Glass Façade System

TECHNAL provides high-performance glass façade systems designed for modern architecture in demanding environments. Our façades combine durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance.

With sustainable aluminium, our solutions are perfectly suited to the extreme climates of the Middle East. With proven expertise, TECHNAL supports architects and contractors from concept to completion.

What Is a Glass Façade?

A glass façade is a non-structural exterior system using glass and aluminium framing. It can enhance the building’s protection and aesthetic, while allowing for light and visibility. 

It enhances thermal, acoustic, and aesthetic performance. All the while, creating modern, energy-efficient spaces.

TECHNAL’s aluminium curtain wall systems offers strength, precision, and sleek architectural design.

Glass Curtain Walls

• These are non-structural outer coverings that shield the building from wind and rain while allowing maximum daylight. 

• Curtain walls are available in stick-built or unitized systems. Each option offers design flexibility, rapid installation, and seamless integration across large surfaces.

Structural Glazing

• Structural glazing systems use high-strength adhesives or concealed aluminium framing to secure the glass. They create a sleek, frameless aesthetic. Ideal for contemporary architecture. 

• It maximises natural light while maintaining weather resistance and structural integrity.

TECHNAL’s precision-engineered aluminium profiles provide the strength, stability, and performance. For high-rise and large-span applications, they ensure both safety and long-term durability without compromising maximum visibility and light.

Understanding Glass Facade Systems

A façade system is the interface between the building’s structure and its environment. 

TECHNAL’s façade solutions, such as TENTAL, integrate glazing, aluminium frameworks, and anchorage systems for superior performance.

Each system is digitally supported with BIM files, CAD drawings, and fabrication data to streamline design and installation. For more information, download the TECHNAL brochure.

Key Purposes and Benefits of Glass Façades

Design Flexibility and Architectural Excellence

The TENTAL system offers large glazed panels up to 12.25 m² with multiple aesthetic options: 

• flat caps, 

• vertical or horizontal lines, 

• structural or bead glazing, 

• sloped designs.

This adaptability grants architects full creative freedom.

Performance and Energy Efficiency

Advanced thermal breaks deliver low U-values and high insulation. The system ensures excellent air, water, and wind resistance, maintaining comfort and energy efficiency even in harsh climates.

Sustainability and ESG Compliance

TECHNAL façade frames are made from aluminium that is at least 75% recycled and 95% recyclable at the end of its lifespan. This production support circular construction and green building standards. 

The inherent durability of aluminium reduces maintenance and extends lifespan. This supports long-term environmental and operational performance.

Disadvantages and Considerations of Glass Façades

Glass façades can increase glare, create maintenance challenges, and raise cooling demands.

TECHNAL minimises these issues through:

• Low-porosity aluminium frames

• High-performance coatings

• Advanced thermal breaks

The result is lower energy use, reduced upkeep, and greater durability. This makes them ideal for Middle Eastern environments.

Technical Specifications and Installation Advantages

TECHNAL façade systems comply with regional standards for air, water, and wind resistance across the Middle East. Modular construction ensures quick installation and precision alignment.

Fabricators benefit from MyTechnal and our digital tool platforms, offering digital access to design guides, fabrication drawings, and performance data.

Maintenance, Durability, and Regional Performance

Built for the region’s toughest conditions, TECHNAL façades resist corrosion, heat, UV, sand, and humidity. Durable surface finishes extend service life and reduce cleaning frequency. Low maintenance and high performance deliver measurable lifecycle value and sustainability benefits.
