Curtain Wall Systems Provide Protection and Individuality for Your Building

Curtain Wall Systems: A Building’s First Line of Defense

As we all know, there is no doubt that any kind of building facade should be able to withstand the damaging effects caused from the natural weather, which, day by day, inflicts heat, rain, wind, and snow upon the structure. Fortunately, curtain wall system is such a magic style of the modern building envelope that utilizes microcell technology for its extremely high impact resistance, as well as a better protection for the building in applications. In that regard, while you’re inside, don’t worry when the rain pours, the wind howls, the snow falls, and the hail strikes, because your building is protected.

Installing Curtain Wall Systems for Added Security
In recent years, modern curtain wall designs tend to come with a double click locking seam, so that everything is secure and capable of handling a high-load resistance. Besides, this kind of building facade can not only ensures the security of the occupants inside the building, but also makes installations much quicker and much less cumbersome. Specifically speaking, lightweight materials of curtain wall frames can make curtain wall facades easy to work with in applications. In practical applications, curtain wall systems mostly use aluminum frames infilled with cladding of glazing, metal, or stone. Connected to a building’s floors or columns, they don’t carry the structure but do serve to help keep out air and water, reduce sway, and transfer wind and gravity loads to keep the structure stable. In addition, aluminium curtain wall systems used in the residential buildings can protect the interior from the elements and create a safe and comfortable living environment, all with optimal thermal performance for building occupants.

In recent years, with an increasing popularity of open plan layouts, it has become increasingly popular to utilise fire rated curtain wall in high-rise buildings. Especially for large commercial premises, there are multiple challenges when it comes to building compartmentation and passive fire protection. In that regard, fire curtain walls can be set within the ceiling and walls, or face fixed depending on the building requirements. They will then sit in place and remain hidden, always ready to drop when needed in a fire situation due to their gravity fail-to-safe operations, even when all areas of power are not available for consumption.
