High-Performance Glass Curtain Wall Solutions
Empowering modern architectural aesthetics and superior energy performance for high-rise building facades worldwide.
Backed by advanced architectural glass processing, ArchiVitro delivers structurally precise, CE and SGCC certified structural glass curtain walls designed to elevate commercial building safety and design.
Architect-Grade Glass Curtain Walls: System Overview & Classification
Glass curtain walls form the non-load-bearing outer envelope of modern buildings, engineered to resist wind and seismic forces while maximizing natural daylight. At Archivitro, we process high-quality facade glass that seamlessly blends architectural vision with uncompromising safety across our glass products portfolio.
From towering commercial skyscrapers to luxury residential complexes, our curtain wall glass solutions provide exceptional thermal insulation, acoustic control, and weather resistance for global construction projects, often integrating specialized insulating glass units in high-performance facades.
Curtain Wall Glass Types
- Structural Glazing: Utilizes high-strength structural sealants to bond glass panels directly to the framing, creating a sleek, fully flush, and frameless exterior aesthetic with compatible tempered glass options.
- Stick-Built Systems: Traditional facade systems assembled on-site piece by piece. They offer high design flexibility for intricate elevations and localized customization.
- Unitized Curtain Wall Systems: Comprised of large, factory-assembled glass panels. They allow for rapid, scalable installation and strict quality control on high-rise projects.
