Benefits with SCA Curtain Wall

60 percent lower climate footprint

The construction industry accounts for approximately 40 percent of global carbon emissions and will, in the coming years, need to undergo significant transformation to meet future environmental requirements. SCA Curtain Wall delivers a 60 percent reduction in climate impact compared to conventional steel solutions*, thanks to its timber structural frame.

Using heartwood in the exterior surfaces further reduces the footprint while creating a natural expression that ages gracefully. The modules are demountable and can be removed for reuse or recycling when needed, providing a long-term sustainable solution throughout the entire life cycle. Climate data in the form of EPDs and certification documentation is available.

*Indicative climate calculation based on EN 15978:201. Scope A1-A3. The calculation was carried out in BM (Byggsektorns miljöberäkningsverktyg) v 3.1. Databases: Boverket Climate Database, EPD Norway, EPD Denmark, and YM.fi Generic Data, as well as product-specific EPDs according to SS-EN 15804:2012+A2:2019.

Architecture without compromise

SCA Curtain Wall offers choice. A facade system can feature a full-width glass surface, several smaller glass openings, or no glazing at all. There is extensive flexibility in the selection of exterior cladding materials, such as timber cladding, sheet metal, glass, or ceramic surfaces.

The system provides broad opportunities for customization. There are often clear conditions and requirements from the developer to consider, from energy performance to acoustic specifications. With SCA Curtain Wall, architects can design with versatility and attention to detail, allowing the building to gain a distinct identity that harmonizes with its surroundings and strengthens the overall architectural expression.

Assurance from drawing to facade

SCA Curtain Wall is delivered as complete elements, with glazing and facade materials already installed. Everything is finished when the elements are lifted into place. This is cost-efficient, as no scaffolding is required, and it enables projects where traditional scaffolding would be difficult to use.

Construction time is reduced, and the building is rapidly made weatherproof. The system is produced in advance, indoors and under controlled conditions, ensuring a high level of reliability and clear quality advantages. SCA Curtain Wall also establishes a clear division between the structural frame and the exterior wall, simplifying responsibility throughout the project. The factory-produced elements reduce the risk of errors and contribute to an efficient and safe construction process with consistently high quality.
