The primary use of curtain wall back pans is in the building cladding system, where they are installed at the backside of the spandrel glass and opaque areas. In some applications, back pans are placed behind metal cladding panels.

Curtain Wall Back pans provide excellent thermal and moisture protection while being fire retardant and sound-absorbing.
