Curtain walls (details)

Il Curtain Wall It is an external infill system that allows the creation of self-supporting continuous facades.

The Curtain Wall construction system It was born thanks to the use of frame structures in the second half of the 800th century and then developed at the beginning of the 1900th century. Thanks to the use of materials such as steel and reinforced concrete, it has become a technology that has characterized the most famous contemporary buildings, especially in the construction of office towers.

The success of the Curtain Wall is mainly due to the use of prefabrication, developed in the first twenty years of the 1900s, a construction methodology known and used by illustrious names such as Groupius e Mies van der Rohe. The Curtain Wall was subsequently perfected, studied and explored in depth in the United States, giving rise to important projects in New York City. Among these are the Lever House by Skidmore, Owings and Merril and, perhaps the best known, the Seagram Building by Mies van der Rohe.

In essence the Curtain Wall is a external buffer system which allows the creation of self-supporting continuous facades. Normally the most used material is glass, which is attached to a structure made of metal mullions and crosspieces, which are in turn fixed to the underlying structure.
