Curtain Wall System
Curtain walling refers to a non-load bearing façade system designed to protect buildings from external weather conditions while enhancing visual aesthetics.
Typically constructed using glass and aluminium or steel framing, curtain walling systems offer a sleek, contemporary finish and allow natural light to flood interior spaces.
As they do not carry any structural load beyond their own weight, curtain walls are fixed to the building’s structural framework, serving as a protective and architectural envelope.
