Bending Curtain Wall – Creating Beautifully Curve Facades

Bending Curtain Wall Sections

Usually designed for their aesthetically pleasing looks, the purpose of curtain walls is to enhance the exterior of a building and to allow a large amount of natural light inside to give a more open and welcoming feeling. We understand that matching that design is hugely important as it could change the feeling of looking at or being inside of the building.

Curtain walls are some of the hardest to bend sections in the field of aluminium section bending. They often have extremely tight curves or multiple radii over long sections lengths giving them a strong tendency to be damaged during the bending process.

 

 

Bending curtain wall sections can often cause surface rippling. To address this, we’ve improved our machine design for better control. Our aluminium bending machines include features that support the profile during the entire bending curtain wall process. These features also help prevent twisting and maintain shape accuracy. As a result, operators can achieve clean, smooth curves with reduced risk of damage.

 

Curving Aluminium Curtain Walls with Precision

We have a long history in the bending market and have worked closely with specialist companies to develop the tools needed for curved curtain wall systems. Our machines help operators reduce risks, making the bending process smooth and simple. Today, some of the world’s leading façade and window companies rely on our machines to create stunning and precise architectural features.

They can easily curve:

  • Lengths up to 15m
  • Multiple Radii
  • Accurate Tight Curves
  • No Collapse or Rippling
  • 3D Curves
