Curtain walling is a thin glazing system that is attached to the structure of a building without carrying any of its floor or roof loads. It usually consists of an aluminium frame with glass in-fills and metal panels forming an integral part of the building's envelope.
Curtain walling differs from shopfront systems as it is designed to span multiple floors, and accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, building sway and movement, and water diversion. Curtain walling systems are thermally efficient as they can maintain the warm temperature indoors without any need for heating and cooling systems.

for curtain walling today! We can integrate capped, vertically capped, horizontally capped or silicone glazed systems into your curtain walling to create a unique external facade. Stick systems can be installed piece by piece on site, with the glazing inserted into the frame from the inside or the outside, depending on access conditions.
Unitised systems are pre-fabricated in modules off-site and delivered in panels. They are built to factory standards and require a low installation time on site.
