Installing curtain walls can protect your buildings from all weather conditions

A curtains wall is ideal for high-rise buildings; it’s an extremely lightweight non-structural cladding. It’s mainly used as an additional exterior covering of the construction. These claddings have to endure the exterior environment; thus, it is very important to assemble it correctly; it is designed to keep in mind all the factors, maintenance is necessary and correct installation. TSSC designs curtain walls keeping in mind the sustainability and functionality factors

 

Curtain walls can protect from extreme weather conditions:

Curtain walls are installed to the construction to protect the interior and exterior from all types of weather conditions. TSSC curtain walls keep away water and air from infiltrating. The walls are also useful in resisting high-speed wind and seismic forces. Do you want to invest in glass curtain walls? These have two essential components: the frame and the Glass. Glass is lighter and can bring in a lot of natural light and give a lot of illuminating effects. The frames are there to support the Glass. You can choose the frames’ material, which includes steel, aluminum, multi-laminate, or any other sturdy material. Various glasses are used like tempered Glass, float glass, laminated Glass, annealed Glass, spandrel glass, chemically treated Glass, and insulated glazing. But sometimes curtain walls also have infills of metal panels or thin stones. Our curtain walls are made of lightweight and high quality, so you do not require much support, and it does not create any considerable pressure on the building walls.          

 

Maintaining your curtain walls:

You should maintain your curtain wall regularly to make sure that appearance remains attractive and your curtain walls can perform adequately. You can use sealant compounds for additional protection, provided you reapply it every 10 years once the construction is complete. It’s crucial to repair any chips, cracks, or damage; this is very important to keep your curtain walls intact. This way, your curtain walls would perform for many more years. 

 

The two types of wall panel systems explained:

The wall panels systems are segregated into two categories based on their installation procedure and fabrication. The two are stick systems and modular systems. In the stick systems, the glazed panels and frames are installed together, one piece after another. In modular systems, the walls are made of bigger units. It is installed and glazed within the factory environment, the shipping is done to the site and implemented on buildings. 

 

The exterior surface of the curtain wall systems is waterproof. Using modular systems, the construction process becomes quicker, and the quality is improved. At TSSC, we transport your curtain walls with care, but the costs are slightly higher because a lot of attention needs to be taken during the process.

Glass curtain walls are very popular – TSSC manufactures the finest cladding systems in the UAE

A curtain wall is non-structural cladding used in high-rise buildings; it’s an exterior covering of the building. The external element of a building includes a window wall, curtain walls, and cladding essentials. Curtain walls are very much exposed to the outer environment, and this is why it’s properly assembled, rightly designed, correctly installed, and maintained, keeping in mind the functionality and sustainability. 

Curtain walls are extremely light-weight, the walls have aluminum frames and have infills of glass, thin stone, and metal panels. TSSC manufactures quality curtain walls to arrest the air and water infiltration. This helps in resisting the impact of seismic forces and the wind. When the glass is used in the form of curtain walls, it proves to be beneficial; there is more daylight inside. Curtain walls are fixed to the construction to safeguard the interior from the exterior weather conditions. Glass curtain walls have two essential components – the glass definitely and the frame. The frame acts as the support which holds the glass; it is composed of aluminum, steel, multi-laminate glass, or other sturdy material. Some common types are float glass, tempered glass, annealed glass, laminated glass, chemically strengthened glass, spandrel glass, and insulated glazing units. 

 

 Wall panel systems are segregated into two basic categories based on their fabrication and installation procedures. The two are: stick systems and modular systems. Talking about stick systems, the glazed panels and wall frames are jointly installed and connected, piece by piece. The exterior surface of a curtain wall is waterproof, so the parts that are left behind remain dry. You can also consider installing a modular system, where the wall is created from bigger units, and the glazing is done inside the factory. We do the shipping on-site and then installed in buildings. These systems offer quick and high-quality construction; the costs of transportation are a little higher. Installers need to be a little more careful and need protection during the installation process.

The main reason why installing a curtain wall is essential is to safeguard the interior of the building against sun exposure, earthquake, wind, rain, and variations in temperature. Glazed curtain walls are used in multi-story buildings, and this gives a lot of energy efficiency. It’s wise to use transparent or heat-reflective glazing to lower the heat loss from windows for more energy efficiency. There is a window glazing that is used for decoration and for allowing more light to come in.  

Some of the advantages of a curtain wall are:

  • Arresting penetration of water
  • Reduction in the release of carbon dioxide
  • Reducing solar levels
  • Stronger resistance to wind

The benefits of curtain walls – -TSSC manufacturing class-part wall panel systems

Curtain walls are structural essentials of construction; it acts as a divider between the interior and exterior setting of the building. It renders structural stability; thus, it plays an active role in load transmission. It transmits a load that is induced by the wind to the fundamental structure. 

 

Types of curtain walls:

There are two types of curtain walls

Stick wall systems:

In this system, the fundamentals are installed piece by piece on the building structure. This wall system is popularly used for low-rise buildings. This system has a lot of flexibility and allows much space for onsite alterations. 

Unitized wall systems:

In this kind of system, the parts are pre-assembled inside the manufacturing unit. The size of the walls is directly proportional to the floor size and height. These systems are used in high rises and do not require external supports. During transportation, these wall systems need better and more extensive protection; thus, the shipping charges are higher. 

Advantages of curtain walls:

Curtain walls are common wall panel structures that are very commonly used in modern buildings. These can be made of glass, stone, or metal and have a whole lot of advantages. Take a look:

Keeping water and air out:

 These wall panel systems are efficient in preventing air and water infiltration, acting as insulators, and a buffer. The construction that uses curtain walls would be easier to maintain and will have more longevity due to the extra protective shield. 

Thermal efficiency:

Curtain walls enhance the thermal efficiency of construction when it is rightly glazed and treated. These panels can stabilize the inside temperature cutting down the operational costs of the construction. The extra glazing can reduce the UV rays, and this prevents the buildings from degrading. 

Fire resistivity:

Curtain walls are fire-resistant, these panels can slow down the spread of fire. It acts as a barrier and helps them to control the fire so that the fire is not spread across the building surface. 

A curtain wall looks sophisticated, clean, and has a unique appearance. These panels reflect contemporary design and are now used very popularly. 

Reduces the sway of a building: 

A curtain wall is not installed to render structural ability, but its effective in reducing the building’s sway. This gives more stability to the structure; the curtain wall can even pressure the architecture by emitting the kinetic force. This technology is beneficial for taller buildings. 

Final words:

The expense of a curtain wall installation depends on the kind of curtain wall you choose. We design the most useful, modern, and very affordable curtain wall systems. At TSSC, we are the experts in offering high-quality insulated wall systems in UAE. Our products are known for faster and easier installation.
