Not Just For Commercial Buildings.
Curtain walling allows us to create large glazed elevations that conventional windows simply can’t achieve.
Double-height glazing, dramatic glazed gables, floor-to-ceiling glass or an entire elevation overlooking the garden.
It may be a system traditionally associated with commercial buildings, but used properly, aluminium curtain walling can look exceptional in a contemporary home.
Big Glass. Surprisingly Little Frame.
Modern curtain walling systems allow very large areas of glass to be divided by remarkably slim aluminium framing.
On selected systems, visible aluminium sightlines can be as little as:
35mm
That gives us the freedom to create impressive glazed elevations without the heavy framing people often associate with curtain walling. (Schüco)
Depending on the design, options can include:
- Floor-to-ceiling glazing.
- Double-height glazed elevations.
- Glazed gables.
- Large fixed glass panels.
- Slim aluminium framing.
- Glass-to-glass corner options.
- Double or triple glazing.
- Opening windows incorporated into the elevation.
- A huge choice of colours and finishes.
Designed Around Your Home
There isn’t a standard size or layout for domestic curtain walling.
The aluminium framework and glass are designed around the building, allowing us to work with anything from a relatively small feature elevation to large areas of architectural glazing.
Because we work with different curtain walling systems, we can choose the solution that best suits the design, performance requirements and budget of the project.
Big Glass Needs Proper Planning
Large areas of glass need thinking about properly.
Structure, glass specification, solar gain, access and installation can all influence the final design.
A large south or west-facing glazed elevation, for example, may benefit from solar-control glass to help manage heat entering the building.
These aren’t reasons to avoid big glass. They’re simply things worth getting right early.
For domestic curtain walling we usually specify Schüco systems.
