Aluminum Curtain Walls
A curtain wall is defined as thin, usually aluminum-framed wall, containing in-fills of glass, metal panels, or thin stone. The framing is attached to the building structure and does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building. … Custom walls become cost competitive with standard systems as the wall area increases.Curtain wall systems are typically designed with extruded aluminum framing members, although the first curtain walls were made with steel frames.
