In modern architecture, curtain wall systems play a vital role in both aesthetics and durability, especially for skyscrapers. These systems not only enhance a building’s exterior appearance but also contribute to energy efficiency and resistance to environmental conditions. At Marken Yapı, we offer two ideal facade systems for high-rise structures: Structural Silicone Facade Systems and Capped Facade Systems.
What Are Structural Silicone Facade Systems?
Structural silicone facade systems are modern cladding solutions where glass and aluminium panels are bonded with silicone adhesives, creating a sleek, uninterrupted glass surface without visible cover profiles. Frequently used in skyscrapers, this system provides both aesthetic and functional advantages.
Advantages:
- Delivers a seamless glass appearance, ensuring a refined aesthetic.
- Offers high resistance to strong winds and harsh weather conditions.
- Provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
- Enhances energy efficiency, particularly in high-rise projects.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a structural silicone facade, and what is its purpose?
A structural silicone facade is a cladding system where glass and aluminium panels are bonded using silicone adhesives, without any visible cover profiles on the exterior. It gives buildings a sleek, modern, and uninterrupted exterior appearance.
What are the advantages of structural silicone facade systems?
These systems improve energy efficiency, offer superior wind resistance, and provide a transparent aesthetic that aligns with contemporary architectural trends.
What Are Capped Facade Systems?
Capped facade systems combine modern and traditional architectural elements by using aluminium profiles that are prominently visible on glass panels. These systems add decorative depth to glass surfaces and offer high structural strength, making them an appealing and functional choice for skyscrapers.
Advantages:
- Creates an elegant appearance with decorative aluminium cover profiles.
- A reliable and durable system suitable for high-rise buildings.
- Adaptable to various architectural designs with different colour and coating options.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a capped facade system?
A capped facade system is a cladding solution where glass panels are secured with aluminium profiles, making the profiles visible from the outside, adding both structure and aesthetic value.
Why are capped facade systems preferred in skyscrapers?
Due to their high wind resistance and striking appearance, capped systems are often chosen for tall buildings.
Why Is Facade Cladding Selection Important for Skyscraper Projects?
Choosing the right facade cladding system for skyscrapers ensures the building’s longevity and energy efficiency. Since high-rise buildings are more exposed to wind and weather conditions, durable facade systems are essential. At Marken Yapı, our Structural Silicone and Capped Facade Systems provide tailored solutions to meet these demands. In modern architecture, facade cladding is not only about aesthetics but also plays a crucial role in energy savings and structural safety.
