Commercial Framing Systems

STRUCTURAL & SUPPORTING FAÇADE SYSTEMS

Commercial framing systems designed to support façade performance, structural integration, and buildability across a wide range of commercial projects.

Commercial framing systems provide the structural and interface framework that enables façade, window, and door systems to perform as intended. These systems must accommodate building movement, structural tolerances, and varied architectural conditions while supporting reliable installation and long‑term performance.

Hunter Windows delivers commercial framing systems aligned to project‑specific requirements, working with architects, builders, and façade consultants to integrate framing solutions that support performance, compliance, and efficient construction from early specification through delivery.

Typical Applications

Commercial framing systems are commonly specified for:

Commercial office buildings
Mixed‑use developments
Retail and shopping centre façades
Institutional and public buildings
Projects with complex interfaces or non‑standard conditions

Each application requires careful coordination between framing, façade systems, and structural elements.

Key Performance Considerations

Commercial framing systems must address a combination of structural, performance, and constructability factors, including:

Structural integration with building frames and slabs
Accommodation of building movement and tolerances
Weather resistance and interface sealing
Support for glazing, window, and door systems
Consistency across repetitive façade conditions
Installation sequencing and access considerations

Early alignment between framing design and project requirements reduces risk and improves build quality.

System Configuration & Integration

Commercial framing systems may be configured to support a range of façade and building conditions, including:

Framing for window wall and curtain wall systems
Support framing for shop front assemblies
Custom framing for complex interfaces and geometries
Integration with structural, façade, and service elements

Where early budget pricing or RFQ input is required, we work with project documentation to support system selection, scope definition, and interface confirmation ahead of detailed design and procurement.

Compliance & Buildability

Commercial framing systems operate within defined structural and performance frameworks. Our approach considers:

Relevant Australian Standards and NCC requirements
Structural performance and interface coordination
Buildability, staging, and installation efficiency
Long-term durability and maintenance considerations

Commercial programmes move quickly and site conditions can change. We support delivery by:

confirming site conditions early (access, staging, tolerances, interfaces)
coordinating measure and manufacture to reduce rework
planning delivery and installation sequencing to suit programme requirements

Where RFQ or tender documentation includes performance criteria or validation requirements, we work with your scope and documentation to confirm an appropriate system approach. Detailed testing, certification, and performance information is available within our Resources section.

Why Specify Hunter Windows

Commercial projects specify Hunter Windows for framing systems that offer:

Experience supporting a wide range of façade configurations
Systems designed for performance, integration, and durability
Locally supported fabrication and delivery
Early engagement to manage technical and construction risk

Where end‑to‑end coordination is required, our approach can integrate site measure, local manufacture, delivery, and installation sequencing so the glazing scope remains aligned from RFQ through to handover.

Framing Systems

CentreGLAZE™ Framing

Elevate™ CentreGLAZE™ framing offers a balanced aesthetic, with glass positioned in the centre of the frame. Designed for use in both residential and commercial applications, CentreGLAZE™ framing is compatible with a wide range of window and door systems.

FrontGLAZE™ Framing

Elevate Commercial FrontGLAZE™ framing systems offer a clean external finish. Glass is positioned very close to the external face with minimal external frame projection. Splayed external ledges and glazing beads shed dust and water from the framing whilst offering excellent water and weather resistance.

FaceLINE™ Framing

The Elevate™ Commercial FaceLINE™ framing system has been designed to highlight and complement the clean-lined façades that are a favourite within the commercial design community. FaceLINE™ framing enables glass to be positioned very close to the external face of the frame.

Curtain Wall

Thermally broken and thermally improved curtain wall systems.
