Curtain walling is a critical element in modern construction. It defines the appearance of a building while protecting against the elements, supporting energy performance targets and, above all, keeping people safe.
At Advanced Glass, we specialise in curtain walling systems for main contractors who need more than a façade installer. We are a technical partner who helps you reduce risk, achieve compliance, and deliver projects on time and within budget.
Curtain walling is a lightweight, non-structural glazing system securely fixed to a building’s frame. Unlike load-bearing walls, curtain walls act as a protective envelope, shielding the structure from the external environment. Typically manufactured from aluminium and glass, these systems integrate advanced thermal, acoustic and fire performance features to meet today’s demanding building regulations.
Building regulations and British Standards are constantly evolving, often with contradictory requirements. We support your design and pre-construction teams with early-stage technical input to ensure façades are compliant with Approved Document B, Part L, acoustic standards, and security requirements such as PAS24. Our proactive design coordination reduces late-stage redesigns and protects your programme.
Curtain walling packages are often critical path activities. Delays in procurement or installation can jeopardise handover dates. Our proven project management process, combined with precision manufacturing and experienced installation teams, ensures delivery is kept on track.
From wind and deflection criteria to fire-stopping and acoustic performance, curtain walls carry hidden risks that impact both cost and liability. We remove that uncertainty by working closely with design managers, QSs, and project directors to evidence compliance and provide value engineering where required.
With low-carbon aluminium options, recycled content, and high-performance glazing systems, we help main contractors meet ESG and planning requirements without additional cost or complexity. By reducing energy demand and improving occupant comfort, curtain walls contribute directly to the long-term value of your project.
At Advanced Glass, we deliver a comprehensive suite of façade and glazing solutions to suit a variety of project requirements:
