Glass facade & curtain wall
Glass facade or curtain wall is a non-load-bearing external cladding system made primarily of glass and supported by aluminum or steel framing. It is installed on the exterior of a building to provide a sleek, modern appearance while allowing natural light into the interior.
Unlike structural walls, curtain walls do not carry the weight of the building; instead, they are designed to resist wind loads, water penetration, and air infiltration.
Curtain walls are commonly used in commercial buildings, high-rises, and modern architectural designs due to their visual appeal and functional benefits.
Features
By choosing this, you can enjoy several key advantages
Unitized System Efficiency
Prefabricated panel systems (unitized curtain walls) allow for rapid on-site installation with minimal scaffolding, reducing labor time and project delays—ideal for high-rise construction.
Integrated Ventilation Options
Certain systems can incorporate operable windows or concealed ventilation flaps, offering fresh air circulation without disrupting the exterior appearance.
Self-Cleaning Glass Technology
Available with nano-coatings that break down organic dirt under sunlight and wash off with rain, significantly reducing cleaning frequency and maintenance costs.
Hidden Fixing Systems
Point-fixed or toggle systems allow for clean, frameless visual finishes from the outside—perfect for luxury retail or minimalist architecture.
Dynamic Glazing Capabilities
Can be fitted with electrochromic (smart) glass that tints automatically based on sunlight or user control, enhancing comfort and energy performance.
Fire-Rated Glass Integration
Advanced curtain wall designs can include fire-resistant glass panels (up to 120 minutes) while maintaining a consistent aesthetic across the façade.
