A wall composed of factory-assembled units connected to the building frame and to each other by means of anchors.
Wall Panel
Is a single piece of material, usually 昀氀at, and cut into a rectangular shape, that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall.
Wall panels are func琀椀onal as:

Window-type Wall panel

Use to increase natural light, enhance the view, make a room feel larger and more open,
act as the primary air/vapor/weather-resis琀椀ve barrier for the building envelope, and
provide high soundproo昀椀ng levels.

It allows for ample natural light to enter the building and provides extensive views of the
exterior. The components of a window wall include mullions (the framing bars) and panels  High Design Performance  Window walls are prone to leaking
