What is a Glass Curtain Wall?
What differentiates a curtain wall from a glass wall is that it much thinner and it does not support the overall structure of a building. Any wind or gravity that building is built to withstand is carried mainly by the structure itself, not by the glass. There are two types of curtain wall. The first is stick, which you stand and assemble at the site where it will be used. The second is unitized, which is preglazed and made into a unit at the shop and then hung in its place when it gets to the site where it will be used.
Thermal Efficiency
Are you concerned that so much glass on your building will decrease thermal efficiency? Don’t worry – there is a truly wide variety of high performance curtain walls on the market that will instead enhance thermal efficiency and performance for your building. Some have thermally broken aluminum frames, which have a resistant barrier that prevents heat from flowing out of your house or place of business easily. Others have thermal spacers, which make the curtain wall more airtight, thereby decreasing the flow of heat out of the building. Still others have Low-E glass, which is a reflective material that keeps air inside the structure. In addition to maintaining thermal performance, curtain walls are usually built to aid in water drainage throughout the curtain wall system.
