Dallas Curtain Walls 

A glass curtain wall is an outer covering on a commercial building that is made of aluminum and glass panels. Although they are not structural, glass curtain walls are attractive and functional for increasing protection at an affordable installation cost. The curtain wall offers privacy and creates a comfortable and energy-efficient working environment. 

Glass curtain walls offer advantages for: 

• Aesthetics – Curtain walls have become a staple of commercial design for their clean, modern appearance. Adding a curtain wall can improve the appearance of the building. 
• Creating a buffer for water and air – Curtain walls help keep water and air out of your building. This offers added protection for the building and makes maintenance easier. 
• Improved thermal efficiency – Curtain walls that are constructed with treated and glazed glass can be helpful for reducing UV light and heat. This helps reduce energy costs and improves energy efficiency. 
• Reducing the sway of a building – Building sway is often a concern for taller commercial buildings. This helps reduce stress on the building and creates a more comfortable indoor environment. 
• Slowing fires – In larger and taller buildings, fire spreading from one floor to the next is a significant concern. A glass curtain wall helps to slow the spread of fire, which can reduce damage.

A variety of glass products and glazing types can be used to create curtain walls that are completely customizable to your building. The best type of glass and glazing depends on your primary goals, such as improving energy efficiency, reducing building sway, or stopping the spread of potential fires. Your commercial glass specialists can help you design a curtain wall that best suits your needs.
