Glazing Temper Glass Curtain Wall
Glass curtain walls are lightweight aluminum-framed facades housing glass or metal panels. These glazing systems don't support the weight of a roof or floor. Instead, gravity loads and wind resistance transfer from the surface to the building's floor line.Window walls are built one floor at a time and are supported by the slabs above and below them. In other words, window walls are built within the slab edge. Curtain walls are structurally independent and don't require support on every floor. They tend to span multiple stories and are built outside the slab edge.
