How skyscraper windows are installed

I give a lot of credit to the people that work at these heights.

Amazing

Windows

WOW

😲🤧😮

Knowing how clumsy I am I'd probably slip off by accident 🫣

Skyscraper windows are installed using pre-fab curtain wall systems lifted by cranes, then secured by crews on suspended platforms. Precision, safety, and weatherproofing are key throughout the process!

2. Skyscraper windows are usually part of unitized curtain wall systems that are pre-assembled off-site. These panels are hoisted into place by cranes and installed floor by floor using anchors and brackets, with glaziers working from inside or on secure platforms. It's a method that ensures speed, safety, and structural precision at great heights.

3. Another method is stick-built installation, where the window frame components and glass panels are brought to the site separately and assembled piece by piece directly on the building. This is done using scaffolding or mast climbers, and glaziers install mullions, transoms, and glass manually. Though slower than unitized systems, it allows for more flexibility on-site, especially for irregular building shapes or retrofits.

Dangerous, courageous & highly skillful Skyscraper windows installation process.
