Curtain Wall Product Categories

Captured Curtain Wall
Captured curtain walls use either a glazing bead or screw applied pressure plate—with snap-on face cap—to “trap” the infill in the glass pocket. They may be either dry glazed or wet glazed.

Structurally Glazed
Structurally glazed curtain walls use structural silicone or structural glazing tape instead of glazing bead or pressure plate, either on 2 sides or all 4 sides for a seamless look.

Unitized Curtain Wall
Unitized curtain walls are pre-glazed, pre-sealed and pre-assembled in “units”—comprising one lite of glass with surrounding interlocking framing—that are then taken to the field and installed one by one onto the building structure. The bulk of labor moves from the field to the shop floor, where greater quality control can be achieved.

Veneer
A veneer curtain wall features low-profile framing members that are attached directly to a building’s existing structural substrate, such as a steel grid.
