China Wholesale Curtain Wall with glazing panel and metal panel Structure
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.
Framing methods of Curtain wall
Aluminum curtain wall system includes interior glass curtain wall and outdoor 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 of Commercial Curtain Wall:
●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 the Commercial 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

What is the Function of the Commercial Curtain Wall?
The commercial curtain wall acts the outer covering of a building to protect the building's interior against the exterior natural phenomena such as sun exposure, temperature changes, earthquake, rain, and wind. The protection that the commercial curtain wall offers includes the structural safety and interior environmental control. Here are the main functions of the commercial curtain wall:
●Weatherproofing
Curtain walls shield the building from rain, wind, and other weather conditions, helping maintain a comfortable indoor environment.
●Thermal Insulation
They contribute to the building's energy efficiency by providing insulation, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior spaces.
●Light Infiltration
Curtain walls often incorporate glass panels, allowing natural light to enter the building, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day and enhancing the overall ambiance.
●Aesthetic Appeal
These walls can be architecturally designed to enhance the building's appearance, serving as a key element of the overall aesthetic.
●Structural Support
While they are primarily non-structural, curtain walls can provide some support to the building, particularly in distributing wind loads and seismic forces.
●Space Division
In larger buildings, curtain walls can be used to divide spaces and create separate compartments or sections within a structure.
What Are the 2 Types of Curtain Wall?
There are two main types of commercial curtain walls ---- unitized glass curtain wall and stick curtain wall system. The unitized glass curtain wall typically are constructed with the metal and glass.
What is the Difference Between Curtain Wall and Window Wall?
On the one hand, the window wall needs the support provided by the slab below and above, so it usually be installed within the slab edge. On the other hand, the commercial curtain wall usually requires no support and can span multiple stories, so it usually be installed proud of/beyond the slab edge.
In this section, the author would list the specific differences between curtain wall and window wall.

Curtain Wall
The curtain wall has the following features.
●Non-Structural
Curtain walls are typically non-load-bearing systems attached to the building's frame, often made of aluminum, steel, or other lightweight materials. They hang like curtains from the building's structure.
●Continuous System
These walls span multiple floors and cover large sections of the building's exterior. They consist of a series of interconnected panels and are designed to withstand wind loads and other environmental pressures.
●Design Flexibility
Curtain walls offer a high degree of architectural freedom, allowing for various configurations, shapes, and aesthetic features.
●More Complex Installation
Installation often involves detailed engineering and careful construction due to their larger, multi-story nature.

Window Wall Systems
Here are the main features of window wall systems.
●Structural
Window walls are a type of system where the windows themselves bear some of the building's weight. They are often pre-assembled and installed as units, incorporating both the glazing and the structural components.
●Floor-to-Ceiling Glazing
Window walls typically cover one floor and are characterized by floor-to-ceiling glass panels. They offer expansive views and are common in residential and some commercial buildings.
●Simpler Installation
They are simpler to install compared to curtain walls as they are designed for one-floor sections and come as prefabricated units.
●Limited Design Flexibility
Window walls offer less flexibility in terms of design and customization compared to curtain walls due to their unitized construction.
