a curtain wall system is thin and lightweight, usually aluminum and glass. These walls are not structural, and by design, they are only able to carry their own weight, while transferring the load of wind and gravity to the structure of the building. The design makes it air and water resistant, to ensure that the interior of the building remains airtight.
Curtain Walls Systems
Curtain walls are available in three main systems: • face-sealed Face-sealed walls depend on perfect sealing between units of the wall and frame • water-managedWater-managed systems include moisture drains to prevent the intrusion of water in the building. However,neither face-sealed or water-managed systems create an air barrier. • pressure-equalized The pressure-equalized system blocks all forces while keeping thebuilding’s interior air-tight. The outside framing is designed to wash away water and prevent penetration. This is the strongest system, which provides a reliable resistance to air and water.
