A glass facade brings prestige and daylight — but the wrong glass and profiles turn offices into ovens in summer. Here are the questions to ask before commissioning a curtain wall in Bursa.
A glass facade (curtain wall) is one of the most popular facade solutions for offices, showrooms and hotels in Bursa. But it is an engineering system that faces wind, sun, rain and temperature swings every day. Clarify these nine points before requesting quotes.
1. Which system: structural, capped or semi-capped?
The choice depends on building height and wind load before aesthetics.
2. Glass selection drives energy bills
On south and west elevations, Low-E solar control glass cuts cooling loads; on north elevations insulation matters more. Choose glass per elevation.
3. Are the profiles thermally broken?
Without thermal breaks you get condensation and heat loss in winter.
4. Has the wind load been calculated?
A curtain wall quote without a structural report is incomplete — especially for tall buildings and coastal sites.
5. Are there fire barriers at slab edges?
The gap between facade and slab acts as a chimney in a fire; stone wool fire-stopping must be part of the system.
6. Opening vents
Concealed vents provide natural ventilation without spoiling the facade.
7. Cleaning access
Rails, roof anchors or platform access should be planned at design stage.
8. Water testing
Pressurised water tests after installation prevent future leaks.
9. What drives the price?
System type, glass build-up, profile series, height, number of vents and scaffolding. See our facade cladding price guide or request a free survey.
