The Definitive Handbook on Facade Cladding & Glazing Systems
Modern buildings are judged first—and remembered longest—by their facades. Yet facade cladding and glazing remain one of the most complex, high-risk, and misunderstood scopes in contemporary construction.
This book is the most comprehensive, practice-driven reference ever written on the design, engineering, fabrication, procurement, installation, testing, and handover of facade cladding and glazing systems for high-rise residential towers, commercial buildings, hotels, and IT parks.
Written for real projects, real risks, and real-world delivery, this handbook treats the facade not as a drawing package—but as a manufactured, engineered, and installed system.
WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK DIFFERENT
Most facade books stop at concept design or material descriptions.
This handbook goes far beyond.
Covers the entire facade lifecycle – from early design intent to post-handover maintenance
Integrates design + fabrication + installation, not in isolation but as one continuous system
Explains how facades are actually built, tested, transported, installed, and handed over
Written from the perspective of consultants, contractors, developers, and owners
Applicable to India, Middle East, Southeast Asia, and global high-rise markets
This is not an academic text.
This is a field-tested professional manual.
