Our process

From survey to installation in 4 steps

01

Design consultation

We work with your architect or structural engineer to specify mullion/transom sizing, glazing build-up, opening vents and finishes.

02

Structural calculations

Wind load, dead load and thermal calculations carried out by certified engineers — all documentation supplied for building control.

03

Off-site fabrication

For larger projects we fabricate unitised panels at our facility for crane installation — significantly faster on-site and less weather-dependent.

04

Site installation

CSCS-carded installers, full RAMS, integration with main contractor programme. Most curtain walling installations include cherry-pickers, MEWPs or scaffold access.

FAQs

Curtain Walling questions, answered

Stick-built is assembled on-site mullion-by-mullion (slower but flexible). Unitised is pre-fabricated as full storey-height panels and craned into place (faster, weather-independent, but higher unit cost). We supply both — unitised typically used above 4 storeys.
No — curtain walls hang off the building's structural frame. They support their own dead load plus wind load, but no floor loads. The structural frame is sized accordingly by the project engineer.
Thermally-broken curtain walls with double-glazed Low-E units achieve U-values around 1.4-1.6 W/m²K. Triple glazed systems achieve 0.9-1.2 W/m²K — meeting all current Part L requirements.
Yes — parallel push-outs, top-hung outward-opening, tilt-and-turn and concealed louvre vents all integrate cleanly into curtain wall systems.
We can take design-and-build responsibility (CDP — contractor designed portion) including wind load calcs, thermal performance and weather testing — or work to a fully-detailed architectural spec.
