About us
Celebrating its 10th year of commercial production in 2023, GlasCurtain is the world leader in high-performance glazed curtain wall systems. Made entirely in Canada, our systems leverage fibreglass-framing technology to increase window-to-wall ratios without sacrificing building envelope performance. With three different systems to suit a variety of high-performance applications, GlasCurtain's Thermaframe series is flexible enough to meet the most demanding applications. Thermaframe 7 achieves R7 overall performance and is our most popular and cost-effective system. Thermaframe 8 leverages cutting-edge Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) technology to achieve R8 overall performance. Thermaframe 9 PH achieves R9 overall is the highest thermally-performing curtain wall system in the world, being the first and only to achieve Passive House Institute (PHI) Cold Climate criteria. GlasCurtain is dedicated to advancing envelope performance, particularly in the face of more stringent LEED, LBC, WELL, Net-Zero, and Passive House requirements. GlasCurtain is a proud member of the Canada Green Building Council and Passive House Canada.

At GlasCurtain, we’re helping to accelerate the shift to greener construction with our low-carbon fibreglass curtain walls designed to reduce embodied carbon without compromising on performance! 🌱🏗️
Buildings are responsible for about 40% of global GHG emissions—and that's just "operating carbon." What's the best way to account for "embodied carbon?" See how this WEF task force is looking at buildings' "whole life" carbon. #ghgemissions #decarbonization #decarbonizebuildings #netzero https://lnkd.in/ggTJxTUm

Schools are where inspiration takes root, young minds are nurtured, and communities come together. At GlasCurtain, we understand the profound role buildings play in the lives of those who use them. That’s why our Thermaframe systems are designed with the future in mind. With advanced fibreglass framing, we create learning environments that minimize energy loss, reduce carbon emissions, and ensure lasting performance for generations to come! 🌟🌳 ·· Project: Carleton University Engineering Design Centre Architects: Diamond Schmitt, KWC Architects Inc. ·· ·· #SustainableArchitecture #EnergyEfficientDesign #CurtainWall #FibreglassFraming #GreenBuilding #LowCarbon #HighPerformanceFacades #AcademicArchitecture #CarletonUniversity #EnvironmentalDesign #SustainableSchools
