S.03 / Architectural glazing
Curtain walling
Aluminium-framed glazed façades and screens for commercial projects, developed around the building design and construction interfaces.
Overview / scope
The service in context.
Curtain walling can form large areas of a commercial building envelope or a focused glazed entrance screen. MBE provides a joined-up route through estimating, technical design, manufacture and installation.
Every façade package depends on its grid, support conditions, glass specification, interfaces and programme. Current project information is therefore required before a system or performance is proposed.
Applications / discuss with MBE
Where this service may fit.
These are useful starting points, not a claim that one standard solution suits every building. Suitability depends on the project brief and approved technical information.
- A.01Commercial façades
- A.02Glazed entrance screens and multi-storey glazed zones
- A.03New-build and refurbishment building envelopes
Delivery / start to finish
One accountable project route.
MBE supports the route from initial enquiry and estimating through technical design, manufacture and completed installation. The precise stages depend on the agreed scope.
- 01
Enquiry & estimating
MBE reviews the available drawings, schedules and brief to establish the scope needed for an estimate.
- 02
Technical design
Project requirements and interfaces are coordinated before information is released for manufacture.
- 03
Manufacture
Agreed components are prepared through MBE's manufacturing service for the approved project scope.
- 04
Installation & completion
Installation is planned with the project team and carried through to the completion of the agreed works.
Technical information / project specific
Start with the project requirements.
System selection, performance values, finishes and supporting documentation are confirmed against the requirements of each project.
For a useful project-specific response, include the following with your enquiry:
- Façade grid, module sizes and support conditions
- Vision glass, opaque areas and interface requirements
- Project-specific movement, drainage and performance criteria
- Access, sequencing and coordination with adjacent trades
S.03 / project enquiry
Discuss curtain walling.
Share the location, timescale, drawings and outline scope. MBE can review what is available, clarify the requirements and confirm the appropriate next step.
