What is the difference between a glass wall and a curtain wall?
A glass wall is a fixed, non-load-bearing interior or exterior partition made entirely of glass panels, often used for office partitions and aesthetic designs. It does not provide structural support but enhances openness and visibility.
A curtain wall, on the other hand, is an exterior building envelope system made of aluminum frames and glass. Unlike glass walls, curtain walls are designed for weather resistance, thermal insulation, and energy efficiency while offering structural protection against wind loads and seismic forces. Curtain walls are ideal for high-rise buildings and commercial structures, whereas glass walls are more suited for interior partitions or decorative elements.
