Curtain wall systems are engineering structures that form the outer shell of buildings. They resist wind and seismic forces without transferring structural loads to the building.
Silicone Curtain Wall
In silicone curtain walls, glass panels are bonded to the aluminium frame with structural silicone. From the outside, only the glass surface is visible; aluminium profiles are concealed.
Advantages: - Seamless glass appearance - Modern and minimalist aesthetics - High light transmittance
Capped Curtain Wall
In this system, glass panels are mechanically fastened with aluminium cap profiles. Cap profiles are visible from the outside and can be used as a design element.
Advantages: - Easy maintenance and glass replacement - Mechanical security - Various cap profile options
Sunshade Integration
Sunshades can be integrated into both systems. Horizontal or vertical aluminium louvres control sunlight, preventing excessive indoor heating and reducing energy consumption.
Choosing the Right System
Project location, building height, wind loads and aesthetic expectations are decisive factors in system selection. ICS Alüminyum's technical team offers project-specific wind load calculations and detailed design services.
