About this document
Curtain Wall Systems and Components by prachi surana is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A curtain wall system is an outer non-structural covering for a building that keeps weather out and occupants in. It can be made of lightweight materials like glass, reducing construction costs. Glass curtain walls allow natural light to penetrate deeper inside. The wall transfers wind loads to the building structure through floor and column connections. Curtain walls are designed to resist air, water and wind/seismic forces on the building.
