Curtain wall system
A curtain wall system is an outer covering for a building's structure, mainly used in modern architecture. It is made of lightweight materials like glass, aluminum, or metal panels and is designed to resist weather, heat, and noise. The system is mounted onto the building's frame, creating a protective barrier that doesn't bear the building's load. It allows for large windows and sleek designs, providing natural light and aesthetic appeal. Curtain walls improve energy efficiency and can include features like insulation and shading, contributing both to a building’s functionality and visual impact.
