Application

Storefront commonly serves lower-rise retail and entrance zones; curtain wall is developed for more demanding exterior envelopes.

Water management

The systems use different drainage and pressure-equalization approaches that must match exposure and details.

Structure

Member depth, reinforcing, anchors and allowable spans depend on the exact system and project pressures.

Transitions

Doors, corners, roofs, canopies and adjacent walls need system-specific details.
