Yes, OTEC can review curtain wall and architectural glass requirements for suitable commercial and architectural projects, based on the drawings, structural conditions, glass, interfaces and agreed scope. Curtain wall is a coordinated facade system rather than simply a larger window. Mullions, transoms, anchors, movement, drainage, pressure equalization, glass weight, spandrel areas and adjacent construction all need to be considered. Any required engineering, testing or approval must be confirmed rather than assumed.

The right discussion starts with elevations, sections, grid dimensions, floor-to-floor conditions, loading requirements, glass intent, finish, access and installation sequence. A project-specific review is needed before a system or performance claim is selected.

Decision points

  • Owner/developer: Confirm appearance, daylight, comfort, maintenance, programme and approval priorities for the facade package.
  • Architect/designer: Coordinate structural support, movement joints, drainage, glass, spandrels, interfaces and responsibility for calculations or testing.
  • Contractor/builder: Verify embeds, tolerances, access, lifting, sequencing, weather protection and inspection points before installation.
