What is a Curtain Wall?

A curtain-wall is a thin wall (often aluminium framed) that contains infills of glass, metal panels or thin stone.

The framing is attached to a specific building and does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building. A number of establishments have curtain walls installed to create a top-quality facade that looks good, using a range of glazing methods, vertical and horizontal panels, and structural techniques, that add to the appearance and aesthetics of the architecture.

Curtain Wall Types

Whether you are interested in aluminium curtain walls, glass curtain walls or something else, we can help.

There are a number of curtain wall systems that you can choose from. Our product types include MC wall, SC frame, Shopline and a Smart-wall. The MC-wall is a curtain-wall system that has a thermal break.

This differs from the SC frame which is suitable for low to medium rise facades; this includes shopfronts, showrooms and other areas similar to this. Our framework allows for quick construction on-site without leaving lots of loose components.

FIND OUT MORE

The other options we've got available for shop fronts include shopline and smart-wall. Shopline is a system specifically used for doors and shopfronts. They consist of multiple vertical mullions which go to the top.

Then the horizontal transoms are installed between the mullions. You will then have the option of a low threshold or no threshold due to the doors with concealed closers overhead. Finally, the smart wall is another product perfect for shopfronts.

The screen and door system incorporates a Polyamide thermal break which enhances the performance of the thermal qualities. These walls are perfect for any type of commercial screenwork and can also be used at schools and other educational buildings.

All our curtain walling systems are weather-resistant as we use premium materials, such as aluminium, which can withstand harsh rain and wind. The vertical mullions and horizontal transoms, used in shopline, are lightweight and their structural properties allow them to stick to the outer panels, come rain or shine.

Glass Curtain Wall

A glass curtain wall system is one of the most popular types and can be used by a number of different companies. The reason why glass is most commonly used is that it can be installed with a range of glazing:

  • transparent
  • translucent
  • opaque

This is all depending on your requirements.

You can also have various degrees of transparency. Vision or Spandrel glass can contain transparent or translucent glass which may be sued for security or aesthetic purposes. Opaque glass, with matte glazing, is often used in areas where things are to be hidden.

A number of people love the fact that glazed facades allow natural light to enter the building. Natural light not only looks great but also means you can save on electricity costs!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Concept of Curtain Walling?

Curtain walling is the outer covering of a building where the outer walls are attached to the building structure but they are non-structural themselves. 

It is used for aesthetic purposes and to keep out the weather.

What is the Difference Between Curtain Walling and Cladding?

Curtain walling is stronger than cladding. 

Curtain walls are generally made of aluminium of large glass panels, whereas cladding is often made from UPVC, wood, metal or concrete.

What is the Life Expectancy of a Curtain Wall?

The life expectancy of a curtain wall is 60+ years.

Obviously, the exact lifespan will vary depending on a range of factors such as the material used.

Most curtain walls are installed using strong and durable materials allowing for a long lifespan.

What are the Two Types of Curtain Walling?

The two types of curtain walling are semi-unitised and stick systems. 

A semi-unitised curtain wall is a structural glazing method where the primary structural framing components are assembled like building blocks. In this assembly, vertical mullions are initially affixed to the floor slabs and then horizontal mullions are connected to the vertical mullions to create a grid-like structure.

A stuck system is where the elements are pieced together gradually onto the building's framework. This approach is primarily employed in low-rise structures or compact areas as exterior access is crucial for reaching greater heights.
