Curtain Wall Steel in Detroit: what to expect
Curtain wall steel in Detroit is the structural support behind glass and panel facades: embed plates cast into slabs, anchors and clips, steel outriggers, girts and support framing that carries the curtain wall system back to the building frame. New towers and renovations downtown, in Midtown and in suburban office parks in Southfield and Troy rely on it.
The ironworker installs the steel to tight tolerances so the glazing crew can hang units in plane. Surveying embeds before the curtain wall arrives, correcting out-of-tolerance anchors, and protecting finishes from weld spatter are all part of the job. Metro Detroit winters mean thermal movement and air and water barriers must be planned at every connection.
Coordinate with glazing contractors and the structural steel erector, and compare Metro Detroit ironworkers.
