Discover the Benefits of Curtain Walling

Why Choose Our Curtain Walling Systems?

Curtain walling is a popular choice for contemporary buildings thanks to its flexibility and extensive use of glass. It creates striking glass facades that enhance natural light while providing superior thermal performance and insulation capabilities. Our systems efficiently manage wind and seismic loads, contributing to overall structural integrity without compromising aesthetic appeal or increasing construction costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are used in curtain walling?

Curtain walling primarily utilises lightweight materials such as aluminium frames, opaque glass panels, and metal cladding to create impressive and durable external walls.

How does curtain walling improve energy efficiency?

Insulated curtain wall systems promote thermal efficiency by reducing heat transfer, employing multiple gaskets and an outer seal that significantly decreases heating losses or energy inefficiencies.

Is curtain walling suitable for high rise buildings?

Yes, curtain walling is perfect for high rise and tall buildings, as it handles wind loads and seismic activity, leveraging its robust frame to maintain safety and durability.

How is maintenance for curtain walls managed?

Periodic cleaning of glass surfaces and routine inspections ensure optimal performance, with careful consideration given to components like mullions and drainage systems to minimise damage and maintain efficiency.

Can curtain walling be customised?

Yes, curtain walling can be customised in colour, finish, and thickness, allowing you to achieve desired aesthetics while ensuring lasting functionality across diverse architectural styles.
