They must not only be aesthetically appealing but also must meet the highest standards in strength, stability and performance. A curtain wall is a non-load bearing façade system hence it will be subjected to forces such as wind pressure, thermal stress, seismic loads and its own dead weight. This is precisely the reason why accurate and professional structural analysis is necessary for the safety and durability that last in the long run.

Why Structural Calculations Are Essential

Structural calculations provide information to engineers which they use to decide the correct dimensions, material thickness, and the strength of the connection for every curtain wall component - be it mullions, transoms, anchors or glazing panels. Our experts employ advanced modeling tools to carry out the performance of the structure with respect to deflection, stress distribution and load transfer in conformity to the international codes such as ASTM and AAMA standards.

As we incorporate the curtain wall structural design services, we contribute to lowering the chances of project failure, promoting energy effectiveness, and achieving the goal that the performance of each façade is consistent regardless of the change in environmental factors.
