Description
Blue glass and pyramids pattern on a commercial building façade - curtain walls form the outer shell of a building and stands as a separate shell in front of the actual supporting structure. They usually runs across the floors. Since the wall only supports its own weight and no other static loads from the building, it can be designed as a lightweight structure. The curtain wall is attached or suspended from the building's supporting structure using a substructure. The façade spanning several floors usually has a frame construction made of steel or aluminum profiles, which is largely filled with glass or other flat filling elements.
