Curtain Wall Construction

Curtain Wall Construction

This technique was developed in the early 1900’s. A curtain wall nyc is a steel structure that can be attached on the outside of a main foundation or structure. The first curtain walls were constructed of steel metal frames. These frames were heavy and the heights of the buildings were limited because of the extra weight. Extra work had to be put into the main structure to help to support this extra weight. Today the addition of lighter materials such as aluminum makes it easier to construct these curtain walls on buildings that are taller and are much bigger.
