Curtain Walling
Curtain walling refers to a non-structural outer covering of a building’s facade that is designed to protect the interior from the elements. Unlike traditional walls, curtain walls are typically made of lightweight materials such as glass, aluminum, or steel, allowing them to span multiple floors. They are often used in modern architecture to create a visually appealing, transparent, and energy-efficient building envelope.
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.

Top Benefits Of Curtain Wall System
Key Components of Curtain Walling:
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.
