What Is Curtain Walling?

If you are renovating a property and are looking for a way to enhance the amount of natural light that enters your home, curtain walling could be the solution you’re looking for. 

Curtain walling is a term that refers to glazed walls – or sections of walls – in a building. While it has traditionally been associated with commercial properties, more and more homeowners are exploring its use to create sleek, modern homes that let in plenty of light. 

In fact, introducing more daylight into your property is a great way to improve your overall wellbeing. Increased levels of natural light in spaces has also been found to improve productivity and creativity.

How insulating is curtain walling?

An aluminium curtain walling system can be just as well-insulated as more standard windows. Triple glazed panes can be used in curtain walling features, ensuring that your home is thermally insulated as well as insulated from unwanted noise. 

In fact, our triple-glazed aluminium curtain walling system is so thermally efficient that it is even suitable for use in low-energy or passive house properties. 

How do you maintain curtain walling?

It is very simple to keep curtain walling clean and in good condition. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth will ensure your glazing stays clear, while the aluminium frames themselves need very little maintenance. 

We offer a ten-year guarantee on all our curtain walling systems, which demonstrates how confident we are that they will stand the test of time when fitted by one of our experienced aluminium window installers. 

How does ventilation work with curtain walling?

Our curtain walling systems are designed to be versatile, which means our team can work with your architect to ensure that appropriate vents are integrated throughout the glazed sections of your home. 

This will allow you to let fresh air into your home, while maintaining the sleek appearance and security that our aluminium curtain walling systems provide.
