How does curtain wall system benefit your building in applications

In the modern society, curtain wall buildings are very popular in large cities across the world. Curtain wall system is a lightweight option for a building envelope, and the structural components can be manufactured from a variety of materials to keep the weight down. For example, a curtain wall system with a hybrid aluminium-timber composite structure can provide the natural beauty of timber internally with the lightweight strength of aluminium.

Curtain walls do provide benefits to the building design even though much of the consideration that goes in to how to build them is aesthetic in nature. By taking into account the material used when building the wall, there can be energy savings due to reduced heating and cooling loads on the building. By using glass or other glazings that use an e-coating, temperature inside the building can be regulated more efficiently by the building. As well, glass curtain walls allow more light in, reducing the need for artificial lighting depending on the placement of the wall. Ensuring that a curtain wall is properly built can reduce air leakage in the building by sealing it well. This in turn improves the thermal performance of the building itself by controlling cool drafts. In addition, the curtain walls of a building are subject to rapid changes in temperature due to the lack of interior air beside them. They thus require a careful choice in insulation to minimize condensation. Some curtain walls use drainage cutters to remove condensation to the exterior.

A curtain wall also helps to soundproof the building, and this function is primarily a byproduct of the glazing choice and the strength of the seals that prevent air leakage. In most cases, your curtain wall system may look fragile, since they’re typically made of glass, but they actually offer a high level of structural stability. They’re designed specifically to span multiple floors and can deal with factors like thermal expansion and contraction, water diversion and building sway and movement effectively. In recent years, aluminium curtain walls are very popular in commercial buildings today because aluminium is lightweight and durable in use. What’s more, aluminium is an extremely cost-effective material, and it doesn’t cost huge amounts to source and can be recycled without any damage to the environment making it extremely durable.
