What Is Aluminium Curtain Walling and How Does It Work?
Aluminium curtain walling is a non-structural cladding system designed to protect buildings from external factors like wind and rain while enhancing energy efficiency and aesthetics.
It consists of aluminium frames that hold glass or other infill materials, creating a sleek, modern façade.
Our aluminium curtain wall system works by anchoring the aluminium framework to the primary structure of the building, at floor slabs, ensuring a secure fit and a weather-resistant envelope.
What Are the Benefits of Aluminium Curtain Walling?
Aluminium curtain walling offers several advantages that improve building performance, reduce maintenance, and provide a long-lasting modern appearance.
Key benefits include:
Durability: Aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring the façade maintains its integrity for decades.
Energy Efficiency: Thermal breaks and advanced glazing options reduce heat transfer, improving insulation and cutting energy costs.
Natural Light Maximisation: Extensive use of glass panels allows more natural light into the building, enhancing the interior environment.
Design Flexibility: Available in various finishes, colours, and configurations, giving architects creative freedom.
Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep compared to traditional cladding systems.
Improved Acoustic Performance: Reduces external noise, creating a more comfortable indoor space.
How Much Does Aluminium Curtain Walling Cost?
The cost of aluminium curtain walling ranges from £400 to £1,200 per square metre, including design, materials, and installation.
The cost of aluminium curtain walling depends on several factors, including the size of the project, design complexity, and the type of glazing or infill materials used.
Custom features, high-performance glazing, and special finishes may increase the overall cost.
We offer tailored quotes to meet your specific project requirements and budget.
Is Aluminium Curtain Walling Suitable for My Building?
Aluminium curtain walling is suitable for a wide range of buildings, including commercial offices, residential complexes, retail outlets, and educational institutions.
It is particularly effective for medium to high-rise buildings due to its lightweight construction and ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Whether you are constructing a new building or renovating an existing one, curtain wall systems can be tailored to meet your architectural and performance requirements.
How Energy Efficient Is Aluminium Curtain Walling?
Modern aluminium curtain walling is designed with energy efficiency in mind.
Double or triple-glazed glass curtain walls and thermal breaks help reduce heat loss while preventing solar heat gain, keeping indoor temperatures stable year-round.
Additionally, low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings on glass further enhance insulation.
These features result in lower heating and cooling costs, making aluminium curtain walling an environmentally responsible choice.
What Customisation Options Are Available?
We offer a wide range of customisation options for aluminium curtain walling, ensuring that every project reflects the client’s vision.
Infill options include clear, tinted, or frosted glass, as well as metal or stone panels.
Finishing options range from anodised aluminium to powder coatings in various colours and textures.
Additional features such as integrated ventilation systems, solar shading, and decorative elements can be incorporated to further enhance the design and performance.
How Long Does It Take to Design and Install Aluminium Curtain Walling?
The curtain wall design phase takes 4–8 weeks, including consultation, planning, and approval of custom specifications.
Manufacturing and installation can take an additional 8–16 weeks.
The timeline for designing and installing aluminium curtain walling varies depending on the size and complexity of the project.
For smaller projects or prefabricated systems, installation times can be shorter.
We work closely with our clients to provide accurate timelines and ensure seamless project delivery.
What Maintenance Is Required for Aluminium Curtain Walling?
Aluminium curtain walling is low-maintenance, requiring only periodic cleaning and inspection to ensure long-term performance.
Regular cleaning of glass and aluminium surfaces prevents the buildup of dirt and debris, while annual inspections help identify and address any issues with seals or drainage systems.
Occasional re-sealing or gasket replacement may be necessary to maintain weatherproofing and thermal performance.
If you do notice any issues, please make sure to get your curtain walls repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Is Aluminium Curtain Walling Weatherproof and Secure?
Aluminium curtain walling is both weatherproof and secure.
The system is engineered to provide excellent protection against wind, rain, and extreme temperatures.
Weatherproof seals and gaskets prevent water infiltration, while integrated drainage channels ensure moisture is safely directed away from the building.
Security features can also be added, such as laminated safety glass and reinforced frames, to provide enhanced protection against forced entry.
