STRUNOR FACADE ENGINEERING AND CURTAIN WALL
STRUNOR is a company specialised in the field of rainscreen envelope, CURTAIN WALL, general metalwork and aluminium frame.
Strunor provides coverage for projects with high technical requirements of the tertiary sector, from office buildings to airports.
We make a difference when building curtain wall, unique facades and engineering.
WE ARE A POINT OF REFERENCE IN THE ENGINEERING OF CURTAIN WALL AND SINGULAR FACADES
CURTAIN WALL FACADE
Curtain wall is defined as the enclosure formed by a grid of vertical and horizontal constructive elements (mullions and girders) acting as a substructure that wraps around the main structure of the building. The different enclosing elements are anchored to this substructure creating a lightweight continuous surface that acts as the separating layer between the inside and the outside of the edifice.Curtain wall is defined as the enclosure formed by a grid of vertical and horizontal constructive elements (mullions and girders) acting as a substructure that wraps around the main structure of the building.
The different enclosing elements are anchored to this substructure creating a lightweight continuous surface that acts as the separating layer between the inside and the outside of the edifice.
Generally, the acoustic and thermal insulation in a curtain wall construction is guaranteed by the physical qualities of the constituting elements, although in some cases these requirements can also be met by having a traditional cavity wall construction sitting behind it. Therefore the curtain wall construction should by itself or by combining it with a secondary layer of construction perform as a self-sufficient building envelope, but will not bear any load from the main structure of the building..
Aesthetically, a curtain wall lightweight façade, being a continuous skin separate from the floor slabs, allow for highly innovative and rich designs and finishes. For this reason, curtain walling which was in its origins a solution to particular constructive issues arisen in the design of singular buildings has now become a usual element in the urban landscape of our cities.
We classify curtain wall into three different categories according to its assembly system: non-structural glass systems, structural glass systems.
