Curtain wall facades in Al Hoceima
For a hotel, shop or building in Al Hoceima, a glass facade makes the most of the view over the bay. Marine anti-corrosion treatment and calculated reinforcements are part of the study.
What we do in Al Hoceima
Fully glazed facades for offices, hotels and large halls: light, image and performance.
A curtain wall is a lightweight facade hung from the building’s structure, where glass and aluminium replace the wall. We study it, make it and install it for office buildings, hotels and halls, with dedicated systems (Exlabesa ECW-50).
What you gain
- A continuous envelope of glass and aluminium
- Thermal and acoustic insulation that is properly studied
- A design suited to wind and salt
Technical details— for professionals and the curious
- VEC / VEA
- Two facade techniques: bonded exterior glazing (VEC), with no visible fixings, and mechanically attached exterior glazing (VEA), held in place by profiles.
- Curtain wall
- A lightweight, non-load-bearing facade hung from the building’s structure.
- AEV rating
- Air permeability, water tightness, wind resistance (A-E-V in French): the three performances checked on a facade.

Why GMT Design in Al Hoceima
Al Hoceima stretches along the Mediterranean coast of the Rif, facing the bay. Sea wind and spray put the joinery under strain, and many sloping plots make access and installation more delicate: these constraints are prepared for upfront, from the study stage. Villas and residences with sea views are common there.
What we take into account in Al Hoceima
- Sea wind and spray: profiles treated against corrosion
- Access and handling planned in advance for sloping plots
- Large glass openings to make the most of the view over the bay
Frequently asked questions
Can you work on a sloping site in Al Hoceima?
Yes, but access and handling are planned in advance. Describe the site to us (photos, access, height): we take it into account in the study and in the quote.
What is the difference between VEC and VEA?
VEC (bonded exterior glazing) is fixed with an adhesive joint: no fixing is visible from outside. VEA (attached exterior glazing) is held mechanically by profiles. The choice depends on the look you want and on the project.
Can you work from our C.P.S.?
Yes. We analyse your specification line by line and offer a compliant proposal, technical data sheets included.
Do I need a curtain wall for a villa?
Not necessarily: for a villa, sliding doors or minimalist joinery are usually enough. Curtain walls are mainly for office buildings, hotels and large halls.
How does a glass facade cope with the marine climate in Al Hoceima?
Through a marine anti-corrosion treatment of the profiles (Qualicoat Seaside), A4 stainless fixings and reinforcements calculated for the winds of the area.
