Curtain walls are the ultimate symbol of contemporary architecture. Praised for their sleek aesthetics and technical performance, they are now a prominent feature on the façades of the most modern buildings in Tunisia, thanks to renowned partners like Tunisia Building Partners (TBP) and GAM Tunisie. Let’s explore how these experts combine elegance, innovation, and technical precision to meet the demands of ambitious architectural projects.
What is a curtain wall?
A curtain wall is a lightweight façade made primarily of aluminium and glass, independent of the building’s structural framework. It consists of a system of extruded aluminium profiles, forming a rigid frame that supports glass or opaque panels. Beyond its visual appeal, the curtain wall serves a critical purpose: protecting the building from weather conditions while maximising natural light.
This solution is increasingly popular for office buildings, shopping centres, hotels, and high-end residential developments, as it combines energy efficiency, security, and contemporary design.
The expertise of TBP & GAM Tunisie: tailored curtain walls
At Tunisia Building Partners, a curtain wall is more than just aluminium joinery; it is a promise of innovation and quality. In collaboration with GAM Tunisie, experts in the design and manufacture of aluminium solutions, TBP offers customised façades tailored to the most demanding requirements.
Each project begins with an exhaustive feasibility study, precise structural calculations, and a meticulous selection of materials. The result? A perfectly integrated, reliable curtain wall that enhances the building’s façade.

Technical Performance: Safety and Durability Above All
The reputation of TBP curtain walls is no accident. They are designed to offer:
- Perfect Watertightness: Innovative drainage systems prevent any water or air infiltration, even during extreme weather conditions.
- Mechanical Resistance: Capable of withstanding wind pressure, thermal variations, and earthquakes. The extruded aluminium structure ensures robustness and lightness.
- Thermal & Acoustic Insulation: High-performance glazing reduces energy loss and provides an effective barrier against noise pollution.
- Easy Maintenance: The materials used guarantee durability, low maintenance, and a preserved appearance over the long term.
The technology developed by GAM Tunisie stands out for integrating structural sealant glazing (SSG) solutions, horizontal strip facades, and traditional curtain walls, allowing adaptation to every architectural configuration.
Architectural Elegance: The TBP x GAM Signature
What is most appealing about a curtain wall is its visual impact. Clear or tinted glazing, slender profiles to maximise transparency, interplay of frames, and harmony of lines: TBP facade solutions allow architects and project managers to bring all aesthetic ambitions to life.
In collaboration with GAM Tunisie, TBP offers:
- Structural Sealant Glazing (SSG): For a sophisticated “all-glass” look, without visible fixings. Ideal for a smooth and uniform facade.
- Pressure Plate Glazing (PPG): Modular fixing, for simplified interventions in case of replacement.
- Traditional Curtain Wall (TRD): A versatile solution, perfect for large spans and various finishes.
- Horizontal Strip Facades: A dynamic, contemporary design, very popular in office projects.
Each configuration enhances natural light and improves indoor comfort, while creating a strong visual link with the urban environment.
TBP Process: Project Support from Start to Completion
The strength of Tunisia Building Partners and its partners lies in a three-key-step process:
- Design and Consulting: A leading-edge design office analyses each project to define the best technical and aesthetic solution.
- Manufacturing and Installation: Aluminium profiles are machined and assembled locally, with millimetric precision and according to international standards.
- Completion and Aftercare: The TBP team provides ongoing support throughout the building’s life, whether for maintenance, upgrades, or future extensions.
