Burj Dubai, on course to becoming the world's tallest tower, is taking its final shimmering form as installation of curtain wall glass panels commenced on Level 19 of the superstructure, developed by Emaar Properties. Burj Dubai is currently over 125 floors tall and one of the five tallest structures in the world. The first batch of cladding comprises 25 panels, specially fabricated using advanced engineering techniques and air-freighted to Dubai. Made of high performance materials, the curtain wall will enhance the buildings distinctive appearance and seal the interior from the external heat, wind, moisture and noise. "The start of curtain wall installation, ahead of schedule, has been a challenging task and a memorable achievement for us," said Bashar Kayali, GM, Arabian Aluminium Company.
