Colorado's Curtain Wall Experts
Current Colorado curtain wall trends include high-performance triple glazing for extreme temperature variations, integrated photovoltaic panels for energy generation, dynamic glass that adjusts tint based on sunlight intensity, and thermally broken systems designed specifically for high-altitude applications. We’re also seeing increased demand for bird-friendly glass designs and systems that accommodate the extreme thermal expansion common in Colorado’s climate.
Window wall systems in Colorado typically span between floor slabs, while curtain walls are suspended from the building structure and run continuously past floor slabs. This fundamental difference makes curtain walls better suited for Colorado’s climate extremes, providing superior thermal performance with fewer thermal bridges. Curtain walls also offer enhanced weather resistance critical for Colorado’s harsh conditions and typically provide better air and water infiltration protection in our high-wind mountain environments.
Installation in Colorado requires specialized expertise due to our unique climate challenges. The process begins with structural analysis accounting for high wind loads and seismic considerations. Anchor points are precisely engineered to the building structure, followed by installation of the aluminum framing system. Glass panels are then carefully placed and sealed with Colorado-specific weatherproofing materials designed for extreme temperature fluctuations. Final testing includes air and water infiltration tests calibrated for high-altitude conditions.
