Three popular types of glass curtain wall design

For a long time, glass plays an essential role in the facade. Glass is a uniform material, a solidified liquid. By its property of transparency it opens up our buildings to the outside world.

Each glazing system needs careful integration with other basic components, for example, roofs, walls, and wall claddings etc. Glass curtain walls are often installed at a little part of the front or sometimes these are installed at the whole front structure. In the current market, aluminium curtain wall is very popular in the modern buildings. Aluminum is beneficial for glass walls because aluminum is considered as too strong material and it maximizes the strength of the glass curtain walls in applications. These can be installed at any size of the building. These types of curtain walls do not require any additional help or weight.
