Curtain Wall Window Systems

Feb 18, 2022

Curtain Wall Window Systems - A curtain wall is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, utilized only to keep the weather out and the occupants in. Since the curtain wall is non-structural, it can be made of lightweight materials, such as glass, thereby potentially reducing construction costs. An additional advantage of glass is that natural light can penetrate deeper within the building. The curtain wall façade does not carry any structural load from the building other than its own dead load weight. The wall transfers lateral wind loads that are incident upon it to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building. A curtain wall is designed to resist air and water infiltration, absorb sway induced by wind and seismic forces acting on the building, withstand wind loads, and support its own weight.- Wiki

Framing methods of China Curtain wall

Curtain walls can be classified by their method of fabrication and installation into the following general categories: stick systems and unitized (also known as modular) systems. In the stick system, the curtain wall frame (mullions) and glass or opaque panels are installed and connected together piece by piece. In the unitized system, the curtain wall is composed of large units that are assembled and glazed in the factory, shipped to the site and erected on the building. Vertical and horizontal mullions of the modules mate together with the adjoining modules. Modules are generally constructed one story tall and one module wide but may incorporate multiple modules.


Features:

Glass curtain wall could eliminate or reduce the destructive effect of temperature difference on the building structure (heat expansion and contraction).
Compared with the main structure, it allows a larger displacement, so it can effectively reduce the damage to the main structure by the earthquake.
The weight reduction benefit is obvious. Compared with brick wall concrete, the specific gravity of the curtain wall is much smaller, so it can greatly reduce the load of the main structure, thereby reducing the load-bearing of the basic structure and saving materials.
Create an excellent decorative effect to build a modern city landscape.
Possess good industrialization conditions, easy to install various auxiliary facilities, easy to maintain and maintain.



Application Of Structural Glass Curtain Wall
Ideal for low to mid-rise applications where high performance is desired
4 stories or less, no more than one splice per mullion

A curtain wall is defined as thin, usually aluminum-framed wall, containing in-fills of glass, metal panels, or thin stone.The framing is attached to the building structure and does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building. The wind and gravity loads of the curtain wall are transferred to the building structure, typically at the floor line. Structural glazing is a system which involves bonding glass to the structural framing units of an edifice using a high-strength, high-performance silicone sealant designed and tested especially for structural glazing.
Simply put, it shields the exterior of the building and even protects the interiors. if you are looking for one stop project solution for hidden frame glass curtain wall, ChimGreen is one of the leading manufacturers of glass curtain wall in China, welcome to get customized, projected and new design glass curtain wall, UPVC windows, Aluminum window from our factory.

Components of a curtain wall:

Following are the structural elements of a single curtain wall unit installed on the building structure.
  1. Transom
  2. Mullions
  3. Vision Glass
  4. Anchor

Conclusion


Curtain wall window systems comprise one of the elements of facade technology in high-rise buildings.  Deeper systems provide more support without the need for steel reinforcement. When correctly installed, a curtain wall system provides superior structural integrity because of the fewer joints and mullions required in its installation as compared to a window wall system.
