United Kingdom Curtain Walling Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Market Report I 2025-06-06 I 117 Pages I EMR Inc.
The United Kingdom curtain walling market size reached approximately USD 3.19 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.00% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 4.72 Billion by 2034.
Curtain walls are designed to protect the structural integrity of buildings by optimising their thermal efficiency, controlling their expansion and contraction movements, and preventing the infiltration of air and moisture. They are made from lightweight materials like glass and aluminium, are extremely affordable, and their installation can be customised as per project requirements.
The market is being driven by the increasing innovations in the architectural sector, which is driving the popularity of glass facades and windows in the construction of buildings. The United Kingdom curtain walling market is also gaining momentum due to the upgradation of old structures and modernisation of small and large housing colonies.
Key Trends and Developments
An increase in the construction of high-rise buildings; the emergence of BIPV solutions; the trend of retrofitting; and the high demand for glazed building facades are the major trends impacting the United Kingdom curtain walling market growth.
Oct 20th 2023
Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope launched Reliance-TC LT, a lightweight and cost-effective curtain walling solution.
Sep 20th 2023
A group of Chinese scientists designed vacuum integrated photovoltaic curtain wall systems with the capability of yielding surplus electricity and minimisng electricity consumption.
May 11th 2021
The construction of a world-renowned research facility at the University of Bath was completed with the help of sustainable curtain wall designs.
Mar. 3rd 2021
Bespoke curtain walling systems designed by Kawneer, a leading curtain wall manufacturer in the UK, were used to retrofit offices in the Atlas Building, located in the heart of London.
The construction of high-rise buildings
The rising construction of high-rise buildings is surging the use of curtain walling systems to separate the interior from the exterior.
Rising adoption of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions
The integration of photovoltaic solar cells into curtain walls is likely to drive the United Kingdom curtain walling market growth.
Growing retrofitting trend
The UK government plans to upgrade multiple social housing buildings so that they can achieve an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of C by 2035.
Glazed building facades
The increasing demand for see-though and modern designs for building facades is expected to drive the market development.
United Kingdom Curtain Walling Market Trends
Smart glass, which can easily adjust to changing lighting and varying climatic conditions outside a building is a key breakthrough in the market. Moreover, the integration of photovoltaic solar cells into smart glass has converted them into dual-purpose systems, which can not only generate electricity but can also save material costs for curtain walls. This has enhanced their appeal among building constructors and consumers alike. It is expected that the use of BIPV systems can lead to a reduction in fossil fuel usage, which is driving the United Kingdom curtain walling market.
British households are responsible for 16% of the UK's total carbon emissions and account for 35% of total energy consumed nationally. Due to their poor energy efficiency, the UK government has committed nearly 5 billion pounds as funding support to decarbonise the social housing sector. Since curtain walls play a key role in maximising the thermal efficiency of buildings, it is expected that the trend of retrofitting can lead to the United Kingdom curtain walling market expansion in the forecast period.
