Mullion-Transom curtain wall

Facade construction

A mullion-transom curtain wall system is a modern and flexible façade construction that impresses with its versatility and aesthetic appeal. This type of façade is supported by vertical mullions and horizontal transoms, which form the load-bearing framework and at the same time provide an ideal basis for large glass fronts.

Modular structure

It enables open architecture with plenty of daylight and excellent ventilation. By using high-quality materials such as aluminium, steel or glass, the mullion and transom façade offers high stability and durability. It also impresses with excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing. The modular structure of this façade allows it to be customised to the individual requirements of any building project. Perfectly suited for both new builds and refurbishments, this façade offers an attractive solution for modern buildings.

Advantages at a glance

Adaptability

The mullion-transom curtain wall system enables a customised design and can be easily adapted to different architectural styles and requirements. It is suitable for both large glass surfaces and smaller, customised elements.

Optimum light utilisation

The combination of narrow vertical mullions and horizontal transoms allows large glass surfaces to be integrated, which ensures a high level of light incidence and floods the interior with daylight.

Thermal and sound insulation

Thanks to the use of modern glazing, mullion and transom façades offer excellent insulation in terms of both heat and sound, contributing to the energy efficiency of a building and ensuring pleasant acoustics.
