Curtain Walls

Quick Answer

Aluminium curtain walling in Malta provides multi-storey glazed facades engineered for wind loading, solar management, and water tightness. Fabricated in Paola for commercial headquarters, retail centres, and luxury villas, our systems deliver sleek modern envelopes.

Curtain wall systems create continuous glazed facades that hang from building structures, providing uninterrupted views, architectural prestige, and weather protection across multiple storeys.

Key Insights

Everything You Need to Know

Direct answers to the most common architectural and technical questions regarding curtain walls in Malta.

What types of curtain wall systems does JCD fabricate in Malta?

We manufacture stick curtain wall systems with traditional pressure plates and decorative caps, as well as semi-structural and structural silicone glazed (SSG) facades for smooth, uninterrupted glass exteriors.

How are curtain walls engineered for wind loads and coastal conditions in Malta?

Each facade is engineered using reinforced mullion and transom profiles sized to withstand coastal wind pressures, with integrated internal drainage channels and thermal isolators.

Can operable windows be integrated into a curtain wall facade?

Yes. Concealed top-hung projecting sashes and parallel opening vents can be seamlessly integrated into the facade grid without breaking the exterior architectural lines.

  • Ensure bottom weep holes and pressure cap drainage slots remain unblocked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Curtain Walls

Is curtain walling suitable for residential villas in Malta?

Yes. Many contemporary villas incorporate two-storey curtain walls over staircases, entrance foyers, and living rooms for dramatic architectural effect.

How does curtain walling control heat gain during Maltese summers?

We pair our thermally broken aluminium grids with advanced solar-control double glazing that reflects solar heat while admitting natural visible light.
