Building foundations are the structural base that transfers the weight of a building to the ground. They provide stability, prevent settlement, and protect against external factors like moisture and temperature changes. A solid foundation depends on the soil type, building weight, and environment.

A visible glazed curtain wall is a prevalent architectural façade system, where the mullions – the vertical and horizontal framing members – are explicitly exposed, creating a distinct grid pattern on the building's exterior. This design not only provides structural support but also adds a rhythm. Visible Glazed Curtain Walls are constructed with common mullion widths between 2”-6” (5-15 cm), mullion depths of 4”-10” (10-25 cm), and cap depth of .5”-3” (1.3-7.6 cm). Glazed curtain wall panel sizes vary as desired.
