Curtain walls hold a prominent place in contemporary architecture, transforming buildings into true screens of light and modernity. In Canada, numerous exemplary projects highlight the aesthetic and technical potential of curtain wall fa\u00e7ades, whether for glass-clad skyscrapers, institutional buildings, or corporate centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we present 10 inspiring curtain wall projects<\/strong> completed by Stekar, each showcasing in its own way the creative use of fa\u00e7ades using curtain walls (sometimes combined with other fa\u00e7ade types) in various contexts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. \u00c9difice 300 Saint-Paul \u2013 Quebec City<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"Fa\u00e7ade<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Fa\u00e7ade and highlights:<\/strong> This project features a clever mixed fa\u00e7ade, combining a high-performance glass curtain wall with opaque panels from the Multifa\u00e7ades system. The curtain wall primarily covers the upper floors, offering transparency and panoramic city views, while the architectural panels integrate harmoniously with the historic urban context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glass is coated with a low-emissivity film to improve energy efficiency, reducing solar heat gain while maximizing natural daylight. The combination of glass and metal panels gives the building a sleek, understated style, exemplifying a successful renovation where old and new coexist in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
