When considering your choices for large buildings such as offices and commercial buildings or even for residential projects, there are many things you can use to create a brighter and more luxurious style of space.
The aim of most builds is to design and build something that as unlike the buildings that surround it, whether in the smaller or larger perspective. There are many ways you can make a building stand out, as you will know, and there are some integral ways to create a building that people want to be in.
As we are becoming more aware of the environmental issues we are facing it is also becoming more important to take the environment into consideration when designing a projects. This can be done by reducing the amount of harmful and unnatural materials and maximising the use of natural and eco-friendly materials where possible
What is curtain walling?
One of the great ways to reduce the carbon footprint of a building is to use curtain walling. This is a strategy where you switch out the presence of outer walls, which are generally made from bricks, concrete and other harmful materials, and switching them out for aluminium panels and glass.
Curtain walling is not only better for the environment and for faster construction but it also has many design and internal benefits. One of these benefits is the amount of light that is let into the building. This is great for both the obvious – a bright and open space – as well as heating up the building without having to use a lot of energy.
