Commercial curtain walls differ from most load bearing structural components. They’re built to span multiple floors, taking into consideration design requirements such as: thermal expansion and contraction; building power and motion; water diversion; and thermal efficiency for cost effective heat, cooling, and light within the building.
Curtain walls create an amazing aesthetic appeal that enhances both commercial or residential architecture.
