What are window wall and window wall systems, and what are their benefits? In a recent thought leadership video, Kawneer’s Product Manager for Windows, Window Wall and Balcony Entrances James Butler shares the many benefits of window wall and ribbon window systems.
Kawneer’s window wall solutions are designed to allow prefabricated, pre-glazed or site-glazed window and door units to be installed between the floor slabs of mid- to high-rise buildings in a variety of applications, giving the appearance of a curtain wall.
A variety of Kawneer systems can be fabricated in punched openings to create the appearance of window wall. Our ribbon window solutions are installed from the interior, offering more design flexibility and providing occupants with floor-to-ceiling views.

Kawneer’s versatile systems and applications offer a variety of aesthetic options, such as captured, structural silicone or structural tape glazing looks, to create a seamless window wall or ribbon window appearance.
