Curtain Wall Design Company

Curtain Wall Design Company Engineers

Description: Glass curtain walls are emerging in exterior and interior building design.   

So a curtain wall is defined as thin. Usually aluminum-framed wall. Also Containing in-fills of glass, metal panel, or thin stone and the framing is attached to the building structure. And does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building. So the wind and gravity loads of the curtain wall. Are transferred to the building structure. Typically at the floor line. Aluminum framed wall systems date back to the 1930’s, and developed rapidly after World War II when the supply of aluminum became available for non-military use.

So curtain wall systems range from manufacturer’s standard catalog systems to specialized custom walls. Custom walls become cost competitive with standard systems as the wall area increases. This section incorporates comments about standard. And custom systems so it is recommended that consultants be hired. With an expertise in custom curtain wall design for projects that incorporate these systems.
