Steel Reinforced Curtain Wall System

Steel reinforced curtain wall system is a strong add on facade solution used in wide-span projects where standard aluminum curtain wall profiles are not sufficient on their own. In this system, aluminum caps, gaskets, glass and connection details are designed to work together with project-specific steel carrier profiles.

The add on system offers architects and investors flexible design opportunities, especially in large facade openings where more transparent surfaces are required. It can be preferred for airports, car showrooms, large entrance halls, commercial buildings, atrium spaces, high-ceiling office buildings and special architectural facade projects.

Steel reinforced curtain wall systems combine high-strength steel construction with aluminum facade details in projects where deep aluminum profiles are not sufficient or not preferred. This makes it possible to achieve large glass surfaces, high inertia requirements and strong facade support within the same system approach.

Optimal Mimarlık develops safe, aesthetic and project-specific facade solutions by evaluating architectural design goals, structural requirements, steel profile selection, glass combination, anchoring details and site installation conditions together in steel reinforced curtain wall system applications.

Steel reinforced curtain wall system enables aluminum facade components and steel carrier structures to work together in projects where large openings need to be passed in a single span. This approach provides a stronger and more flexible solution, especially for facades requiring high inertia values.

In add on systems, facade support capacity is shaped according to the selected steel profile section and the structural requirements of the project. Aluminum profiles, glass holding details, gaskets, connection components and sealing solutions should be designed in harmony with the steel carrier system.

In these systems, glass thickness, glass combination, facade height, wind load, span dimensions, building function, thermal insulation, water and air tightness, installation access and maintenance requirements should be evaluated together. Correct detailing is critical for the safe application of large glass surfaces, especially in showrooms, airports, commercial buildings and prestige facade projects.

In steel reinforced curtain wall applications in Istanbul, building location, wind effects, facade height, steel-aluminum connection details, glass weight, anchoring points and installation safety should be carefully planned. A properly designed add on facade system increases architectural transparency while supporting long-term facade performance.

Optimal Mimarlık provides strong, aesthetic and applicable facade solutions by managing project detailing, steel carrier design, aluminum facade system integration, glass selection, fabrication and installation processes together in steel reinforced curtain wall system projects.
