Aluminum Curtain Walls Engineered for Philippine Typhoons
We install highly engineered, non-load-bearing glass facades for low to mid-rise commercial buildings, utilizing structural silicone to handle severe dynamic wind pressures.
Engineered to survive Philippine typhoons.
Every curtain wall system is specified to ASTM wind load, water penetration, and air infiltration standards for the building's location and height classification.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| System Type | Stick-Built or Unitized Curtain Wall Systems |
| Glazing Method | 2-Sided or 4-Sided Structural Silicone Glazing (SSG) |
| Glass Specification | Double Glazed IGU, Low-E, Reflective Tempered |
| Mullions & Transoms | Custom engineered heavy-gauge aluminum box sections |
| Anchoring | Heavy-duty galvanized steel brackets embedded to concrete slabs |
Mullions that flex. Glass that holds.
Structural Wind Load Engineering
Every facade is calculated for design wind pressure based on building height, location, and NSCP wind zone classification.
Structural Silicone Glazing (SSG)
2-sided or 4-sided SSG bonds the glass to the frame structurally, eliminating exposed mechanical fasteners on the facade face.
Pressure-Equalized Water Management
Mullion cavity pressure equalization prevents water infiltration even during sustained wind-driven rain at typhoon intensity.
Full Documentation Package
Shop drawings, structural calculations, material certs, and ASTM test reports — all ready for building permit submission.
Engineering That Defies Philippine Typhoons.
Commercial facade systems designed to ASTM standards for wind load, water, and seismic performance.
Structural Engineering Package
Every curtain wall is engineered with certified structural calculations including wind load, dead load, and seismic factors for the specific building and location.
Typhoon-Rated Assemblies
We design and install facade systems tested to ASCE 7 and ASTM E330 wind load standards, suitable for Philippine typhoon exposure categories.
Solar Control Glass
Low-E, reflective, or tinted glass options significantly reduce solar heat gain, lowering air-conditioning loads and operating energy costs.
Pressure-Equalized Drainage
Our mullion systems use pressure-equalized water management, preventing water infiltration even during severe wind-driven rain events.
Stick or Unitized Systems
Stick-built systems assembled on-site piece by piece. Unitized panels pre-fabricated in the factory and lifted into position — faster and more precise for high-rise projects.
Full Documentation Package
Complete shop drawings, structural calculations, material certifications, and test reports — all required for building permit submissions and QA compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about commercial curtain wall projects in the Philippines.
What is the difference between a curtain wall and a window wall?
A curtain wall is a non-structural facade system that spans multiple floors and is hung from the building structural frame. A window wall sits between floor slabs and is supported at each level. Curtain walls are more complex but provide a seamless floor-to-floor appearance with better thermal and acoustic performance.
What glass types are used in curtain wall systems?
Most common for the Philippines: 6mm plus 12mm air gap plus 6mm Low-E double-glazed units for energy efficiency; 6mm reflective single glass for cost-effective solar control; and laminated glass for impact resistance and human fall protection on low levels.
How are curtain walls tested for typhoon resistance?
Curtain wall systems are tested under ASTM E330 (structural performance under air pressure), ASTM E331 (water penetration under pressure), and ASTM E283 (air infiltration). We design our systems to meet the design wind pressure calculated from the building location, height, and NSCP wind zone classification.
Do you handle curtain wall installation for high-rise buildings?
Yes. We have experience with mid-rise (up to 20 floors) commercial curtain wall installations. For very tall buildings, we partner with specialized facade contractors and serve as the glass supply and technical specification partner.
