Installing a Glass Curtain Wall in Durham, NC
A glass curtain wall is designed to cover several floors and is hung off of the building’s concrete slab using special anchors, rather than built into the structure. If your building is several stories tall, a crane is used to install the glass curtain walls.

Curtain Wall FAQs
Glass Curtain Walls FAQs
What is a glass curtain wall?
Glass curtain walls are a facade of the building made of aluminum framing and an infill material to create an attractive architectural element. While stone or metal can be used, the most common option is the glass curtain wall with an aluminum framing and custom glass panels.
Glass curtain walls are not structurally necessary but still have to be designed to transfer energy from the wall to the main structure. They built to be thermally efficient and resilient to weather.
What is the difference between a glass curtain wall and a window?
There are a few key elements that set a glass curtain wall and a window apart.
A window wall is built by placing glass between concrete slabs, using the slabs to support the structure. Since the concrete slabs break up the glass, the window walls are easier to install and customize, while the individual glass wall panels can be easier to fix.
Window walls are often used more in residential buildings instead of glass curtain walls because the concrete slabs between the glass in a window wall help to block noise and create a natural fire stop.

You can expect to pay anywhere between $200-600 per linear foot for glass curtain walls. To request a custom price quote for your Durham business, taking into account your unique space, please fill out this form.
