For many commercial building designs, expansive walls of window glass are transforming how people experience their built environment. Window walls deliver brighter interiors, stronger energy performance and uninterrupted views – all made possible by structural steel building systems.

Modern buildings (from skyscrapers to industrial facilities to homes of all types) increasingly rely on extensive use of glass. Large windows redefine their interiors by infusing natural light to create a seamless connection to the outdoors. Natural light, of course, is proven to enhance well-being and also to improve a structure’s energy efficiency. 

While windows have always been integral to building design, today’s expansive windowscapes are made possible by steel framing systems that eliminate the need for bulky and unsightly supports. The result is uninterrupted sightlines, reduced shadowing and interiors filled with consistent and warming sunlight.
