Curtain Wall Systems
What is Curtain Wall
Curtain wall is a type of facade system that is composed of a thin aluminum frame, glass panels, and infill panels. The frame is anchored to the building’s structure and provides support for the glass panels, which are attached to the frame using gaskets or other mechanical fasteners. Infill panels, which can be made of a variety of materials, are used to fill the spaces between the glass panels.
This system is used to provide covering of a building facade in which the exterior walls are non-structural.
Types of Curtain Wall Systems
There are two main types of curtain wall: stick-built and unitized.
- Stick-built curtain walls are assembled on-site, with each component being installed individually.
- Unitized curtain walls are pre-assembled in a factory and are installed on the building as complete units.
Advantages
Curtain walls are lightweight and provide excellent insulation that can help to reduce energy costs. Additionally, curtain walls are highly customizable and can be used to meet the specific needs of different engineering complexity: curtain walling, roofs, skylights, etc.
