Curtain Walling & Shopfront Systems from Impala Fabricators — stick-built and semi-unitised aluminium and glass facades for commercial buildings.
Stick-Built Curtain Walling
On-site assembled aluminium and glass facades
In a stick-built curtain wall, aluminium mullions and transoms are erected piece by piece on site and then glazed, giving a flexible, cost-effective aluminium facade system that Impala Fabricators can adapt to irregular building geometries.
Best applications: Low- to mid-rise office buildings, shopfronts, showrooms and building facades where design flexibility and on-site adjustment are more important than the fastest possible installation.
Why it works: Stick systems are more competitively priced than pre-fabricated units and can incorporate sliding doors, casement vents and shopfront glazing within the same aluminium grid, giving architects flexibility on Nairobi commercial projects.
Semi-Unitised & Shopfront Glazing
Factory-prepared aluminium and glass panels
Semi-unitised systems are partly fabricated and glazed in the Impala Fabricators workshop before being transported and fixed on site, reducing on-site labour time compared to a fully stick-built approach, while shopfront systems use narrow-sightline aluminium framing to maximise glass area at street level.
Best applications: Retail shopfronts, malls, bank branches, showrooms and mid-rise office facades where speed of installation and a clean, narrow-sightline aluminium finish matter.
Why it works: Pre-fabrication under workshop conditions improves quality control and shortens on-site installation time, while narrow aluminium sightlines keep the visual focus on the display or facade glass — a key selling point for retail and commercial clients.
