What are the classifications of unitized curtain walls?

The unitized curtain wall can be divided into aluminum alloy glass curtain wall, aluminum plate curtain wall (aluminum alloy veneer or composite aluminum plate), steel plate curtain wall, slate curtain wall, ceramic plate curtain wall and combined curtain wall made of the above materials according to their materials. According to the shape, it can be divided into straight curtain wall, broken line curtain wall, arc curtain wall, curved curtain wall and special-shaped curtain wall. According to the structure, it can be divided into framed curtain wall, hidden frame curtain wall and semi-hidden frame curtain wall. Due to the above-mentioned various curtain walls, the building pavement has a novel and changeable architectural shape, a strong contrast between the virtual and the real, and the environment is bright and bright, giving people a popular architectural art image and adding infinite charm to the city.

What are the advantages of unitized curtain wall?

1. After the installation of the unitized curtain wall, between the unit and the unit, due to the pin-shaped connection, it is not necessary to inject silicone sealant (some can also be injected with glue, depending on the installation method)

2. The joints of the frame parts of the unitized curtain wall are closely arranged in a straight line, which is easy to form an excellent external wall image.

3. The location and installation of the embedded parts of the unitized curtain wall require high accuracy.

4. The unitized curtain wall needs to use high-tech design principles. The contractor requires certain advanced design talents and equipment, and a powerful curtain wall company can build the unitized curtain wall.

5. The unitized curtain wall requires a lot of high-tech components, and the shape of the aluminum profile is also more complicated, and the amount of aluminum profile is more. Its shape is slightly higher than the frame curtain wall. (Never twice as high as a framed curtain wall).

What is the function of the profile section structure of the unitized curtain wall?

In the system design of the unitized curtain wall, the design of the profile section is very important. It not only determines the safety and craftsmanship of the unitized curtain wall. It also determines other physical properties of the unitized curtain wall. However, most of the curtain wall designers only focus on the design safety of the profile section through mechanical calculations, while ignoring the contribution of the profile section to other properties. Therefore, the leakage of rainwater in the unit curtain wall is very prominent, and the on-site glue blocking of the free joints between the unit panels has become the main method used by the curtain wall manufacturers in the process of on-site engineering troubleshooting. Although the profile section is not fixed, the design of its section is regular. It must simultaneously consider its safety, manufacturability and structural waterproofing.
