FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A glass facade refers to the exterior glass face of a building, which can be constructed using various systems, including curtain walls. A curtain wall is a specific type of non-load-bearing facade system that hangs like a “curtain” from the building’s structural frame. It is designed to resist air and water infiltration, withstand wind loads, and support its own weight.

What are the different types of curtain wall systems?

The main types of curtain wall systems include:

    • Stick-Built Systems: Assembled piece by piece on-site, offering flexibility in design but requiring more installation time.
    • Unitised Systems: Prefabricated panels assembled off-site and installed as units, allowing for faster construction and improved quality control.
    • Semi-Unitized Systems: Combine elements of both stick-built and unitized systems, with partial assembly occurring off-site.
    • Structural Glazing Systems: Use adhesives to attach glass to the structural frame, providing a seamless appearance without visible mullions.

Common types of glass used in curtain wall systems include:

  • Tempered Glass: Also known as toughened glass, it undergoes thermal or chemical treatment to increase its strength and resistance to breakage.
  • Laminated Glass: Consists of two or more layers of glass bonded with an interlayer, providing enhanced safety and sound insulation.
  • Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): Comprise two or more glass panes separated by a spacer and sealed, offering improved thermal performance.

Benefits include:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Provide a modern and sleek appearance to buildings.
  • Natural Light: Allow abundant daylight, enhancing interior environments.
  • Energy Efficiency: When combined with appropriate glazing, they can improve thermal performance.
  • Flexibility: Offer design versatility for various architectural styles.
  • Protection: Shield the building from external environmental factors like wind and rain.

Glass facades and curtain walls can significantly influence a building’s energy performance. The use of high-performance glazing, such as low-emissivity (low-E) coatings and insulated glass units, can reduce heat transfer, thereby lowering heating and cooling demands. Proper design and material selection are crucial to maximise energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
