Qatar's skyline is transforming at a very fast rate, with modern architecture's signature of sleek glass façades and advanced curtain wall systems becoming the norm. These buildings are no longer about visual appeal; they are developed with an aim of increasing energy efficiency, interior comfort, and safety. For many years now, Kyda International has specialized in curtain wall and facade solutions in Qatar, delivering high-performance glass curtain wall systems for modern buildings.
Benefits of Modern Curtain Wall Systems in Qatar
Curtain wall is a lightweight exterior non-structural cover that is often made of glass and aluminum. It doesn't bear the loads of the building but protects the interior from weather. By introducing natural light into spaces while providing thermal and acoustic performance, curtain walls create a continuous building envelope that is open and yet secure.
Types and Applications of Curtain Wall Systems
There are several curtain wall installation methods, each of which is suitable for a particular type of project. Stick systems are separately fabricated pieces assembled at the job site and are ideal for medium jobs where flexibility counts. Unitized systems are factory-built panels that may be quickly installed on high-rise jobs and provide quick installation and enhanced quality control. Higher-end versions, such as double-skin facades, achieve high energy efficiency with the use of a ventilated intermediate zone between two glass skins, while structural or spider glazing achieves a minimalist, frameless look popular in modern designs.
Why Curtain Walls are Necessary in Qatar’s Buildings
Curtain walling has become a necessity rather than a luxury of the Qatari building scene. With their aesthetic beauty aside, the systems improve a building's energy efficiency through cooling cost minimization — a relevant consideration of our climate. Engineered to withstand harsh conditions like heat, sand, and high winds, curtain walling can also be specified according to stringent safety and fire standards from the Qatar Construction Specifications and from the Civil Defense Authority.
