Curtain walling
Glazed façades for offices, schools, showrooms and apartment buildings. Engineered, weathertight and strikingly slim.
Commercial
A wall of glass, properly engineered
Curtain walling is a non-loadbearing glazed façade hung from the structure of a building. Vertical mullions and horizontal transoms form a grid, glass or insulated panels fill it, and pressure plates and caps clamp everything in place. The result spans several storeys with a consistent, slender sightline.
We work with main contractors, architects and building owners on entrances, atria, stair cores and full elevations, from single-storey showroom screens to multi-storey façades.
50mm or 60mm sightlines
A fine, regular grid inside and out.
Thermally efficient
Thermally broken systems with high-performance double or triple glazing.
Weather tested
Drained and ventilated systems designed for exposed sites.
Everything integrated
Doors, opening vents and insulated spandrel panels within one grid.
From drawings to handover
Every façade begins with the structural opening, the wind loads for the site and the performance the specification calls for. We produce fabrication drawings for approval, agree the interfaces with other trades, and programme fabrication around the build.
On site, our installers set out brackets, erect the grid, glaze and cap it, and seal the perimeter, leaving a façade that is watertight and ready for the internal fit-out.
- Solar-control, acoustic and security glazing
- Insulated spandrel and infill panels

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
What is the difference between curtain walling and a shopfront?
A shopfront is a ground-floor screen fixed within one opening. Curtain walling is a façade system that spans between floors or over several storeys and is engineered for wind load, drainage and movement.
Can you work from an architect's specification?
Yes. Send us the drawings and the specification clauses and we will price to them, or suggest an equivalent system where that offers better value or a shorter lead time.
Do you install outside the North West?
Most of our commercial work is in the North West. For larger projects we are happy to discuss locations further afield.
