Curtain Walling

With 20 years experience, Alumet is at the forefront of the curtain walling industry.

Curtain walling allows masses of light to enter a building, creating a bright and uplifting environment.

The large choice of glazing available allows for a range of tint options as well as a range of which colour spectrum can enter the building.

As large panes of glass can often seem invisible, health & safety issues can be dealt with by the inclusion of silk-screen sections to provide prominent visible areas.

In order to enhance the exterior appearance of a building, spandrels can be coloured in order to harmonise with the glazing. This creates a consistent appearance across the envelope of the building.

Energy consumption can be minimised with the use of high-performance solar-control glazing, allowing the building to be kept cool in the summer, whilst minimising heat loss during the winter.

The flexible design can be tailored to incorporate exterior solar shading systems which complement the glass and prevent solar glare during the summer months.
