Is your curtain walling suitable for high-rise buildings?

Yes. Our aluminium curtain walling systems are engineered for versatility and are suitable for low, medium, and high-rise applications, providing excellent structural performance and weather resistance.

Can you integrate windows and doors into the system?

Absolutely. Our systems allow for the seamless integration of opening vents, windows, and commercial door sets, allowing you to maintain a consistent architectural aesthetic across the entire facade.

What technical standards do your systems meet?

We manufacture and install systems that are fully tested for air permeability, water tightness, and wind resistance, ensuring full compliance with current UK building regulations and CWCT standards.

Aluminium Curtain Walling Systems

Curtain Walling

Transform building facades with thermally efficient aluminium curtain walling

Create stunning glass facades for low-to-medium rise buildings. Our stick curtain walling systems offer slim sightlines, infinite design flexibility, and exceptional weather performance.

Curtain walling is the premier choice for modern commercial architecture, allowing for vast expanses of uninterrupted glass that span multiple floors. At Indus Aluminium, we manufacture and install high-performance aluminium curtain walling that defines the aesthetic of offices, schools, and retail showrooms.

We utilise a “stick” curtain walling system, which is fabricated in our Midlands factory and assembled on-site. This method offers incredible versatility, allowing for faceted, curved, or angled facades. The grid of mullions and transoms supports the weight of the glazing while transferring wind loads back to the primary building structure.

Crucially, our systems are compatible with our commercial doors and windows, allowing for seamless integration of opening vents and entrances within the glass facade. With a focus on CWCT standards (Centre for Window and Cladding Technology), we ensure every installation meets rigorous weather-tightness criteria.

Curtain Walling: Features

Outstanding Thermal Performance: Our curtain walling systems incorporate advanced thermally broken profiles designed to meet the requirements of Part L Building Regulations, helping to improve energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, and enhance occupant comfort.
Exceptional Design Flexibility: Suitable for a wide variety of architectural applications, our systems can be configured as vertical, sloped, faceted, or bespoke glazed elevations, enabling architects and designers to create striking contemporary facades without compromising performance.
Solar Control Glazing Options: High-performance solar control glass is available to minimise solar gain and reduce the risk of overheating, helping to maintain comfortable internal temperatures while protecting interior finishes from excessive UV exposure.
Ultra-Slim Sightlines: Featuring standard 50mm sightlines, our curtain walling systems maximise glazed areas and natural daylight while creating a clean, modern appearance with minimal visual interruption.
Seamless System Integration: Designed to accommodate a range of complementary products, including automatic entrance doors, commercial door sets, opening vents, and smoke ventilation systems, allowing a fully integrated facade solution.
Premium Durable Finishes: All systems are finished with high-quality powder coating, including marine-grade specifications where required, and are available in any RAL colour to complement corporate branding, architectural themes, or planning requirements.

Curtain Walling Systems – Additional Details

Our curtain walling systems are ideally suited to low- and medium-rise commercial developments, providing an attractive and highly functional facade solution for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, retail developments, leisure venues, and public buildings.

To meet the performance requirements of individual projects, the system can accommodate single, double, or triple-glazed units, enabling designers to achieve specific thermal, acoustic, solar control, and energy efficiency targets. Glazing specifications can be tailored to satisfy the project’s required U-values and Building Regulations compliance.

A variety of external capping options are available to enhance the architectural appearance of the facade, including:

Box Caps – Creating a bold, defined appearance.
Aerofoil Caps – Providing a contemporary, feature-led aesthetic.
Flush Caps – Delivering a sleek, minimalist glazed elevation.

These design options allow architects and clients to customise the visual character of the building while maintaining the structural and performance benefits of the curtain walling system.

Our technical team works closely with architects, consultants, and contractors throughout the design process to ensure all structural and performance criteria are achieved. This includes providing detailed support for wind load calculations, structural assessments, thermal modelling, glazing specifications, and compliance with relevant Building Regulations.

Suitable for All Building Heights

Our curtain walling systems can be specified for projects ranging from low-rise commercial developments to complex high-rise buildings. As a non-load-bearing external facade, the system is designed to resist environmental loads such as wind pressure whilst transferring these forces safely back to the building’s structural frame. Unlike structural elements of the building, curtain walling does not carry floor or roof loads, allowing greater design flexibility and extensive glazed elevations.

Each project is individually engineered to ensure compliance with structural, thermal, fire, and performance requirements, providing a safe, durable, and aesthetically striking building envelope. Through close collaboration with architects, structural engineers, facade consultants, and principal contractors, we deliver tailored curtain walling solutions capable of meeting the demands of both contemporary low-rise developments and landmark high-rise schemes.

By combining architectural flexibility, advanced thermal performance, and expert technical support, our curtain walling systems provide a complete facade solution that balances aesthetics, functionality, and long-term durability.
