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 commercial hidden frame glass curtain wall in China, welcome to get customized, projected and new design glass curtain wall, UPVC windows, Aluminum windo from our factory.

Framing methods of 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.
Types of Curtain Wall System
Curtain walls are precast at a factory and assembled before they are brought to the site. Basically, there are two types of curtain wall systems depending on the method by which the components are assembled.- Stick Curtain Wall System
- Unitized Curtain Wall System
Stick Curtain Wall System:
In this type of curtain wall system, the components are assembled piece by piece on the structure of the building. This system is mainly used for low-rise buildings or in small regions. This is due to the fact that for reaching higher elevations it is important to have exterior access. This system promises flexibility as it gives space for onsite adjustments. Though it has the advantage of low shipping costs, the labor and time consumption should not be underestimated as tend to run quite high.Unitized Curtain Wall System:
In this type of curtain wall system, the parts are already assembled in the factory. The components are installed and brought as a single unit from the factory to the site. This negates the need for individual installation. The size of the unitized curtain walls is directly proportional to the floor to floor height of the structure. Popular in high-rise buildings, they don’t need external supports such as cranes or scaffolding. Only mini cranes or temporary hoist are needed. This system offers the benefits of quick construction and good quality as the components are manufactured in a factory setting. However, this type of curtain wall system tends to increase the shipping charges due to need for larger and better protection during transportation to the site.Components of a curtain wall:
