Glass facades (curtain wall)
For modern buildings the facade is both image and performance. We work with architects and builders to turn the design into a buildable system.
What’s included
- Insulated aluminium structure
- Double, thermal, solar-control (stop-sol) and laminated glass
- Dimensions and divisions per the architect’s design
- Custom RAL colours
- Weather resistance and sound insulation; values per the system documentation
- For residential, commercial and retail buildings
Best for
- Office buildings and shopping centres
- Glazed entrances and facades on residential buildings
- Projects with an architect and technical specification
How a facade project runs
A curtain wall facade starts with the architect’s design. We help with system selection, technical sheets and documentation (DoP, CE), colour samples and visualisations. After on-site measurement a specification sheet is prepared and approved before production; then come manufacturing, delivery, installation and final inspection.
Glass is chosen by function: thermal, solar-control (stop-sol) or laminated. See what to know before the project and laminated or tempered.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work to the architect’s design?
Yes. Facades are fabricated to the project, and we provide technical sheets and system documentation for specification.
Which glass is used in facades?
Per the project: thermal double glazing, solar-control glass or laminated glass.
Do you provide documentation for architects?
Yes. We provide technical sheets, the Declaration of Performance (DoP), the manufacturer’s CE marking, colour samples and visualisations for specification.
How does specification approval work?
After on-site measurement a specification sheet is prepared and production starts only once you approve it.
