What is the installation process of the all-glass curtain wall
Preparation phase of construction
Material preparation:
- The first step is to ensure the quality of the glass. The glass used in fully glass curtain walls is usually toughened or laminated glass, which has high strength and safety. The size of the glass should be precisely measured and customised according to the design requirements, as the glass size of a fully glazed curtain wall is generally larger. At the same time, it is important to check whether the glass meets the standards in terms of flatness, transparency and other indicators.
- For the connecting devices between the glass, such as glass ribs, high-strength materials, usually stainless steel, etc., should be used. The specification, type and length of the glass ribs should also be prepared in strict accordance with the design requirements, which will play a key supporting role in the glass curtain wall structure.
Site conditions preparation:
- The main structure of the building must meet the strength requirements for installing the full glass curtain wall. Before installation, the main structure should be inspected and accepted to ensure that its flatness and perpendicularity meet the standards. At the same time, the installation site should be cleaned up to avoid any debris affecting the installation of glass. glass curtain wall is also necessary to set up safety protection facilities, such as scaffolding and safety nets, to ensure the safety of construction personnel.
Glass installation stage
Glass lifting:
- For large glass, a crane is required for lifting. Before lifting, it is necessary to install a good suction cup on the glass, and to ensure that the position of the suction cup is evenly distributed, so that the glass can be balanced in the lifting process
Connection and support structure installation stage
Glass rib installation:
- If there are glass ribs in the curtain wall as the supporting structure, carry out the installation of the glass ribs after the glass is installed in place. The glass ribs are installed according to the position and angle required by the design, and are usually connected to the glass by bolts or clamps. In the connection process, ensure that the connection between the glass rib and the glass is firm, and pay attention to the direction of the force of the glass rib to ensure that it can effectively withstand the weight of the glass and external forces.
Sealing and Fixing Stage
Sealant Infusion:
- In the parts that need to be sealed, such as between the glass and the glass, between the glass and the connectors, the sealant should be instilled. Before filling, the sealing part should be cleaned to remove dust, oil and other impurities to ensure the bonding effect of the sealant. Use the glue gun to fill the sealant evenly into the gap, pay attention to control the thickness and width of the glue, so that it meets the design requirements. After the filling is completed, the sealant should be trimmed to make its surface flat and smooth.
Final fixing:
- Check whether all the connectors and fixings are firm, and tighten the loose parts. After the sealant is fully cured, the installation of the full glass curtain wall is basically completed.
