A reflective glass curtain wall is a building envelope or decorative structure whose supporting structure allows for a certain degree of displacement relative to the main structure and does not share in the forces exerted on the main structure. Walls are available in single-glazed and double-glazed configurations.
Basic Classifications
Frame-Supported
Frame-supported glass curtain walls are glass curtain walls with a metal frame surrounding the glass panels. They primarily include:
Exposed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall
Exposed-frame glass curtain walls feature an exposed metal frame. They utilize aluminum alloy profiles with special cross-sections as the frame, with the glass panels fully recessed within the profiles. Their unique characteristic is that the aluminum alloy profiles themselves serve both as the structural frame and as a means of securing the glass.
Concealed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall
The metal frame of a concealed-frame glass curtain wall is concealed behind the glass, making it invisible from the outside. Concealed-frame glass curtain walls can be categorized as fully concealed-frame and semi-concealed-frame. Concealed-frame glass curtain walls feature glass positioned outside the aluminum frame, bonded to the frame using silicone structural sealant. The load of the curtain wall is primarily borne by the sealant.
Full-Glass Curtain Wall
A full-glass curtain wall is composed of glass ribs and glass panels.
1. The thickness of the glass panels in a full-glass curtain wall should not be less than 10mm; the thickness of a single laminated glass sheet should not be less than 8mm; the cross-sectional thickness of the glass curtain wall ribs 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), or 6m (glass thickness 19mm), the full-glass curtain wall should be suspended from the main structure.
Unitized Curtain Wall
Unitized curtain wall refers to a building curtain wall that is factory-assembled from various wall panels and a supporting frame, and then directly installed on the main structure. Unitized curtain walls can be mainly divided into unitized curtain walls and semi-unitized curtain walls, also known as rigid unitized curtain walls. Semi-unitized curtain walls can be further divided into vertical unitized curtain walls and window wall unitized curtain walls.
