R. Baker & Son Curtain Wall Projects

A curtain wall is characterized as the thin outer covering of a building; the exterior walls are non-structural, normally aluminum-framed, containing infills of glass, metal, or flat stone. The framing is connected to the building construction and does not bear the floor or roof loads of the building.

On more extensive curtainwall projects, R Baker & Son worked together with Plan B Engineering to develop engineered and approved site-specific safety plans.
