A curtain wall system is a non-structural outer covering of a building that keeps out the weather and provides thermal insulation. It is typically made of lightweight materials like glass, aluminum, and steel.
The two main types of curtain wall systems are stick systems (assembled on-site) and unitized systems (pre-fabricated and assembled in modules).
Curtain walls offer improved thermal efficiency, enhanced aesthetics, reduced building weight, better daylighting, and protection against environmental elements.
Common materials include glass, aluminum, steel, stone, and composite panels.
Yes, curtain walls can be retrofitted into existing buildings, but the process requires careful planning to ensure compatibility with the existing structure.
Curtain walls are typically used in multi-story buildings and can span multiple floors, whereas storefront systems are designed for ground-level installations, often limited to one or two stories.
Considerations include structural performance, thermal insulation, air and water infiltration resistance, wind load resistance, and aesthetics.
Curtain walls are attached to the building’s structural framework using anchors and brackets.
A well-maintained curtain wall system can last between 40 to 60 years, depending on the materials used and environmental conditions.
Thermal performance is critical for energy efficiency, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs by minimizing heat transfer through the building envelope.
