The Undeniable Advantages of Curtain Walls
Curtain walls have gained a very solid reputation in the commercial construction industry. These efficient, lightweight exterior walls enable bolder design and broader architectural possibilities. But they offer even more advantages, in particular:
- Curtain walls maximize the amount of natural light in a building. And with abundant natural light comes a better quality of life for occupants!
- They also optimize a building’s interior space, adding 10 to 30 cm of additional area compared to conventional walls.
- They are more durable than many other façade coverings. When well maintained, they can last for 50 years or more.
- They offer increasingly good protection against air and water infiltration.
- They are lighter than conventional walls, only weighing 20 to 30% of traditional construction weight. For this reason, architectural designs can be more flexible and creative.
To enjoy all of these benefits, a prefabricated curtain wall is the best choice. Epsylon is an expert on the topic, and can help you bring your vision to life.
