Curtain Walls & Structural Glazing
Engineered glass facades that carry wind and weather loads while giving the building one clean skin.
Choose the right system
Four ways to build it. Pick a type to see how it opens, where it fits best and what it includes.
Stick Curtain Walls
Mullions and transoms are fixed to the structure on site, then glass is installed and held with pressure plates and caps.
Best for: Low and mid-rise buildings, podiums, showrooms and irregular geometry.
- Lower upfront cost
- Easy to adjust on site
- Needs access equipment or scaffolding
Unitized Curtain Walls
Complete glazed units are built and sealed in the factory, delivered to site and hooked onto brackets at each slab edge.
Best for: High-rise towers, repetitive facades and tight programmes.
- Fast building enclosure
- Factory quality control
- Can be installed from inside the floor plate
Spider Glass Facades
Glass panels are held at their corners by stainless steel spider fittings on fins, steel posts or cables, with no frame around the glass.
Best for: Lobbies, atriums, showroom fronts and canopies.
- Maximum transparency
- Tempered or laminated glass
- Stainless steel fittings
Structural Glazing (Frameless)
Glass is bonded to a hidden aluminium frame with structural silicone, so the outside shows only glass and slim joints. Opening vents can be concealed.
Best for: Corporate buildings and any facade that should read as one glass surface.
- No caps on the outside
- 2-way or 4-way options
- Concealed opening vents
Why choose Curtain Walls & Structural Glazing
Daylight and views
Floor to ceiling glass brings natural light deep into the building.
Tested performance
Systems tested for air infiltration, water penetration and wind resistance.
Heat and glare control
Low-E and solar control glass reduce cooling loads in the Saudi summer.
Design freedom
Choose cap profiles, colours, glass tints and opening vents to suit the architecture.
Long life, low upkeep
Aluminium and glass need little more than cleaning and periodic sealant checks.

From survey to handover
Survey
We visit the site, take precise measurements and review drawings, levels and wall conditions.
Design
Shop drawings, system and glass selection, structural and wind load checks where needed.
Fabricate
Profiles are cut, assembled and glazed to size under quality control before delivery.
Install
Our trained crews install, seal and adjust every unit, supervised by a project engineer.
Handover
Final inspection, operation walkthrough and aftercare support for the life of the system.
Questions clients ask
Still unsure which system fits? Send us your drawings or a photo of the opening.
Stick or unitized, which do I need?
Stick suits smaller or irregular buildings and keeps upfront cost down. Unitized suits towers and repetitive facades where speed and factory quality matter. We advise per project.
Which glass works best in Saudi Arabia?
Double glazed units with a Low-E solar control coating are the usual choice, with tempered, heat-strengthened or laminated glass as safety requires.
Can a curtain wall have opening windows?
Yes. Top-hung vents can be built into the grid, and in structural glazing they can be concealed so the facade looks uniform.
Is structural silicone safe?
Yes, when designed and applied correctly. Joint sizes are calculated for the wind load and glass size, and application is controlled.
Do you provide shop drawings and calculations?
Yes. We prepare shop drawings and coordinate structural checks with the project consultant.
What maintenance does a facade need?
Regular cleaning, plus periodic inspection of gaskets, sealant joints and drainage paths.
