Façades with large glass surfaces have become an indispensable symbol of modern office towers and prestigious residences. Although transparency offers a spacious working and living environment, uncontrolled sunlight and inadequate insulation can significantly increase the cooling and heating costs of buildings. Achieving high performance in structural silicone or pressure-cap curtain wall systems depends on the flawless integration of correctly engineered thermally broken aluminium profiles with double/triple glazing units with Low-E or Solar Low-E coatings. These systems retain indoor heat in winter and keep excessive solar heat out in summer, while also filtering out the noise of heavy city traffic to take indoor comfort to the highest level.
