Curtain Walling London
Are you planning a construction or renovation project? Consider curtain walling to add contemporary flair to your building. This approach creates a box of glass and light that prioritises facade aesthetics. Modern aluminium-glass systems offer thermal bridges, insulating glazing, and ventilation improvements.
Window Maintenance specialises in glass solutions, providing cutting-edge, innovative and sustainable technical solutions with architectural flexibility while meeting regulatory standards.
Glass Curtain Wall Systems
Curtain walling in London enables architects to design glass facades with nearly invisible structural elements. Glazing is secured with pressure plates for maximum transparency, creating panoramic interior views.
Glass curtain wall systems function as lightweight facade walls that enclose but don’t support buildings. Key characteristics include:
- Fixed to the external supporting structure
- Transmit weight and wind pressure through fasteners
- Connected elements create continuous surfaces
Unlike facade panels filling frame voids, these systems hide the framework entirely from the facade composition.
Despite being non-load-bearing, these facades must provide:
- Thermal insulation
- Vapour barrier control
- Acoustic isolation
- Fire resistance
- Resistance to climate, chemicals, vibrations, and impacts
Window Maintenance addresses common issues including misting in double-glazed units, broken glass, faded or discoloured panels, and perished gaskets causing leaks.
