Curtain Walling

Curtain walling in Wales is a modern solution for commercial buildings, offering sleek glass curtain wall designs and durable aluminium curtain wall systems. At Wales Shopfronts, our experienced curtain wall installers and contractors deliver high-performance facade solutions that enhance both appearance and energy efficiency.

Curtain wall systems consist of a framework that supports the exterior cladding material, such as glass panels. The framing is attached to the building’s structure, but it does not carry the load of the building. Instead, the curtain wall transfers wind loads and its own weight to the building’s structure, making it an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution for large buildings with expansive glass exteriors.

Benefits of Curtain Walling for Commercial Buildings

Key Components of Curtain Walling:

Curtain walling systems are widely used in modern architecture due to their durability, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. Here are the key benefits of choosing professional curtain walling services in Wales:

Glass Panels: Often the most visually striking element, these panels provide transparency and natural light, enhancing the building’s aesthetic appeal.
Aluminum or Steel Frames: These structural elements support the glass panels, providing stability and resistance to environmental forces.
Mullions and Transoms: Vertical and horizontal members that connect and divide the glass panels, creating the grid-like pattern characteristic of many curtain wall designs.
Spandrel Panels: These non-vision glass panels or panels with opaque materials are used to maintain the building’s exterior appearance and provide insulation.
Sealants: Essential for weatherproofing, sealants prevent water infiltration and air leakage.

Basically, there are two types of curtains walling systems, depending upon the assembly of their components. The first one is the stick curtain wall system in which the components are assembled piece by piece on the building itself. This works well for low rise buildings. This is a flexible option as compared to its counterparts because it gives room for adjustments. On the other hand, in unitized curtain wall systems the parts are already assembled in the factory and are brought to the location as a single unit. This type of system works well in high rise buildings.

So, there is no doubt that every building will have a certain type of curtain walling system installed. Curtain wall systems must be waterproof. At times of rain and snow, you would not want your buildings to drown in it. Therefore, the frames we provide come with pocket sills sloped and wept glazing to collect and drain the water/snow. The slope to the exterior collects water and drains it automatically.

Additionally, sill flashings and slope heads are also added to the exterior to enhance the drainage process. The walls have an air and water seal to disbar water/air to enter the building. For this, perimeter sealants are used to limit the penetration of water and air. READMORE
