Curtain Wall- Importance and Maintenance

You might have noticed a lot of high-rise buildings in the cities these days. These buildings which appear to be alluring and enchanting are not mere buildings that captivate the hearts and make the cities look rich astonishing but they also have various other roles to play too. Apart from working as the structures that serve the purpose of job centres, these buildings are something which serves as power centres too. In most of the cities these days, you might have noticed, that the high-rise buildings are made with the glass curtain walls. These walls serve various purposes such as keeping the building cool, dust free, reduces the overall power consumption rate, etc. But it is also important that you get the curtain wall refurbishment done from time to time. Doing this will help in making the building energy efficient and at the same time also allows the incoming of the broad day light which particularly eliminates the incoming UV radiation but promotes the coming of the sunlight inside.

But, before we talk about what are the uses of getting the curtain walling installed, let’s have a look at what is the history behind the making and the installation of the curtain walling and also, we will discuss about what are the requirements of getting the repairing done from time to time.

The History of Curtain Walling

In order to trace the history of the coming up of the curtain walling systems, you first need to understand the inception of the curtain walling and why in the first place was such a setup desired? So, the story starts with the industrial revolution in the 19th century when the concept of industries and offices came into being. This led to the coming up of the giant office setups and structures which could accommodate huge number of people and get things done collectively in a single place. But, soon with the passage of time, it was realised that these structures started getting converted into giant ovens where a huge number of people had to live in and had no option to get the outside view during the working hours. This also led to depression among the workers and also since a huge number of people had to be accommodated in the same room, it led to huge heating issues as well. Even with the coming up of air conditioners, the problem could not be solved. The curtain walling systems proved to be a boon for the mankind as it is strong, durable, gave access to people to the outer world and at the same time also provided an energy efficient setup which tremendously lowered the overall cost that was incurred due to the continuous running of the air conditioners.

Requirement of Curtain Wall Repairing

Getting the curtain walls repaired is indeed a task as it actually covers the entire building but at the same time, this is also something which cannot be ignored as it is on this that the entire building and its efficiency depends. There are a number of ways to get the repairing done. Firstly, you can either go for a self-examination and look for a good company which provides you with the best deal after the comparisons with the industry standards. Alternatively, you can also go for a certain renowned company and pay them the quoted amount, they will get the repairing done in the fastest way possible and that too onsite. Apart from this, also pay attention to the fact that along with the curtain walls, your architectural steelwork should also be strong and durable. When both these things are durable you will have a strong building which will go on for years and years.

Summing Up

To sum up, the installation of the glass walling systems is incredibly important as it helps in keeping your area safe and secure and also at the same time helps in energy conservation too thereby reducing your overall carbon footprint. The best part is that this set up will provide you with a setup which will help you in securing a sustainable and green future for your upcoming generations.
