Glass buildings and curtain wall glass facades are one of the most beautiful structures of the modern era. The tall glass towers, wherever they are in the city, display their beauty in front of everyone's eyes. What makes the facade of these buildings unique and incomparable is their curtain wall system. This system has made it possible to provide a uniform and glass view for modern structures. A view that does not need the body of the structure to be stable and stands on its own feet.
Types of Curtain Wall Facade Systems
If we consider all curtain wall facade systems in terms of their strength, longevity and insulation in one value, the main difference between curtain wall facade systems is related to their finished facade. Wall, implementation of infrastructure and installation of vertical (mullion) and horizontal (transm) lamellas in most systems is done in the same way and based on the specific modularization of the project.
In fact, the main difference between curtain wall facade systems can be summarized in the way it is fixed in the space between the lamellas, and this difference in fixing the glass causes a difference in the external appearance of the finished work. It is also possible to install There is a louver or the second shell of the facade on all systems.
Curtain Wall Face Cap (Face Cap)
In the curtain wall face cap (face cap) after installing the vertical and horizontal lamellas, the curtain wall facade glasses are placed in the space between these lamellas. The glass lamellae are fixed in place.
Caps are used in curtain wall face cap, they have different shapes (round, spindle, rectangular) and can be used with different length and depth compared to each other. Imam, the width of these caps does not exceed more than 5 cm. It is clear that the material of these caps is 6063 series aluminum, and there is the possibility of choosing their color based on the architectural design.
In short, in the facade of the face cap system, elements with a width of 5 cm and desired depth can be seen around each facade module, which gives a special beauty to the facade.
Curtain Wall Frame Les (Frameless)
In the frameless curtain wall, unlike the face cap system, there is no cover on the outer surface of the facade. In this system, special structural adhesives are used to fix the glass in the space between the lamellas. After modulating the façade with lamellas, the glass is placed in the aluminum coil again and then fixed in the space between the lamellas.
The result of this work is a relatively uniform outer surface of the glass. The empty space between each module does not exceed 2 cm and is generally filled with glue or EPDM rubber. It is possible to install a hidden opening in curtain wall facade systems. Generally, other curtain wall facade systems can be considered a sub-branch of these two systems.
Curtain Wall view toxic Semi Frameless System
In this system, depending on the architectural design, a cover can be used in one of the horizontal or vertical directions, and in the other direction, rubber or glue can be used to stabilize the glass. Actually, this curtain wall facade system is a unique combination of curtain wall facades. It is a frameless and curtain wall face cap that gives a very different effect to the exterior of the building.
Curtain Wall Yochnel (U Channel)
U-channel curtain wall facade can be considered as a branch of frameless or full frameless facade, with the difference that in this system there is no more aluminum coil around the glass. In this system, special glass spacers and small pieces of Aluminum, which is connected to the lamella at specific intervals, and the puzzle-shaped placement of these parts in the empty space inside Spacero, as well as the use of structure glue, we can achieve a similar appearance to the frameless and Lee appearance with a lower total price. Euchenel curtain wall is not recommended for buildings with a height of more than 20 meters.
Application of all kinds of Curtain Wall Facade Systems
The main applications of the glass wall system can be described in several groups:
Facade of structures:
The main use of glass wall is in facade painting of structures. Glass facades are widely used in high-rise luxury buildings. Of course, this type of facade has not been welcomed in Iran for a long time. But in this short time, beautiful and spectacular structures have been built with this method. We can see the most beautiful structures in the construction of Iranian and foreign villas.
Making glass doors and windows:
Making large glass doors and windows is another application of this system. Curtain wall doors and windows are used in many residential and office structures, villas, and various towers. The large glass curtain wall doors and windows give the structure a look similar to a glass wall.
Construction of glass ceilings:
Construction of glass ceilings is another application. Glass roofs are implemented in some modern and luxury buildings. Structures with glass roofs are among the most beautiful and rare buildings. Having a glass roof that allows you to see the sky day and night from under it and from inside the building is a chance that only structures with a glass roof provide to its residents. Curtain wall glass ceilings can be seen in some modern structures. Glass ceilings are made in two types, fixed and movable.
Partition construction:
Creating curtain wall partitions is another application of this system. Glass partitions with plain or frosted glass can be seen in offices or luxury commercial buildings.
Buy Curtain Wall System
If you also have the construction of a modern structure in your plan and are looking to buy a curtain wall system, it is better to familiarize yourself with its various models first. Knowing the features of each model can help you choose the right curtain wall for your building. Also, before buying a curtain wall system, consult construction companies active in the design and implementation of curtain wall glass walls.
