Curtain wall, also called glass facade or glass envelope, refers to the non-structural outer covering of buildings that are created to keep the weather forces out. They are composed of lightweight material, which includes aluminum frames with glass and metal panels.
The use of glass in curtain walls helps in deeper penetration of light within the building and creation of a pleasant architectural design. The modern day curtain walls use glass as an exterior facade and offer an advantage of rapid on-site assembly, which significantly reduces construction cost. Besides looking exquisite, glass curtain walls offer protection against wind, water, and other environmental forces that may otherwise spoil the decor of the building.
Glass work engineers at Northern Glass are experienced in restricting light in varying proportions and adding colors to the neutral appearance glass products while retaining their natural look.
