Curtain Wall Installation in Detroit: what to expect

Curtain wall installation in Detroit is large-scale commercial glazing: aluminum-framed glass systems that hang from the building structure across multiple floors. It is used on offices, hospitals, schools and mixed-use buildings in downtown Detroit, Southfield, Troy and across Metro Detroit, in new construction and facade renovations.

Curtain wall work is engineered. The glazing contractor works from architectural drawings and shop drawings, designs anchors for wind and building movement, and specifies insulated glass, spandrel panels and thermal breaks. Water management, air barriers and performance testing matter, especially with Michigan freeze-thaw and wind off the lakes.

Smaller ground-floor projects may be commercial storefront glass instead. For facade repairs after damage, see commercial glass replacement, or compare general contractors managing the project.

What a proper job includes

  • Review of architectural drawings and specifications
  • Shop drawings and engineered anchor design
  • Unitized or stick-built system fabrication
  • Insulated vision glass and spandrel panels
  • Air and water barrier tie-ins at the perimeter
  • Field water testing where specified
  • Closeout documents and warranties

What drives the price

  • Facade area and building height
  • Unitized vs stick-built system
  • Glass performance: low-E, triple glazing, laminated or bird-safe
  • Engineering and testing requirements
  • Access: lifts, scaffolding or cranes
  • Removal of existing facade on renovations
  • Schedule, phasing and occupied building work

Permits and safety glazing in Michigan

Curtain wall is part of the building envelope, so it goes through building permits and plan review with the local building department (BSEED in Detroit), usually as part of a larger project. Engineering, energy code and structural requirements apply, and the design team typically handles submittals.

Glass in hazardous locations, such as near entrances and walking surfaces, must be safety glazing under Michigan law and code. For commercial projects, check insurance, bonding, commercial references and any manufacturer certifications the specification requires.
