5. The unit type does not rely on scaffolding, and the installer does not need to use the hanging basket to install it outdoors. It will be safer and better control of construction quality, and there will be no major quality problems caused by on-site workers' operation problems.

6. For the unit curtain wall, it is necessary to ensure that the quality of the construction personnel is relatively high. Several special trainings must be carried out before entering the construction site, and then the factory processing link can meet the training environment personnel of the construction.

7. Frame curtain walls can meet most common curtain wall projects and design shapes, and unit curtain walls can meet almost all ordinary glass curtain walls and glass curtain walls with complex design shapes; now there are more and more iconic curtain wall projects and super high-rise buildings.
