Facade Systems

Highlights

Zola's facade systems open a world of possibilities for capturing natural light and views through big walls of glass.

Overview

Zola’s large glazing units and flexible combinations offer many options for creating glazed facades. CurtainWall systems are a good end-to-end solution for high rise and smaller multi-story buildings. CornerGlass™ preserves uninterrupted panoramic views with a post-less 90-degree corner glass assembly. StackedWall™ combines fixed and operable units in a wall of glass that maximizes natural light at a fraction of the cost of CurtainWall.

Frames as narrow as 2 inches
Integrated LiftSlide solutions
Total design flexibility
