Glass Curtain Wall 1. Point Supported Glass Curtain Wall 2. Exposed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall 3. Hidden-Frame Glass Curtain Wall
Project case
Point Supported Glass Curtain wall is made by glass panel, point support fittings, structure and accessories. Glass panel, spider fittings, and steel structure are the main material
Glass panel For glass panel, insulated glass, laminated glass, laminated insulated glass or single layer tempered glass are your choices. Insulated glass thickness normally is: 6mm clear glass + 12mm air bar+ 6mm clear glass 6mm low-e glass + 12mm air bar+ 6mm clear glass 6mm reflective glass + 12mm air bar + 6mm clear glass 8mm low-e glass + 12mm air bar+ 8mm clear glass 8mm reflective glass + 12mm air bar + 8mm clear glass Low-e glass is most energy saving, and reflective is not ideal Clear insulated glass is not energy saving at all
Glass panel Laminated glass thickness normally is: 6mm clear glass + 1.14mm pvb+ 6mm clear glass 8mm clear glass + 1.14mm pvb+ 8mm clear glass 8mm clear glass + 1.52mm pvb+ 8mm clear glass 10mm clear glass + 1.52mm pvb+ 10mm clear glass 6mm tinted glass + 1.14mm pvb+ 6mm clear glass Laminated glass is not as good as insulated glass for the Energy saving. But it is also very good at safety.
Glass panel Single tempered glass thickness normally is: 10mm single tempered glass 12mm single tempered glass Single layer tempered glass is most economical, And the safety, energy is not good as insulated Glass, or laminated glass
Spider fittings Spider is connector between glass and structure. And due to some part of the spider will be exposed to the air, so it need to be waterproof and anti-corrosion. All spider fittings is with stainless steel to get this feature.
Spider fittings Specification : Size: 250mm, 220mm, 200mm, Arm: 4, 3, 2,1 arms, Grade: SS316, SS304 Surface: stain, or mirror
Structure Steel structure is party to load the weight of the curtain wall, so steel is very good choice. The steel pipe can be square, also can be round. But round is more beautiful for the system.
Other accessories : Postposition embedded parts Chemical anchor bolt reinforced steel bar Fluorocarbon paint Silicone sealant Masking paper Electrode rod
Project case: Exposed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall
Exposed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall Exposed Frame Glass Curtain Wall is made by glass panel frame, structure, and accessories.
Glass panel Insulated glass is the main glass type for are your choices. Insulated glass thickness normally is: 6mm clear glass + 12mm air bar+ 6mm clear glass 6mm low-e glass + 12mm air bar+ 6mm clear glass 6mm reflective glass + 12mm air bar + 6mm clear glass 8mm low-e glass + 12mm air bar+ 8mm clear glass 8mm reflective glass + 12mm air bar + 8mm clear glass Low-e glass is most energy saving, and reflective is not ideal Clear insulated glass is not energy saving at all Argon gas also can be filled to make the curtain wall more good at Energy saving Exposed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall
Exposed-Frame Glass Curtain Wall Structure Aluminum profile structure is the most common material for structure, And it is the party to load the weight of the curtain wall. The thickness of aluminum can be 3.0mm, 2.5mm, and even can be 2.0mm if design is ok The surface treatment can be Power coated, Fluorocarbon coated Thermal break type aluminum is more and more used.

Project case: Hidden-Frame Glass Curtain Wall
Hidden-Frame Glass Curtain Wall Hidden Frame Glass Curtain Wall is similar with the exposed glass curtain wall, difference is the way to hold the glass. Exposed frame glass curtain wall is made via the glass inlayed into the Aluminum profile Hidden frame wall is made by the vice frame between the glass and the aluminum profile.
