What equipment tools are needed for glass curtain wall construction and installation

1, support system. The various loads on the surface glass are directly transferred to the main structure of the building. Therefore, it is the main force components, generally according to the size of the load bearing and architectural shape to the structural form and materials, such as glass ribs, stainless steel columns, aluminum columns or plus appropriate anti-corrosion, anti-face treatment of steel analysis frame, steel columns and stainless steel tie rods (ropes) and so on.

2, metal connectors. Metal connectors including fixed parts (commonly known as claw seat and claw) and fasteners. Fixed parts are usually cast from stainless common steel, while fasteners are stainless steel machined parts. In view of metal compatibility, the claw holders must be made of the same material as the supporting system or mechanically fastened. The metal connector is the essence of point-of-construction technology.

It will face the glass fixed in the supporting structure not only produces additional stress on the edge of the glass hole, but also allows a small amount of displacement to regulate the construction error due to the building installation, while there are also vibration-damping measures to improve the seismic capacity, and therefore the design of the design is a variety of factors to consider.

Metal connectors also produce significant decorative effect, so it is in addition to meet the functional requirements, but also have a beautiful molding design and fine processing and manufacturing, play a "finishing touch" role.

3, glass. Architecture point glass curtain wall glass, due to the drilling of holes and lead to the glass edge of the hole to reduce the strength of about 30%, so the construction of point glass curtain wall must be used with high strength tempered glass (tempered glass impact strength is 3-5 times that of float glass, bending strength is 2-5 times that of float glass).

Tempered glass is another important feature is the use of safety, in the event of a large external force and the destruction of small pieces without sharp edges (commonly known as "glass rain"), not easy to hurt people.

Expanded

Tempered glass has two main advantages, the first is the strength of ordinary glass several times, bending strength of ordinary glass is 3 to 5 times the strength of ordinary glass, impact strength of ordinary glass 5 to 10 times to improve the strength of the same time improve the safety. The use of safety is the second main advantage of tempered glass, its increased carrying capacity to improve the fragile nature, even if the tempered glass damage is also no sharp angle of the small fragments, the harm to the human body has been greatly reduced.

Tempered glass resistance to rapid cold and heat properties compared to ordinary glass is 2 to 3 times higher, generally can withstand temperature changes of more than 150LC, to prevent thermal cracking has an obvious effect.

Tempered glass according to the production method can be divided into chemical tempering method and physical tempering method. Physical tempered glass Physical tempering method is currently widely used at home and abroad, which is quenched according to the different cold medium, can be divided into air-cooled tempering, liquid-cooled tempering and cooling plate tempering.
