Detailed explanation of the characteristics of three types of curtain wall glass

Glass curtain walls can be seen in many buildings.

It is a new type of contemporary wall. It gives the building different tones from different angles and gives people a dynamic beauty with the changes of sunlight, moonlight and light.

So what are the types of curtain wall glass?

Let’s take a look at it together.

What is curtain wall? Curtain wall is the outer protective wall of a building. It is not load-bearing and is hung like a curtain. Therefore, it is also called a hanging wall. It is a lightweight wall with decorative effect commonly used in modern large and high-rise buildings.

There are three main types of curtain wall glass: 1. Exposed frame glass curtain wall Frame glass curtain wall is a glass curtain wall with metal frame components exposed on the outer surface.

It uses an aluminum alloy profile with a special cross-section as the frame, and the glass panel is fully embedded in the groove of the profile.

Its characteristic is that the aluminum alloy profile itself has the dual functions of skeleton structure and fixed glass.

Exposed frame glass curtain wall is the most traditional form, the most widely used and has reliable working performance.

Compared with the hidden frame glass curtain wall, it is easier to meet the construction technical level requirements.

2. Hidden-frame glass curtain wall The metal frame of the hidden-frame glass curtain wall is hidden on the back of the glass, and the metal frame cannot be seen outdoors.

Hidden frame glass curtain walls can be divided into two types: fully hidden frame glass curtain walls and semi-hidden frame glass curtain walls. Semi-hidden frame glass curtain walls can be horizontally illuminated and vertically concealed, or vertically illuminated and horizontally concealed.

The structural characteristics of the hidden frame glass curtain wall are: the glass is on the outside of the aluminum frame, and silicone structural sealant is used to bond the glass and the aluminum frame.

The load of the curtain wall is mainly borne by the sealant.

3. All-glass curtain wall All-glass curtain wall is a glass curtain wall composed of glass ribs and glass panels.

1. The thickness of the glass of the all-glass curtain wall panel should not be less than 10mm; the thickness of the single piece of laminated glass should not be less than 8mm; the thickness of the cross-section of the glass curtain wall rib should not be less than 12mm, and the cross-sectional height should not be less than 100mm.

2. When the glass curtain wall exceeds 4m (glass thickness 10, 12mm), 5m (glass thickness 15mm), 6m (glass thickness 19mm), the full glass curtain wall should be hung on the main structure.

3. The main components for hanging the all-glass curtain wall should have sufficient stiffness. When steel trusses or steel beams are used as stress-bearing components, their center lines should be consistent with the center lines of the curtain wall. The center lines of the elliptical screw holes should be consistent with the position of the curtain wall hanger anchors.

consistent.

4. A rigid horizontal force transmission structure should be installed between the hanging clamp and the main structure of the suspended all-glass curtain wall.

5. After all steel structures are welded, the concealed engineering acceptance should be carried out. After passing the acceptance, anti-rust paint should be applied.

6. The size of the glass panels of all-glass curtain walls is generally larger and should be installed using mechanical suction cups.

7. The all-glass curtain wall allows silicone structural sealant to be injected on site.

8. All-glass panels must not be in direct contact with other rigid materials.

The gap between the board surface and the decorative surface or structural surface should not be less than 8mm, and should be sealed with sealant.

Summary: Regarding the types of curtain wall glass, do you still need to use your own money for decoration?
