Curtain Walls & Building Envelope

When it comes to curtain walls, safety and performance are critical. The exterior shell of a building is there to allow you to control the interior environment and to keep unwanted moisture, noise, temperature and other contaminants out.

Failures can be the result of design, construction or product defects. ESSEX can evaluate the problem, determine the source, provide a plan for repair and supervise the restoration. Eliminating unwanted air and moisture intrusion into the interior environment can save energy, reduce operating costs and provide improved interior comfort.

ESSEX has experience with most building types, including high-rise and low-rise and most cladding materials including, glass systems, pre-cast panels, stucco, masonry, natural stone, concrete and wood and wood products. Our experience extends to warm southern climates, northern climates with heavy snows, harsh coastal environments and sub tropical climates. These provide an outstanding background for understanding the sources and signs of material decay and the repairs required to correct the damage.
