Curtain Walling

Façade glazing that meets CWCT — and the programme

Home/Services/Curtain Walling
About this service

Curtain Walling — installed by specialists, not generalists

Curtain walling is a different discipline from shopfront work — it's structural glazing carrying its own dead weight, wind loads and movement allowances, often at height.

Our curtain walling team works almost exclusively on Tier 1 and Tier 2 main contractor sites. We're set up for it: scaffold-trained installers, IPAF-licensed MEWP operators, and a CWCT-literate project manager who speaks the same language as your structural engineer.
