A curtain wall is a structure in a house or commercial building that is constructed from an aluminium frame and glazed.

It allows large expanses of space to be glazed, which is very sought-after in contemporary houses which are made up of more glass than bricks on some elevations.

Yes, curtain walling used to be just reserved for commercial buildings, but is now increasingly seen in the domestic glazing sector.

Thanks to home design TV programmes such as Channel Four’s Grand Designs, curtain walling has risen dramatically in popularity as self-builders are drawn to its ability to provide floor-to-ceiling glazing for modern homes.

Curtain walling is perfect for larger, contemporary properties, where architects want to create a real show-stopping design incorporating large expanses of glass over one or more floors.

Yes, curtain walls are safe as they are attached to the building’s exterior and are non-load bearing so do not put any extra pressure on a building’s structure.

Curtain walls are weather resistant so make a strong and secure option for weather-proofing a building, and they are also highly thermal efficient.

EYG’s curtain walling has A-rated glass as standard.

Only experienced and trusted installers should be used for installing curtain walling as it is not the easiest installation – however, EYG teams have been installing curtain walling on our commercial projects for many years, making us safe, reliable and trusted tradesmen for this specialist work.
