forlow-income classes or for buildings of industrial purposes. Inthis case, the panels can be constructed of sheet materials andmanufactured in large quantity in very low cost.
