Curtain Walling & Façade Glazing
Stick-built pressure-equalized curtain walls, structural silicone glazing (SSG), solar control glass, and thermal expansion joints.
Engineering Scope & Fabrication Quality
GUMAX engineers and installs advanced curtain wall façade systems for multi-story commercial buildings, institutional headquarters, and luxury developments. Built with internal drainage zones, thermal break isolators, and structural silicone glazing (SSG), our façades prevent water ingress while maximizing natural daylight and energy conservation.
