Glass Curtain Walls
Glass curtain walls are exterior building systems made primarily of glass and supported by a framework. They are non-structural, meaning they do not bear the weight of the building but instead provide an aesthetic and functional facade. These walls allow natural light to enter the interior while offering a modern appearance.
The use of glass curtain walls enhances energy efficiency by incorporating insulated glass and can improve a building's thermal performance. They are commonly found in commercial buildings, such as skyscrapers, where they create a sleek, contemporary look while maximizing views and light.
