Curtain Wall

Curtain walls have a rich history that dates back to the medieval times and the Middle Ages. During the medieval times, due to constant and unpredictable threats of attacks, defence mechanisms were extremely important and these walls were one of the most important defensive structures used to protect several important institutions and buildings such as castles. On the other hand, in the middle Ages, these walls were meant to keep invaders out and to keep out elements typically rain and the wind in order to help stabilize structures. Having evolved from these times, walls - now called ‘curtain walls’ - are largely used in commercial building designs.
