Aluminium, Glazing and Curtain Wall Installation Supervision

Glazed facades and shopfronts define the look of modern African commercial buildings, but leaking curtain walls and rattling windows are among the most stubborn defects to fix once the scaffold is down. This course covers the supervision of aluminium, glazing and curtain wall installation. It focuses on setting out, fixing, weatherproofing and the testing that keeps facades watertight and secure in strong sun and wind.

What you will be able to do

  • Interpret facade, glazing and curtain wall shop drawings.
  • Verify structural openings and tolerances before installation.
  • Supervise fixing, bracketry and support of aluminium systems.
  • Control glazing, gaskets and sealants for weatherproofing.
  • Manage water tightness and air infiltration testing.
  • Inspect finished facades and manage remedial work.
