60 mm wide aluminium profile curtain walling.
Suitable for optimising grids of residential and commercial buildings, new builds or renovations. Particularly suitable for:
The TENTAL curtain wall offers an extensive range of solutions and creative freedom when designing a facade. It allows modular curtain wall designs with large glazing units to enable maximum transparency with a minimal sightline.
It uses Hydro CIRCAL®, an alloy made with a minimum of 75% recycled end-of-life aluminium, allowing tons of scrap that would otherwise become waste be reintroduced into the system. The thermal break elements are made from recycled xPET, a material that gives a second life to used plastic drinks bottles. Therefore, the TENTAL curtain wall is a suitable solution for current needs in terms of design and sustainability in the building industry.
