Insulated glass units (IGUs) are a popular option for glass curtain walls. These units consist of multiple layers of glass panes sandwiching a layer of gas. This design provides superior
PV curtain wall systems consist of semi-transparent PV glass panels for daylighting and views, and fully dark glass “spandrels” used for power
What are the different types of curtain walls? There are 2 main categories of glass curtain wall if we look at their fabrication
Solar control glass reduces heat gain by filtering infrared rays while maintaining high visible light transmission, making it ideal for energy-efficient curtain walls.
PV curtain wall systems consist of semi-transparent PV glass panels for daylighting and views, and fully dark glass “spandrels” used for power generation. This design allows the curtain wall
What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall? Photovoltaic glass offers passive properties such as thermal and acoustic insulation, in
Photovoltaic glass, also known as solar glass, is specially designed to convert sunlight into electricity. When integrated into curtain walls—those large glass facades that
Photovoltaic curtain walls allow buildings to generate energy directly from their façade without compromising aesthetics or functionality. This
The main types of glass used are tempered, laminated, and energy-saving coated glass. Each type has special features to improve how well it keeps heat and stays safe.
