Curtain wall façades are modern systems used in constructing façades for high-rise and advanced buildings. These systems feature an external aluminum or steel frame that supports glass or other materials to cover the façade. They are highly effective solutions both aesthetically and functionally, offering excellent thermal and sound insulation and enhancing the building’s energy efficiency. Additionally, they enable innovative designs that allow large amounts of natural light to enter buildings, improving visual comfort and reducing the need for artificial lighting.

Engineering Studies

The engineering study of curtain wall façades is a comprehensive process aimed at ensuring the optimal design of the façade in accordance with global engineering standards and the architectural requirements of the project. The study begins with a detailed site analysis, taking into account environmental and climatic factors such as wind, temperature, and humidity, to identify the most suitable materials that will deliver optimal performance for the façade. This process involves selecting the type of materials used in the façade, such as insulated glass or low-emissivity glass, as well as the materials for the external frame, including aluminum or steel. Wind loads and other environmental factors are calculated to determine the thickness of the materials and ensure the structural stability of the system. The metal frame is engineered to provide adequate support for the façade against climatic changes, with a focus on thermal and acoustic insulation to enhance energy efficiency.

Study specifications

The specification study of curtain wall façades, focusing on aluminum profiles and glass, requires a detailed analysis of various engineering factors to ensure optimal façade performance, including thermal insulation, soundproofing, and resistance to environmental loads. Aluminum Profiles: Aluminum profiles are a fundamental component of curtain wall systems. Their selection depends on their strength and ability to withstand various loads such as wind pressure and structural stress, in addition to their corrosion resistance. Profiles are designed with dimensions that suit the weight of the glass or other materials they will support. Structural analysis is used to ensure long-term system stability. Aluminum profiles are often coated with special materials, such as anodized finishes or electrostatic powder coatings, to enhance resistance to weathering. Glass and Thickness: The glass used in curtain wall façades must deliver high performance while meeting the architectural and engineering requirements of the building. Its thickness typically ranges from 6 to 12 mm, considering environmental factors such as wind speed and seismic loads. Glass is selected based on thermal properties, such as heat insulation and soundproofing. Double or triple-glazed glass, consisting of multiple layers separated by a gap or filled with insulating gas, enhances both thermal and acoustic performance. Argon Gas: For double or triple-glazed glass, the gap between the layers is often filled with argon gas to improve thermal insulation. Argon is an inert gas that significantly reduces heat transfer, helping to minimize energy loss. This technique enhances the building's heating and cooling efficiency, making it ideal for areas requiring excellent thermal insulation. Thermal and Acoustic Insulation: The primary goal of using insulating gases like argon is to improve the façade's thermal insulation performance, boosting the building's energy efficiency. Double or triple-glazed glass also provides effective soundproofing, reducing noise transmission from outside to inside. Thus, the design of curtain wall façades involves selecting appropriate aluminum profiles for structural support and double or triple-glazed glass filled with argon gas to ensure optimal thermal and acoustic insulation. This approach enhances occupant comfort and significantly improves the building's energy efficiency.

Export to site

The process of exporting aluminum profiles and glass from the factory to the site involves multiple stages to ensure the delivery of high-quality materials on time. The process begins with selecting the appropriate types of aluminum profiles and glass based on specialized engineering consultations. These materials are then manufactured in dedicated facilities in Turkey or Germany, utilizing advanced techniques to ensure the profiles’ quality and resistance to environmental loads such as wind and climatic factors. Double or triple-glazed glass filled with argon gas is chosen to enhance thermal and acoustic insulation. Both Turkish and German glass are renowned for their superior quality and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Once manufacturing is complete, the aluminum profiles and glass are securely packed into specialized containers to ensure their safe transportation to the site without damage. Reliable shipping companies are selected to guarantee timely delivery. Triple A for Integrated Engineering Consultations coordinates with shipping and customs teams to ensure smooth operations and adherence to all legal and customs requirements. Upon arrival at the site, the aluminum profiles and glass are handed over to specialized teams responsible for installing the façades according to the approved engineering plans. The transport and delivery process is carefully supervised to ensure the materials reach the site in perfect condition. During installation, the compatibility of the profiles and glass with the project’s engineering specifications and architectural design is meticulously verified. Emphasis is placed on ensuring effective thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as resistance to wind and water leaks, guaranteeing the long-term performance of the façade.

Supervision & installation

The installation of curtain wall façades (Curtain Wall) requires a high degree of precision to ensure compliance with engineering specifications and environmental standards. After selecting the appropriate materials and designing the system, a detailed installation plan is developed, outlining the various stages of execution and ensuring seamless coordination between the execution teams. During the installation process, the first step involves mounting the structural metal frames that support the façade, designed to hold glass or other materials as specified in the agreed design. The system is installed progressively, with meticulous alignment of each component to ensure structural and functional stability. Specialized engineering supervision is critical at every stage of the process to confirm that all elements are implemented according to technical specifications and engineering standards. Specialized engineering oversight is a fundamental aspect of the process. Experienced engineers oversee each phase, from mounting the metal frames to installing the glass or other materials. They ensure the quality of the materials used, the accuracy of the installation, and adherence to technical requirements for wind resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, and water leakage prevention. Coordination with on-site teams helps mitigate potential issues or errors during installation, ensuring a seamless and robust curtain wall system. Once the installation is complete, rigorous testing is conducted on the façade to verify its performance. This includes wind resistance testing, thermal and acoustic insulation checks, and water leakage tests. Specialized engineering supervision ensures that all these standards are met with precision, guaranteeing the long-term sustainability and high performance of the façade system.

Aluminum profiles used in curtain wall systems vary widely between the Turkish and German markets, offering diverse options with distinct materials and engineering configurations.

These profiles are specifically designed to withstand various environmental loads, such as wind and climatic factors.
