Window Walls vs Curtain Walls Differences Explained

Описание: Curious about the differences between window walls and curtain walls? 🏢🔍 In this short video, we shed light on the unique characteristics and applications of these two exterior window types.

📌Window walls are installed floor by floor, supported by slabs above and below, while curtain walls are independent structures that can span multiple stories.

📌Both serve as the building's envelope barrier, but window walls have more windows and less solid wall, allowing for more natural light and exterior views.

📌While neither type supports the building's weight, some curtain walls may include structural elements.

📌Both options offer aesthetic appeal and can be customized, but material choices, maintenance, energy efficiency, and labor requirements vary.

When choosing between them, consider factors like natural light, transparency, and structural considerations. Both curtain walls and window walls have their benefits and will likely continue to improve with new technologies and materials.
