Glass curtain walls create modern, light-filled façades while providing protection against external weather conditions. These systems typically consist of purpose-designed aluminium framing systems with insulated glazing units installed within the supporting profiles.
Curtain wall systems offer a wide range of configurations and customisation options. Through careful engineering, they can be tailored to meet specific project requirements, including thermal performance, weather resistance, acoustic insulation, daylight penetration, structural performance and architectural appearance.
Our team coordinates the curtain wall system design with the surrounding building envelope and structural elements, paying particular attention to the critical interfaces where different construction systems meet. This helps ensure structural integrity as well as the required air- and water-tightness of the façade.
By including curtain walls within our wider façade scope, we can coordinate the complete interface between the glazed façade and surrounding wall and roof constructions. This reduces the number of separate contractors involved and provides a single, coordinated approach to the building envelope and its weather-tightness.
