Glass curtain walls is lightweight aluminum-framed facades housing glass, a building
envelope that is intended to support only its own weight and
withstand the effects of environmental forces such as wind. It is
not intended to support the weight of a roof or floor. Instead,
gravity loads and wind resistance transfer from the surface to the
building’s floor line. Curtain wall systems range from standard
prefabricated systems to specialized custom wall units. Increased
costs often come with additional customization and larger sizing.
There are two main types of curtain walling construction: “stick”
and “unitised”. In stick construction, the curtain wall frame is
constructed mainly on site with mullions and transoms supporting
glass, spandrel panels, metal panels and brise-soleils, connected
piece by piece. Each mullion is usually supported by the floor or
perimeter beams.In unitised construction, on the other hand, the
curtain wall is composed of large units that are assembled in the
factory, shipped to the site and erected on the building. Aluminium
profiles are used to form the frame, which is normally one-storey
high. Aluminium is typically used for facade frames because of its
strength and stability. It is also highly durable, moisture and
corrosion-resistant and 100% recyclable. Opening vents, glazing and
infill panels are built into units before being transported to
site. As with stick construction, each unit is usually supported by
the floor or perimeter beams.
CURTAIN WALLING SYSTEMS
*STICK CURTAIN WALLING
Stick curtain walling systems are versatile and allow for the
integration of other systems, such as sliding doors and windows.
They tend to be less specialised and can be built by all types of
fabricators as they are not dependent on having a large factory.
However, stick systems do require multiple steps to erect and seal
the wall, which means more time is spent on site – an approximate
rule of thumb would be that 70% of the work is carried out on site,
with 30% in the factory. This incurs further costs, such as labors’
time.
UNITISED CURTAIN WALLING
For unitised curtain walling, about 30% of the work is done on
site, while 70% is carried out in the factory. The complete
assembly of the units in the factory brings a number of benefits.
These include:
Another advantage of unitised systems is that, unlike stick
systems, they do not transfer impact noises from floor to floor or
horizontally from room to room. This is because the unitised panels
are separated by linking gaskets. The different materials (ie,
gasket to aluminium), become acoustically excited to different
levels, thus creating full separation at the junctions between
units.
Glass curtain walls are not exclusive to commercial applications.
They also provide viable glazing solutions for residences as well.
We are ONE-STOP-SHOP for building envelopes, outer building skin and
premium FACADES. We offers a range of aesthetical solutions, such as different styles
of face caps from horizontal to vertical lining, to a more
minimalistic look using structural glazing or clamping technologies
and are available in different energy levels, from non-insulated to
super high insulating.
We also offers tailored solutions for those projects that require a
specific architectural design for their aluminum glass curtain walls.
