The curtain wall system is the outer wall of the building. The outer wall is not structural, but just protects the weather from the outside influence, and the occupants can only enter the interior.

Structural glass curtain wall refers to an external wall or facade that does not provide any type of support for other parts of the structure. Therefore, the structural glass curtain wall does not bear any weight of the roof or any other wall. Although this type of wall is sometimes only decorative in nature, it can also play some important roles. Structural glass curtain walls are often used to allow the maximum amount of light to pass through the structure and reach the interior. However, there are also some examples of curtain walls, including opaque spandrel glass panels or frosted window systems that can be opened and closed at will. Structural curtain walls play an important role in helping to minimize heating and cooling costs, as well as protecting buildings in the event of high winds.
