List of featured suppliers of CURTAIN WALLING Dry Glazing System on Building Products Index
A curtain walling, dry glazing system is a method of constructing a non-structural outer covering of a building. It consists of vertical and horizontal supports, which are connected to the building's structure, but the majority of the weight and lateral forces of the curtain wall are transferred to the building's floor slabs through connections at the floor line. The system utilizes dry glazing to secure the glass panels to the framework, eliminating the need for wet sealants. The assembly of the system is done in modules that are transported to the building site and assembled on site. This method allows for quicker installation, a smaller construction crew, and less disruption to the building's interior.
