What should be taken into consideration before your curtain wall construction

As a rule, designing your preferable custom curtain walls can be a complex task in a building project. The level of complexity is typically driven by your goals, constraints, and performance objectives. Similar to what a designer must consider with a standard system, performance criteria such as wind loads, wind-driven rain resistance, and thermal performance for the system must be met. In addition, fabrication limits and installation constraints limit what a designer can develop to meet these requirements.

Considering that a building facade is being aesthetically pleasing as well as playing a vital role in energy efficiency and linking exterior building design with interior one. If you would consider structural glass curtain wall in your building project, your glass curtain wall must ensure the optimal thermal and energy performance which reflects a positive environmental and air conditioning cost impact as well as occupants’ comfort and better mood. They are mainly impacted by design strategies such as building orientation, climate, window-to-wall ratio, and glazing type and characteristics which wise consideration will reduce the amount of needed cooling/heating energy, heat loss/gain, and the emission of carbon dioxide.

In practical applications, curtain walls are typically constructed using lightweight glass, along with other materials such as aluminum, stone, marble, or composite materials. Because curtain wall costs are relatively high in most of the building construction today, extensive repairs and refurbishment to a curtain wall can be difficult and expensive. In that regard, it is very important for you to choose a professional metal, stone, and glass restoration provider before you would like to develop and implement a customized maintenance plan for your curtain walls in future. Furthermore, a good maintenance plan should include routine inspection, regular cleaning, prompt repair of minor problems, and written records of maintenance activity to keep you on track.

In addition, modern curtain wall systems require structural supports as strong so that they are versatile so as to keep pace with today’s increasingly large free spans, challenging angles, as well as sophisticated glass-clad aesthetics. For example, a steel profile can be two-thirds the size of a comparable aluminum profile while meeting the same curtain wall performance criteria.
