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.

We recently revisited Episode 52 of the Better Buildings for Humans Podcast, hosted by Advanced Glazings Ltd., and featuring Dr. Jennifer Veitch, (National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada). Her decades of research into the relationship between light and well-being offer so many valuable takeaways for anyone designing healthier, more human-centered spaces. It’s a great reminder of why thoughtful approaches to daylight and lighting quality matter — not just for energy efficiency, but for supporting well-being in the spaces we live, work, and learn.

Condensation in buildings can pose significant challenges to indoor air quality, especially in institutions with large glazed curtain walls. Sustainable, efficient, and easy-to-sanitize materials, such as Thermaframe, our line of fibreglass curtain wall systems, can be a vital part of the solution. By incorporating materials like these, we can reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses and create healthier indoor environments! Our blog post dives into the benefits of maintaining mid-range air humidity levels in public buildings and the role of fibreglass frames in managing condensation! 💦🏥 https://lnkd.in/gBSMei-b ·· ·· #Condensation #IndoorAirQuality #CurtainWall #Fibreglass #Sustainability #Efficiency #40to60RH #RelativeHumidity #IRH #BuildingMaterials #HealthcareArchitecture
