What are the structural characteristics of Unit curtain wall?

1. The height of the Unit curtain wall is the ground height, and the width is generally about 1.2 ~ 1.5m. Therefore, the power transmission is simple and convenient, and can be directly hung on the ground embedded parts, which is convenient for installation.

2. The single machine is processed in the factory, and the materials such as glass and aluminum plate can be assembled on the single machine in the processing factory, which is conducive to the industrialization of construction.

3. The unit components are assembled in the processing plant, which is convenient for inspection in the factory and is conducive to ensuring the overall diversity quality and engineering quality of the curtain wall.

4. The Unit curtain wall can be installed from bottom to top, and can be constructed synchronously with civil engineering, which greatly shortens the construction period of the project.

5. All works of the unified curtain wall can be carried out on the ground, and large scaffolds and cranes can be saved during installation.

6. The structural design of Unit curtain wall installation and connection interface can absorb the interlayer displacement and deformation of the unit, and generally can withstand large construction displacement, which is especially conducive to high-rise buildings and metal structure buildings.

7. Unit curtain wall can be adopted to realize and maintain double-layer waterproof system.


What is the definition of Unit curtain wall?

The Unit curtain wall is composed of multiple independent units. All plate installation and sealing of joints between plates are processed and assembled in the factory. The construction shall be carried out simultaneously (with a difference of 5-6 floors). Usually, each unit has a height of one floor (or two or three floors) and a spacious compartment. The unit consists of yin and Yang. The adjacent unit parts are inserted into each other to form a combined rod, so as to form the connection between the unit parts. The first piece of the unit is directly fixed on the main structure, and the load borne by the first piece of the unit is directly transmitted to the main structure.


What is the economic benefit of Unit curtain wall?

The factory processing of unified curtain wall is easy to realize industrial production, reduce labor cost and control unit quality; A large number of processing preparations are carried out in the factory, which shortens the construction period and construction cycle of the on-site curtain wall and brings benefits to the owner. More economic and social benefits.
