Semi Capped Curtain Wall

The semi capped curtain wall is an application where facade glass panels are supported externally with aluminum cover profiles and installed on the exterior of the building. These aluminum profiles are applied either vertically or horizontally in this curtain wall system, typically preferring vertical application due to potential water leakage issues associated with horizontal cover profiles.

Similar to capped curtain walls, the semi-capped curtain wall requires slightly more labor during glass installation compared to structural silicone systems, as the cover profiles are mounted during construction. However, it requires fewer processes during glass manufacturing and does not involve additional adhesives as in silicone systems, making it more cost-effective than silicone curtain walls. Semi-covered systems are also more economical than fully covered systems.

These systems offer both inward and outward opening sash options. Glass dimensions, features, and colors can vary significantly, but the goal is always to achieve maximum aesthetics, maximum durability, maximum thermal insulation, and, of course, minimal cost by making the right choices. Throughout the process, from glass manufacturing to installation, we remain in constant communication before and during construction to determine the most suitable options and produce tailored solutions for you.
