Premium Curtain Wall Systems in Dubai

Curtain walls enhance energy efficiency through multiple mechanisms. They incorporate advanced glazing technologies such as double-glazed and Low-E glass, which significantly reduce solar heat gain while maintaining natural light transmission. Thermal breaks in the aluminum framing prevent heat transfer between exterior and interior environments. These features collectively reduce cooling costs by 20-30% in Dubai's hot climate, improving the building's overall energy performance and sustainability rating.

Absolutely. Our curtain wall systems are specifically engineered for Dubai's skyline, including super-tall structures. They feature high wind-load resistance (tested up to 3000 Pa), superior structural stability, and specialized anchoring systems designed for high-rise applications. Our unitized systems are particularly advantageous for tall buildings, offering faster installation at height and factory-controlled quality. We've successfully installed curtain walls on buildings exceeding 50 stories throughout the UAE.

We offer a comprehensive range of high-performance glass options tailored to Dubai's climate and your specific project requirements. Our portfolio includes solar control glass with various levels of light transmission and heat rejection, low-emissivity (Low-E) coated glass, laminated safety glass, acoustic glass for sound insulation, and decorative options including fritted, ceramic-printed, and color-tinted glass. All glass is tempered or heat-strengthened for safety and durability, with thicknesses typically ranging from 6mm to 12mm depending on panel size and wind load requirements.

Installation timeframes vary based on project size, complexity, and system type. For a typical 10-story commercial building, unitized curtain wall installation might take 3-4 months, while stick-built systems could require 5-6 months. Unitized systems offer significantly faster installation (up to 50% quicker) as panels arrive pre-assembled from our factory. Our project managers provide detailed timelines during the consultation phase, and we're known for maintaining strict adherence to project schedules through efficient logistics and experienced installation teams.

Makfold curtain walls are designed for minimal maintenance in Dubai's challenging climate. We recommend quarterly exterior glass cleaning to maintain appearance and solar performance, annual inspection of gaskets and seals, and biennial comprehensive assessment of structural components and water drainage systems. Our optional maintenance contracts include these services plus emergency response. Many clients choose our self-cleaning glass options with hydrophilic coatings that use rainwater to wash away dust and dirt, reducing cleaning frequency—particularly valuable for tall buildings in Dubai's dusty environment.
