Glass Curtain Wall

A glass curtain wall functions as an exterior façade, blending glass and aluminium components to create a non-structural envelope for buildings. It attaches to a building's structural frames, not supporting floor or roof loads. 

The design allows for a striking and captivating appearance. They also provide extensive views and plenty of natural illumination.

Every glass curtain wall depends on a strong supportive structure.TECHNAL’s aluminium glass facade is the perfect option. The strength of aluminium supports vast glass panes, yet the thin frames that create a contemporary aesthetic. This dissolves the distinction between interior and exterior spaces.

TECHNAL uses its aluminium façade expertise to create glass curtain walls. They also provide high-performance envelopes and delivers comfort and energy efficiency while staying stylish for all project types.

Key benefits of glass curtain wall 

Curtain walls have revolutionised building design for residential properties, such as villas and apartments. As the architect’s choice for creating iconic structures that stand out, they boost many features:

• They instantly elevate the visual impact of any building.

• Interior spaces benefit from brighter, more inviting atmospheres as maximum natural light can pass through the large panels.

• Customisable designs adapt to any project’s vision. From minimalist homes to elegant villas, glass curtain walls can fit any aesthetic.

Let’s look deeper at the advantages of TECHNAL’s curtain wall glass solutions.

Built for safety, strength, and durability

Safety is always the priority in glass curtain wall design. TECHNAL uses high-grade laminated or tempered safety glass. Each is engineered to resist impact, shattering, and harsh weather. The glass serve as essential protective measures against breakage, keeping your home and loved ones secure.

Meanwhile, the aluminium framework ensures:

• Rigidity for high-rise and exposed buildings.

• Corrosion and weather resistance for enduring performance.

• Reliable support in challenging climates and seismic zones.

This combination makes TECHNAL glass curtain windows ideal for everything from apartments to luxury homes.

Versatile and fully customisable

TECHNAL creates glass curtain walls which adapt to every project requirement. They are fully flexible to match your creative vision.   

• Frame colours From subtle neutrals that blend seamlessly into the architecture to bold metallics that stand out, frame colours set the tone of your façade. They allow you to create discreet harmony or make a confident design statement. Choose from the more than 60 shades of finishes to find the perfect match for your style. 

• Glass options Clear panes maximise transparency and light, reflective surfaces play with brightness and views, and solar-control or privacy glass brings comfort and discretion. Each finish changes how the façade interacts with its environment.

• Opening elements Integrated windows and vents offer natural ventilation and flexibility. These elements connect perfectly with other architectural features such as our SOLEAL doors or AMBIAL sliding doors, ensuring consistency and comfort across the home.

• Choice of product The TECHNAL TENTAL system provides versatility and performance, while the Minimal line offers ultraslim profiles for pure, understated aesthetics. Both solutions give you the freedom to align design with functionality.

Play with subtle contrasts or bold statements, match the tones of your architecture or introduce striking accents, and experiment with light, reflections, and transparency. No matter your style, TECHNAL delivers glass curtain walls that set your building apart.

A sustainable solution

Sustainability is at the core of every TECHNAL product. Aluminium stands out as one of the most environmentally friendly building materials.  

Choosing TECHNAL aluminium solutions for your home is the greener choice as:

• At least 75% recycled aluminium is used in production, supporting the circular economy. This recycling process of existing aluminium helps decrease waste while minimizing energy consumption and supports a circular economy that extends material use beyond disposal. The continuous circulation of valuable resources remains active while environmental impact decreases through this approach.

• 95% of aluminium is recyclable, The recycling process of aluminium allows nearly all of it to be collected and melted while maintaining its original quality because the recycling process of aluminium does not cause any degradation. The recycling process reduces the demand for fresh raw materials while protecting natural resources.

• Energy-efficient glazing: Advanced glazing technology improves drastically insulation, witches leads to cooler homes during summer and hotter ones in winter. This greatly reduces energy costs for both cooling and heating units while improving overall comfort in the house. Ultimately, this leads to consequential savings overtime and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. 

• Revolutionary low-carbon production : The manufacturing process at TECHNAL includes multiple stages which reduce carbon emissions throughout the entire production cycle from material acquisition to finished product delivery. Our production methods that use renewable energy and advanced technologies result in lower environmental impact for each curtain wall system than traditional systems do.

• Long lifecycle: Aluminium curtain walls are resistant to corrosion as well as extreme weather conditions and wear. The extended lifespan of this material reduces replacement needs and maintenance requirements and waste generation throughout its operational period. The extended service life of this product underlines the sustainability benefits. 

Ultraslim frames for uninterrupted views

 TECHNALs glass curtain walls are supported by aluminium ultraslim frames. This means:

• Maximised glass area for panoramic, floor-to-ceiling views

• Slim sight lines that barely interrupt the landscape

• Both framed and frameless options to suit your taste

• Minimalist aesthetics that highlight the purity of the architecture

For spaces where natural light, connection to the outdoors, and visual impact matter, there’s no substitute for a glass curtain wall window from TECHNAL.

Choosing the right glass curtain wall

Choosing the most suitable glass curtain facade or wall for your home may require some consideration. Think about the following in your selection process:

• Location: Does your building face exposure to strong winds, coastal air and intense sunlight?

• Style: Do you prefer bold frames, or an ultra-minimal look? Would framed or frameless glass suit your project better?

• Pairing with other products: Match your curtain wall to other joinery solutions on your home. TECHNAL offers a wide range of windows, doors, and sliding doors that can all be tailored to your home's design. For example, our GYPSE glass ballustrades and our ARTLINE sliding doors pair beautifully together.

How much does a glass curtain wall cost?

The total expense for glass curtain wall construction depends on specific project requirements. The main factors are the project's overall size and its features. 

Size

The installation of larger glass and aluminium features can be complex. Large units demand extra planning, heavy lifting equipment and precise alignment compared to standard window or door installations. 

The heavy weight of these components requires specialised fixing, cranes or suction lifters and a bigger team of installers to work on-site. These installations lead to increased material costs and installation expenses compared to standard openings. 

Shapes, integrated opening elements and specialised frame finishes affect the total cost. The final price of a project depends on design complexity.

Glass Type

Your investment will increase based on the glass type you choose. Features include:

• Laminated: safety glass made by bonding two or more layers of glass together with an interlayer.

• Tempered: heat-treated glass that’s much stronger than standard glass and designed to break into small, blunt pieces for safety.

• Solar-control: a coated glass that limits heat and glare from the sun while allowing natural light in.

• Acoustic options: noise-reducing glass with sound-dampening layers to improve indoor comfort, necessary in busy urban environments.

• Performance standards: High-efficiency glazing designed to improve insulation and reduce energy consumption.

• Weather resistance: Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, protecting against wind, rain, UV-rays and temperature changes.

• Extra impact protection: Reinforced glass, offering enhanced strength against accidental impacts or attempted break-ins.

The final quote will be determined by your selection of finishes and accessories. This includes special colours and finishes.

How are glass curtain walls installed? 

The building’s structural frame supports the curtain wall system via specially designed aluminium framing. The installation of a glass curtain wall system is complex and is a precise process, beginning with the secure attachment of aluminium framing to the building's primary structure. 

Once the framework is in place, individual glass panels, often large and heavy, are carefully hoisted and meticulously secured into the grid. A critical step involves the application of high-performance sealants to all joint
