ADVANTAGES OF CURTAIN WALLING THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

People will go to all kinds of measures to make sure that the elements do not enter the building or structure. They will do anything to protect the interior as well as the exterior of the building. Most people use curtain walling to achieve the same.

Curtain wall is something that is designed to protect your building against the effects of bad weather like torrential rain, snow, or hail. It is made of lightweight materials since it does not have to support anything else except itself. It can also be matched with glass to provide a source of lighting, while still protecting the exterior of the building from damages.

In this blog, we are going to discuss the advantages of curtain walling in buildings.

1. Keeps out air and water

The primary purpose of curtain walls is to keep air and water out of the building, acting both as an absorbent and an insulator. Curtain wall acts as an additional shield to the building.

2. Lessens building sway

Curtain wall reduces the overall sway of the building making it more comfortable to the inhabitants. It also evens out any stress on the building by dispersing kinetic force throughout the entire frame and structure.

3. Slows the spread of fire

It acts as a barrier and prevents the easy transfer of fire across the surface of the building, hence reducing the fire spread between the floors.

4. Thermal efficiency

Since curtain wall is another layer of material across the building, it stabilizes the temperature within and cuts down the operating cost of the building. Proper treatment and glazing of curtain walls improve the thermal efficiency of the building.

5. Attractive appearance

Most of the buildings today use curtain walling, not only because of the numerous advantages it poses, but also because of its attractive appearance. A clean, unique, and sophisticated appearance is associated with the contemporary design, and curtain wall never fails to provide so. In most of the areas, the only type of wall that would be seen against the city skyline is curtain wall.
