The Kawneer Global Special Projects group (KGSP) specializes in landmark unitized curtain wall projects around the globe. KGSP provides single source responsibility for all phases of the project, including design, engineering, project management and more.

Unitized curtain walls feature factory fabrication, panel assembly and glazing, with completed units hung onto the structures to form the building enclosure. Unitized curtain walls offer the advantages of speed, a controlled environment and lower field installation costs, particularly when compared to stick systems, which typically involve jobsite installation and glazing. Economic benefits of unitized curtain walls are particularly significant on large projects or in areas with high labor rates.

KGSP's extensive experience on major international projects spans more than 200 projects and 36 countries. The group begins work early in the design stage, collaborating with owners, architects and general contractors to design and develop custom unitized systems that can help achieve the most ambitious of visions. Highlights of the KGSP portfolio include The Trump International Hotel and Tower at Waikiki Beachwalk, Atlantis III in Nassau, Bahamas, YVR Terminal in Vancouver, B.C., and many more.

KGSP capabilities include:

  • Sales and Architectural Service & Support: Including pre-specification advice and assistance, as well as any support required during specifications stage, such as estimating, drafting, etc.
  • Technical Expertise: Based on project parameters/needs; can include bid proposals, specification reviews, die development, etc.
  • Custom Engineered Systems: Custom systems designed and developed for one-of-a-kind, large-scaled projects located in the United States or abroad.
