One area where the thermal insulation qualities of pultruded profiles and their capacity to ensure a perfect seal between the parts are appreciated and used is in the construction of rainscreens and curtain walls. In this case too, fibreglass pultruded profiles are very important because they foster high energy performance, reduced consumption and, more generally, respect and care for the environment. Innovation in architecture The architect's role is to interpret the space of contemporary humans; they need to focus on the needs of modern humans both in terms of using the space and for everything revolving around the materials that occupy and give form to that space. So, contemporary architects need to respond to new needs that concern the energy performance of buildings and homes, on the one hand, and the endurance and efficiency of the materials used in the building industry, on the other. Pultruded profiles respond particularly well to the new functional and aesthetic demands of modern life. Their use in the construction of rainscreens and curtain walls is a response to the current demands for: energy efficiency: pultruded profiles play a very important part in buildings of energy efficiency class A. Their thermal insulation properties mean they can assure energy performance levels that difficult to achieve with traditional materials like steel and aluminium; light-filled, bright indoor environments: pultruded profiles are widely used in northern Europe, where sunshine is a premium and architects need to bring as much sunlight inside homes and workplaces to make them brighter and warmer.
