Curtain Walls
The Solar Innova modules of photovoltaic integration technology used in the BIPV installations are multifunctional. That is, in addition to generating electricity, they also meet all the requirements
Curtain wall systems are non-structural cladding systems for the external walls of buildings. Unlike traditional wall constructions where the wall supports loads from the roof and floors, curtain walls are designed primarily to protect against the elements and manage interior environments.
Unitized curtain wall systems, assembled and glazed in the shop environment, offer the advantage of faster installation, improved product quality and lower installation costs. Kawneer's curtain wall systems are engineered to meet the highest standards of performance, design and sustainability.
Curtain wall systems are typically supported using a combination of anchoring mechanisms and framing. They are non-structural cladding systems, and their weight is carried by the building's structural framework.
They are non-structural cladding systems, and their weight is carried by the building's structural framework. Curtain walls are attached to the building's structure through anchoring brackets and are often designed with aluminum mullions to form a grid for glazing panels.
