01
Commercial High-Rises
Office towers and corporate buildings demanding performance and architectural identity.
Aluminum Systems
Curtain wall systems engineered as complete envelopes
High-performance façades where engineering, architectural intent, and controlled execution define the building envelope.
System Overview
Engineered building envelopes
Our curtain wall systems balance structural integrity, thermal efficiency, and architectural expression. Extruded aluminum profiles and compatible glass support large-scale façade applications across commercial, institutional, and mixed-use projects.
Each system is coordinated against wind loads, thermal performance, detailing, finishes, and site buildability for reliable lifecycle performance.
Applications
Where curtain walls are applied
Building types where envelope performance and architectural expression are equally critical.
02
Mixed-Use Developments
Coordinated façades integrating retail, residential, and office floors.
03
Institutional Buildings

FAQ
Curtain wall—frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a curtain wall and a window wall?
A curtain wall is a non-structural façade suspended from floor slabs, transferring wind and gravity loads to the building structure. A window wall spans between slabs and is supported at each level. Curtain walls suit high-rise and large-scale façades where continuity and performance are critical.
What curtain wall system types does ArcTak offer?
We deliver stick-built, unitized, structural-glazing, and spider-glazing systems. Selection depends on scale, schedule, geometry, and performance requirements.
Can curtain wall systems use different glass types?
Yes. Systems can coordinate insulated glass units, laminated and tempered glass, heat-reflective coatings, and acoustic glazing.
How do curtain walls perform in Nigeria’s climate?
Systems are engineered for high humidity, intense solar exposure, and seasonal rain. Profiles, glazing, and sealants are selected around the project’s thermal and weather-performance requirements.
Does ArcTak handle supply and installation?
Yes. ArcTak Designs coordinates fabrication, site preparation, supply, and on-site installation across the project lifecycle.
Planning a curtain wall façade?
We can support system selection, performance specifications, and coordination with project drawings.
