Curtain walls
View our versatile collection of durable curtain walls effectively separate the interior of a building from the exterior. Usually associated with large, multi-storey buildings they are part of the primary structure of a building. Curtain walls are built to support not just their own weight, but the loads imposed on them, too. Our curtain walls are comprised of a light aluminium frame onto which different infill panels can be installed – like stylish glass glazing. Modernist, and a popular style internationally, curtain walls can be used across a wide range of buildings. Let us know your requirements and we’ll get to work.
Standard Curtain Walls

Structural Curtain Walls
Structural Curtain Walls
Structural curtain walls, in their simplest form, are types of curtain wall systems that consist of glass that is bonded or anchored to a structure without the use of continuously gasketed aluminium pressure plates. Visually, they create greater transparency than traditional systems.
We can customise your structured curtain walls in a number of ways to meet your requirements.

Polygonal,Orthogonal,Curved
Polygonal,Orthogonal,Curved
A polygonal or orthogonal curtain wall is a non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding that is hung on the outside of the building and typically extends from floor to floor. Vertical frame elements of the curtain wall pass the surface of the floor slabs and the anchoring is normally only provided on vertical frame elements. This system is used for round or wave-shaped building structures.
We can customise your curved, polygonal, orthogonal in a number of ways to meet your requirements.

Skylights
Skylights
A skylight is a roof opening with transparent or tinted glass. Skylights have found widespread use in industrial, commercial and residential buildings, especially in buildings facing north. The installations range from purely functional to sophisticated aesthetic forms. Flat roof buildings can benefit from domed skylights and they’re often used as part of a smart air control system – the choice is yours.
We can customise your skylight in a number of ways to meet your requirements.

Unitized Curtain Walls
Unitized Curtain Walls
A unitized curtain wall system, also known as a panel system or modular system, consists of panels of glass, transoms and posts that are prefabricated and delivered to the construction site.
We can customise your unitized curtain walls in a number of ways to meet your requirements.
