Glass curtain walls have become a signature element in modern commercial architecture—and for good reason. These expansive glass systems offer sleek aesthetics, increased natural light, and strong environmental performance, all without bearing the structural load of the building.
At Hale Glass, we specialize in delivering expertly engineered curtain wall systems that balance design vision with practical performance.
What Is a Glass Curtain Wall?
A curtain wall is a non-load-bearing exterior wall system, typically made of aluminum framing and glass panels, that hangs from the building's structural frame. Designed to keep out the elements while maximizing transparency, curtain walls are commonly used on multi-story buildings to create a clean, modern appearance.
Why Curtain Walls?
Natural Light & Design Impact Curtain walls transform a building’s look while flooding interiors with daylight—improving occupant well-being and reducing the need for artificial lighting.
Energy Efficiency Modern glass technologies like Low-E coatings and dual-pane systems reduce solar heat gain and support compliance with California’s Title 24 standards.
Weather Protection Properly installed curtain walls resist water, air infiltration, and wind loads, contributing to overall building durability and comfort.
