Capability
Curtain Wall
Engineered glazing systems for sophisticated commercial building envelopes.
Overview
Curtain wall is the defining element of the modern commercial envelope. MetalCraft & Glass plans, coordinates, fabricates and installs unitized and stick-built curtain wall systems that carry their own weight and transfer wind and seismic loads back to the structure while keeping water, air and thermal loss out of the building.

- Integrated sunshades and blade systems
- Performance mockup coordination and testing
Common Questions
- What is the difference between stick-built and unitized curtain wall?
- Stick-built systems are assembled piece by piece on the building, while unitized systems arrive as pre-fabricated panels that install quickly and consistently. We help teams evaluate which approach best fits the schedule, access and budget of a given project.
- Do you coordinate performance mockups?
- Yes. On projects that require it, we coordinate visual and performance mockups, including air, water and structural testing, so systems are validated before full-scale installation.
