What is Curtain Wall ?
A curtain wall is an outer covering of a building that is not load-bearing, typically composed of aluminium framing infilled with glass, metal panels, or stone veneer. Unlike traditional walls, curtain walls are hung on the building structure and designed to resist air, water, seismic, and wind forces.
Curtain wall systems are engineered for:
-
Weatherproofing and insulation
-
Natural daylighting
-
Thermal and acoustic performance
-
Modern architectural design
Their performance depends heavily on proper installation, joint integrity, and sealant maintenance, all of which MGR Restoration specializes in.
Role of Curtain Wall in Construction
-
Prevents Water Infiltration & Damage: Failed joints or glazing can allow water to enter the building envelope, leading to mold, corrosion, or insulation breakdown.
-
Improves Energy Efficiency: Restoring glazing seals and insulation reduces heat transfer and HVAC strain.
-
Extends System Life: Proactive maintenance extends the useful life of curtain wall systems, delaying costly replacements.
-
Code & Safety Compliance: FISP (Local Law 11) inspections often reveal deficiencies in curtain wall systems. Timely repairs ensure safety and compliance.
-
Aesthetic Integrity: Restoring uniformity to glass, framing, and finish enhances the overall look and value of the building.
