About This Service

Performance Glass for
Modern Buildings

Curtain wall systems are the defining feature of modern commercial architecture — floor-to-ceiling glass facades that flood interiors with natural light while meeting demanding structural, thermal, and weather performance requirements. Houston Premium Glass installs stick-built and unitized curtain wall systems for commercial projects throughout Greater Houston.

We work directly from architect drawings and specifications, coordinating with structural engineers, general contractors, and building inspectors throughout the process. Our team manages shop drawing preparation, fabrication, sequencing, and installation — delivering curtain wall systems that meet AAMA and ASTM standards.

All commercial curtain wall work is performed by our fully insured installation crew. We carry general liability and workers' compensation; certificates of insurance are available on request for your project documentation.

System Types

We install the full spectrum of commercial curtain wall systems, from standard stick-built to high-performance structural silicone glazed facades.

Stick-Built Curtain Wall

Field-assembled aluminum framing with glass installed in place — the most common system for mid-rise commercial projects. Cost-effective, flexible, and widely available in standard and thermally broken profiles.

Unitized Curtain Wall

Factory-assembled panel units shipped to site and stacked vertically. Faster installation for high-rise and repetitive facades, with tighter quality control and reduced field labor.

Structural Silicone Glazing (SSG)

Glass panels bonded directly to the frame with structural silicone, creating a flush, uninterrupted glass face with no exposed metal. The cleanest aesthetic available in commercial glazing.

Point-Fixed / Spider Glazing

Glass panels suspended by stainless steel patch fittings and tension rods or structural steel — maximizing transparency and creating a dramatic, sculptural glass wall effect.

High-Performance Low-E

Thermally broken framing with triple low-emissivity coating for maximum energy efficiency. Reduces solar heat gain and HVAC load — critical for LEED and energy code compliance in Texas.

Spandrel & Opaque Panels

Ceramic-fritted, painted, or insulated spandrel panels integrated into curtain wall systems to conceal floor slabs and mechanical elements while maintaining a consistent glass facade appearance.
