MAKING A STATEMENT
Not commonly associated with residential applications, Express offer bespoke low-rise curtain wall systems providing expertly tailored solutions to each project and site location.
Aluminium curtain walling is perfect for creating homes with large expanses of glass, whole elevations of buildings can benefit it from floor to ceiling glass spanning several floors and even sitting angled directly underneath the roof ridge. A true feature within any luxury home.
DESIGN & ENGINEERING
Market trends have seen a real increase in the demand for expansive glazing within new build developments, often with entire elevations and huge gabled walls designed to be made up purely of aluminium and glass. The system is extremely versatile and glass facades are often designed as entrance atriums, glass links and even whole elevations of a property. Available in our full range of colours, plus with the ability to house our bespoke folding and sliding door products as well as aluminium windows, curtain walling is becoming increasingly popular in new build homes.
