What Is an Aluminium Glass Curtain Wall System?
An aluminium glass curtain wall is a non-load-bearing exterior façade system made of aluminium framing, glass panels and project-specific connection components. It forms the external glazed envelope of a building while creating a modern and consistent façade appearance.
Modern Appearance
Large glazed areas and clean aluminium sightlines help create a contemporary façade for offices, hotels, retail buildings and public spaces.
More Natural Light
Glass curtain wall systems allow daylight to enter interior spaces while maintaining a clear visual connection between the building and its surroundings.
Integrated Façade Elements
The system can be planned with fixed glazing, opening windows, doors, louvers and other compatible aluminium façade components where required.
Choose the Right Glass Curtain Wall System
The suitable glass curtain wall system depends on the desired external appearance, building height, installation conditions, glass specification and project logistics. Explore the main options below.
Exposed Frame Curtain Wall
Exposed frame glass curtain walls feature visible aluminium mullions and transoms on the exterior façade. The framing grid becomes part of the architectural appearance, providing a clear and structured visual rhythm.
This option is commonly considered for commercial façades where visible framing lines, configuration flexibility and a practical glazing approach are preferred.
Structural Glazed Curtain Wall
Structural glazed curtain walls are designed to create a cleaner and more continuous glass appearance, with the aluminium support structure less visible from the exterior.
This option is often selected for projects that require a more seamless façade expression. Final glazing and connection details should be discussed according to the project design.
Semi-Unitized Curtain Wall
Semi-concealed curtain walls combine visible and concealed framing lines. One direction of the aluminium grid may remain visible while the other is hidden behind the glass.
This configuration provides a balance between a defined façade grid and a cleaner glazed appearance.
Unitized Curtain Wall
Unitized glass curtain walls use factory-assembled aluminium-and-glass façade units that are installed as larger modules on site.
This approach is often considered for larger commercial façade projects where module coordination, site logistics and installation sequencing are important.
Opening Elements for Aluminium Glass Curtain Wall
A glass curtain wall does not need to be a fully fixed façade. Where required by the architectural design and building function, aluminium opening windows, access doors and louvers can be integrated into the curtain wall system.
By coordinating these elements with the curtain wall framing, glass layout and façade sightlines from the beginning, the building can maintain a more consistent external appearance while meeting practical requirements for ventilation, access and service areas.
Opening windows can be integrated into selected curtain wall zones where natural ventilation, daily use or façade access is required. The window type, opening direction, size and position should be confirmed in the façade drawing.
Glass curtain wall doors can be included at entrances, lobby areas, retail fronts or access points. Door configuration should be coordinated with the curtain wall module layout and the intended traffic requirement.
Aluminium louvers can be incorporated where ventilation, equipment screening or façade airflow is required. Their size, blade style, location and finish can be discussed as part of the overall façade package.
Curtain Wall Applications
Aluminum curtain wall systems are widely used in modern commercial and architectural projects where large glass areas, structural performance, weather resistance, and exterior design flexibility are required. HTS-ALU can customize curtain wall systems according to building type, façade design, glass specification, and project performance requirements.
Office Buildings
Aluminum curtain walls are commonly used for office towers, business centers, and corporate headquarters. Large glass façades improve natural daylight, create a modern exterior appearance, and support energy-efficient building design when combined with Low-E insulating glass and thermal break aluminum profiles.
Hotels & Resorts
For hotels, resorts, and serviced apartments, curtain wall systems help create bright interiors, attractive exterior elevations, and high-end architectural façades. Different glass types, frame finishes, and structural glazing options can be customized to match the project’s design style and performance needs.
Shopping Malls
Commercial buildings often require wide glass elevations, entrance façades, atriums, and display areas. Aluminum curtain walls provide strong structural support, flexible design options, and durable surface finishes for high-traffic retail and mixed-use developments.
Residential Towers
High-rise apartments and luxury residential buildings use curtain wall systems to increase daylight, expand exterior views, and create a clean modern façade. Thermal performance, acoustic insulation, wind load resistance, and water tightness are important considerations for residential tower projects.
Transportation Buildings
Airports, stations, and transportation terminals require large-span glass façades with reliable structural performance. Aluminum curtain wall systems are suitable for these projects because they offer lightweight framing, weather resistance, custom fabrication, and compatibility with different safety glass specifications.
Hospitals & Educational Buildings
Hospitals, schools, universities, and public buildings often require durable façade systems with good daylight performance, weather protection, and low maintenance. Aluminum curtain walls can be customized with insulated glass, laminated safety glass, and powder-coated or anodized finishes for long-term use.
Curtain Wall Materials & Specifications
The performance of an aluminum curtain wall depends on the right combination of frame profiles, surface finish, glass configuration, and ventilation design. HTS-ALU can customize each part according to building height, wind load, façade design, energy requirements, and project specifications.

What types of curtain wall systems do you manufacture?
HTS-ALU can manufacture custom aluminum curtain wall systems including exposed frame curtain walls, concealed frame curtain walls, semi-concealed curtain walls, structural glazing systems, stick-built curtain walls, and unitized curtain wall systems. The suitable option depends on façade design, building height, installation method, glass size, and project requirements.
What is the difference between stick and unitized curtain wall systems?
Stick curtain wall systems are assembled mainly on site using individual aluminum profiles and glass panels. Unitized curtain wall systems use factory-assembled façade units that are installed as larger modules on the building. Stick systems are often used for flexible or smaller projects, while unitized systems are commonly considered for larger façades and high-rise buildings where installation efficiency is important.
Can curtain walls include opening windows?
Yes. Operable window sections can be integrated into selected curtain wall areas for ventilation and access. Awning windows are commonly used in curtain wall systems because they provide controlled airflow while maintaining a clean façade appearance and better rain protection.
What glass options are available for curtain wall systems?
Common glass options include laminated glass, insulating glass, laminated insulating glass, Low-E glass, tempered glass, and safety glass combinations. The final glass specification should be selected according to safety requirements, thermal performance, acoustic insulation, wind load, and façade design.
What surface finishes can be used for aluminum curtain wall profiles?
Aluminum curtain wall profiles can be finished with high-weather-resistant powder coating, PVDF coating, anodizing, or electrophoresis. Powder coating and PVDF are widely used for exterior façades because they support many color options and provide long-term weather resistance.
What information do you need for a curtain wall quotation?
For an accurate quotation, please provide façade drawings, BOQ, building elevation drawings, curtain wall type, glass specification, surface finish, project location, estimated quantity or area, and any required performance standards. If drawings are not ready, you can also send photos, sketches, or basic project dimensions for preliminary discussion.
Can you customize curtain wall profiles according to project drawings?
Yes. HTS-ALU can customize aluminum profiles, frame structures, wall thickness, surface finishes, and fabrication details according to project drawings. Typical curtain wall aluminum profile wall thickness ranges from 2.5 mm to 4.0 mm, depending on structural requirements, panel size, wind load, and system design.
