Curtain Wall Supplier in UK
Hanart supplies curtain wall systems to the UK — London towers and regional commercial projects — engineered to BS EN 13830 performance classes, with UK-compliant documentation, Felixstowe delivery and local erection.
Engineering for the UK performance standard
The UK facade market is one of the most specification-driven in Europe, with London high-rise and mixed-use projects plus a strong regional commercial segment. Facade performance is framed by BS EN 13830 classes — air permeability, watertightness, wind load — with rigorous design and testing expectations.
Hanart engineers and documents its UK packages against BS EN 13830 performance classes, supports CE/UKCA documentation where required, and works with the design team so the envelope satisfies the contract performance specification.
For UK main contractors and developers, Hanart offers a factory-direct alternative to European supply — the same performance discipline, with the cost and capacity advantage of Shanghai fabrication and a clear documentation trail.
Systems selected and documented to the contract air, water and wind classes.
Performance declarations and supporting test evidence for the package.
Felixstowe / Southampton discharge with London and regional delivery.
Engineering coordination with UK architects, consultants and main contractors.
BS EN 13830 alignment and UK logistics
Facade performance follows BS EN 13830 classification, with structural design per site wind loading and UK building regulation fire requirements applied through the project. Hanart's engineering team prepares the documentation package in English for the contract chain.
Logistics route via Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway, with inland delivery to site. DDP/DAP including duty and clearance, or FOB/CIF per contract preference.

Systems we deliver in the UK
Unitized curtain wall for high-rise and commercial towers, stick systems for architecturally complex geometry, structural glazing for feature elevations, and rainscreen cladding systems for façade renewal projects.
Fabrication at the Shanghai plant with full seal testing; panels ship via Felixstowe or Southampton packed and numbered. Programs run 10–16 months from design freeze to completion in the UK market.
The package includes QA documentation, spares, maintenance manuals and a structured warranty — with a documented route if local erection capacity is needed.
Sourcing a curtain wall supplier in United Kingdom
Most United Kingdom facade purchases start the same way: a technical brief, shortlisted suppliers, engineering review, mock-up, fabrication and site installation. Where the chain shortens — and the cost moves most — is keeping engineering and fabrication under one contract, which is how London projects lock the approved price. Both happen at our Shanghai plant, so the price approved before fabrication is the price that holds for your London project.
Engineering for United Kingdom is prepared against BS EN 13830 curtain walling performance classes. Our central engineering team completes structural, thermal, acoustic and fire calculations against BS practice, and licensed local consultants verify the package before fabrication is released.
Panels leave Shanghai with marine-grade packing, customs-classified documentation and numbered installation drawings, routed for Felixstowe. For United Kingdom we typically ship through Felixstowe or Southampton on DDP or CIF terms. Erection is carried out by locally permitted crews under Hanart supervision, with a site QA plan covering setting-out, sealant works and watertightness testing for London conditions.
Typical briefs we price for United Kingdom: airport and transport terminals, office and data-centre towers, hotels and mixed-use developments, retail and education estates.
Facade budgets, programmes and risk for London towers
A realistic facade budget for a United Kingdom high-rise splits roughly 6–10% engineering and testing, 55–70% materials and fabrication, 10–15% logistics, and 15–25% on-site labour. Unitized versus stick-built choice and the performance-testing regime required change the mix — decisions priced early.
For UK projects, cross-border facade supply carries three financial risks: currency movement, duty changes and site-readiness sequencing. Hanart mitigates them with fixed engineering-to-install pricing where scope allows, DDP/DAP terms via Felixstowe or Southampton, and a production schedule sequenced to installation order rather than one bulk shipment.
On site, tolerances, interfaces and weather windows carry the risk in a maritime climate. QA checks joint setting-out, drainage, sealant and watertightness works, and the documented verification record is handed over before possession is taken.
One contract covering design, build and delivery: what it includes
The commercial case for one contract is a single point of responsibility for engineering, cost, quality and schedule. If site conditions alter, the change is agreed end-to-end between your team and ours under one contract — no sub-chain.
