A question we’re often asked is “What’s the difference between glass storefronts and curtain walls?” Although both are designed to protect commercial buildings (and their occupants) from the outside elements while providing natural light and visibility, each system has unique characteristics and applications. ▶ Storefront systems are ideal for low-rise buildings and ground floors, and are often seen in retail spaces and lobbies. They feature continuous glass panels framed by aluminum and are designed for aesthetic appeal and maximum visibility, with simpler construction. ▶ Curtain wall systems are used for high-rise and large commercial applications. They cover entire facades, are supported by an aluminum framework, and offer advanced thermal performance, energy efficiency, and weather resistance. Curtain walls allow for greater design flexibility and can extend beyond the building's structural frame. The bottom line? Storefronts are a functional and cost-effective option for ground-level or low-rise applications, while curtain walls offer superior thermal and structural performance and greater design versatility for larger openings. #CurtainWalls #Storefronts #CommercialGlazing #WindowGlazing #ContractGlazing #Construction #Design

Plumbing Manufacturers International released its annual report with the theme, "Past, Present, Future." Starting with a summary of PMI's history, the report reviews recent accomplishments before describing plumbing manufacturing's efforts to "rethink water" in response to water shortages caused by climate change. "Over the past 70 years, the resilience and innovative nature of the plumbing manufacturing industry has been very apparent and continues today," says PMI CEO/Executive Director Kerry Stackpole IOM FASAE CAE in the report. "These qualities serve us well today, as we work to meet the many challenges facing the industry and society." Find more details and a link to the report here: https://lnkd.in/eV4fguz8
