CURTAIN WALLING
Types Of Glass We Used For Curtain Walling In The UK
Tempered (Toughened) Glass
Glass is widely used in UK curtain walling. And the tempered glass is known as heat-treated for extra strength. But if broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces for safety. It is ideal for high-traffic commercial areas.
Laminated Glass
It is made of two or more sheets of glass with a plastic interlayer. So, even it is cracked, it holds together. However, it is frequently used in residential towers and office buildings to offer UV protection, noise reduction, and security.
Double Glazing (Insulated Glass Units)
Two panes of glass with a sealed space between them that is filled with argon gas or air is called double glazing. It provides thermal insulation and noise control. A popular choice in the UK for energy efficiency.
Triple Glazing
Three glass layers with insulating gaps. However, it offers maximum heat retention and soundproofing, and it is suitable for sustainable or eco-certified buildings.
Low-E (Low Emissivity) Glass
The invisible coating of the low-E glass curtain walling system allows heat to be reflected indoors and allows natural light to enter. It also lowers energy bills and helps buildings in the UK comply with stringent energy regulations.
Tinted Glass
This coloured glass lessens solar heat gain as well as glare. In accordance with building style, it prevents interiors from fading and gives curtain walls a chic, contemporary appearance.
Reflective Glass
This glass has a reflective metallic coating. However, it helps in lowering cooling expenses in the summer and gives a sleek, mirrored appearance.
Acoustic Glass
It is constructed with additional laminations or layers to lessen outside noise. Additionally, it is ideal for homes close to major UK highways, airports, or cities.
Fire-Resistant Glass
The purpose of fire-resistant glass is to withstand extreme heat for a specific amount of time. Nonetheless, in many commercial curtain walling projects throughout the UK, it is necessary for safety compliance.

Types of Curtain Walling Installation in the UK
We install curtain walling in several ways, depending on the size, design, and performance needs of your building. In the UK, our main curtain walling systems include:
Stick System
In stick curtain walling, our workers assemble it piece by piece on-site. It is widely used for custom designs and high-rise buildings. Moreover, it requires more time and skilled labour for installation.
Unitised System
We deliver factory-assembled panels to the site and lift them into place with cranes. Unitised curtain walling is supplied and prepared for installation. It’s perfect for big projects with recurring designs as well.
Structural Glazing
It works like fixed glass without visible frames. It creates a seamless, modern appearance. After that, it is popular for high-end commercial and residential buildings.
Semi-Unitised System
The combination of stick and unitised systems is known as semi-unitised curtain walling. This system’s components, for instance, are assembled on-site, and some are pre-assembled off-site. Moreover, it is a flexible option for projects of moderate scale.
Point-Supported Glazing
We secure glass with bolts at specific points. It offers a minimalist and transparent design. However, it is ideal for modern architectural designs and glass facades requiring high transparency.
