Curtain Wall systems or Glass Wall systems are some of the most popular window systems in South Florida. Curtain Wall systems cover the outer walls of many commercial buildings giving them the appearance that they are made of glass. The glass for the system is placed on a Structural Steel Frame to support the façade and then finally sealed. We fabricate and install the necessary steel for these systems. This unique Steel Fabrication system has many benefits such as being made of lightweight materials, reduced construction costs, and also it offers a lot of natural light.

Many Curtain Wall systems are designed to resist air and water infiltration along with reducing the impact of wind and seismic forces acting on the building. They naturally withstand seismic and wind-induced building sway due to the glazing infill and the mullion. Curtain Walls also hold their own load weight force and can span multiple floors. Its many benefits combined with its aesthetic appeal make Curtain Wall systems an ideal choice for many building projects.

Like Ladder systems, Stick Curtain Wall systems have sections that can be fabricated in a shop to reduce installation time.
