glazed curtain walls


Explanation:
The façades consist of glazed curtain walls.

http://www.gkdc.co.uk/

The curtain wall method of glazing allows glass to be used in large uninterrupted areas creating consistent attractive facades. The flexibility in choice of products from Pilkington allows the designer to control every aspect of the performance from thermal to solar considerations and ultimately the design statement for the building.
