Curtain Wall Insulation

Curtain wall insulation improves the thermal, acoustic and fire performance of specially constructed external facades.

Curtain walls are aesthetically pleasing, cost-effective constructions that can improve thermal regulation when properly designed and installed[1].

 

Often built from a thin, lightweight metal frame, with in-fills of glass, metal panels, or thin stone, this type of non-structural façade adds a visually striking frontage to buildings –

while also protecting them against adverse weather conditions.

 

Curtain wall insulation can be installed in these systems to improve the fire safety, soundproofing and energy efficiency of the structure.

Why do we need insulation in curtain wall systems?

Curtain wall systems adds an extra layer to a construction, which can introduce some thermal benefits and create a more comfortable internal environment.

 

When glass panels are used, they let in more natural light to a building. However, this can lead to negative thermal impacts from solar radiation[1].

 

In addition, the use of glass panels and metal frames in curtain wall systems can lead to increased heat transfer and a greater fire risk if not properly insulated.

 

Our quality stone wool curtain wall insulation reduces and corrects thermal bridges, , and can be applied to new or existing buildings for a safer, more energy-efficient structure.
