Introduction Of Component Curtain Wall
Component curtain wall is another widely used external protection system. Nowadays, Min-aluminum has the most mature technology and the best construction capabilities.
Component curtain wall is a frame supported curtain wall, for which mullions, transoms, and panels are installed on site in a proper order. The panel materials are processed into unit components in the factory and then fixed on the frame which consists of mullions and transoms. The load received by the unit components of the panel materials will be transmitted to the main structure via the mullions (or transoms).
Component Curtain Wall is Classified as following:
● Exposed Frame Curtain Wall: It is a frame supported curtain wall and the components of the metal frame are visible on the exterior of the panel.
● Hidden Frame Curtain Wall: It is a frame supported curtain wall and the components of the metal frame are completely invisible on the exterior panel.
● Semi-hidden Frame Curtain Wall: It is a frame supported curtain wall and vertical or horizontal components of the metal frame are visible on the exterior panel.
Main Features of Component Curtain Wall:
1. With flexible construction methods and mature technique, it is a structural form of curtain wall applied widely at present.
2. With the strong adaptability of the main structure, the installation sequence will not be influenced by the main structure.
3. Using sealant for material sealing, with good water tightness, air tightness, good thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and the ability to resist certain relative storey movement.
4. Unit components of the panel material are made in factory so that the performance of the structural sealant could be well guaranteed.
