High-Rise Apartments
Unitized and window-wall towers with acoustic glazing, fire-rated spandrel zones and balconies — engineered for resident comfort at height.
Unitized systems →Residential Facade Projects
Homes are where comfort, silence and safety are the spec. Hanart engineers residential facades — from high-rise apartment towers to premium villas — where every detail serves the people living behind the glass.

What Residents Feel
Four priorities that shape residential facades
1. Acoustic Comfort
Traffic and neighbor noise are the top residential complaints. We engineer glass laminates and sealed joints to the site noise map — not to a generic spec.
2. Thermal Comfort
Windows are the thermal weak point of every home. Thermally broken frames and low-E coated glass cut heating and cooling cost, and condensation risk.
3. Safety & Fire
Balcony fall protection, tempered/laminated glazing, fire-rated spandrels and cavity barriers at every floor — safety is engineered in, not bolted on.
4. Natural Light & Views
Slim sightlines and high-transmission glass maximize daylight and skyline views — the two things residents actually pay for.
Systems We Use
The residential facade toolbox
| Application | Recommended System | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment tower, > 60 m | Unitized curtain wall | Speed, weather-tight erection, factory QC for thousands of repeats |
| Mid-rise apartments | Window-wall + stick built | Value balance, site flexibility, simpler logistics |
| Balconies & loggias | Glass railings + sliding glazing | Open views, wind shelter, safety compliance |
| Podium & accents | Stone / ACP / aluminum panels | Architectural character and entrances |
| Villas & low-rise | Slim-frame windows & doors | Thermal performance, security, minimal sightlines |
FAQ
Residential facade questions, answered
High-rise apartments typically use unitized curtain wall or window-wall systems with acoustic glass, plus rainscreen or ACP accents on balconies and podium. Balcony glazing, railings and louver screens add the residential character.
We engineer the glass spec and frame seals to the noise map of the site: laminated glass for traffic noise, acoustic interlayers, and sealed unitized joints to close flanking paths. Typical results reach Rw 38–44 dB.
Yes. Balcony glazing, glass railings, louver screens and canopy interfaces are part of the residential facade scope in most of our projects — one contractor for the whole envelope.
Residential tower facades follow strict fire codes: fire-rated spandrel zones, cavity barriers at every floor level, A1/A2 materials on critical zones and EI60 perimeter protection. Hanart designs and documents these per project code.
