Glass curtain walls

Glass curtain walls are exterior building facades made primarily of large glass panels supported by a lightweight frame, typically metal. They act as a protective outer layer, shield-ing the building from weather while allowing natural light to flood the interior. These walls are not structural; instead, they hang from the building structure, enhancing aesthetics and energy efficiency. Commonly used in modern skyscrapers and commercial buildings, glass curtain walls provide a sleek appearance, optimize daylight, and can improve insulation when designed with energy-efficient glass.
