Curtain wall facades in Asilah
A hotel, shop or small building in Asilah? We study the glass facade from your C.P.S. or your project, with a treatment suited to marine air.
What we do in Asilah
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 Asilah
Asilah is a small Atlantic coastal town south of Tangier. The air is salty all year round, and many houses are second homes: joinery that stands up to salt and needs little upkeep is a real advantage there.
What we take into account in Asilah
- Permanent salty air: marine-grade treatment and fixings
- Low upkeep for second homes
- Understated finishes, suited to the white architecture of the coast
Frequently asked questions
What upkeep does aluminium joinery need in Asilah?
Very little: rinsing with fresh water several times a year is generally enough to remove the salt, along with a gentle clean of the seals. Properly treated, aluminium rarely needs repainting.
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 Asilah?
Through a marine anti-corrosion treatment of the profiles (Qualicoat Seaside), A4 stainless fixings and reinforcements calculated for the winds of the area.
