List of featured suppliers of CURTAIN WALLING Insulated Glazing Systems on Building Products Index
Curtain walling, insulated glazing systems refer to a type of cladding system used in the construction and building industry. It typically consists of lightweight aluminum frames and glass panels that are assembled on site. The term "curtain wall" describes the approach where the cladding system is hung like a curtain on the building's structural frame, rather than being part of the structure itself. "Insulated glazing systems" are designed to provide thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer through the building envelope. This term usually refers to a system that consists of two or more glass panes with an air gap in between, which is then sealed to create a vacuum. The combination of curtain walling and insulated glazing systems is common in modern architecture, providing both aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency.
