Structural Glass Facade buildings can be made in three forms: exposed frame, concealed frame, and semi-concealed frame. Exposed frame Structural Glass Facade buildings show the frame and have strong lines; concealed frame hidden frame glass curtain wall buildings hide the main frame, resulting in a very cohesive look; semi-concealed frame hidden frame glass curtain wall buildings fall between the two, combining structural integrity and aesthetics, and can be freely chosen according to different architectural styles.
2. How safe are hidden frame glass curtain wall buildings?
Slim Aluminium frame Facade building frames can use high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel structures (optional and customizable), combined with tempered glass or Low-E glass. The overall wind pressure resistance can reach over 4.5 kPa, meeting the requirements of high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
3. Do Slim Aluminium frame Facade buildings offer energy-saving and sound insulation benefits?
Frameless Glass Curtain Wall buildings are typically equipped with double-glazed Low-E glass, providing excellent overall lighting while effectively reducing heat conduction and lowering building energy consumption; they can achieve a sound insulation effect of 35–40 dB.
4. How to maintain and clean Frameless Glass Curtain Wall buildings?
Structural Glass Facade's structural design is simple and clearly divided, with individual glass and frame components that are easily replaceable, making maintenance very convenient. Cleaning access routes or suspended platform supports can be pre-installed according to the design for easy regular cleaning and maintenance.
5. Can customized designs be provided to meet project requirements?
Absolutely. Etaifeng has a professional design team that can provide professional design solutions based on different building heights, climate conditions, appearance styles, and energy-saving requirements.
Installation Guide of Structural Glass Facade:
The installation process for Structural Glass Facade is relatively simple, but each step requires meticulous operation. Generally, the Slim Aluminium frame Facade's uprights are first fixed to the main structure according to the design drawings, followed by the installation of the crossbeams to form a stable frame. The glass panels are then attached to the Frameless Glass Curtain Wall frame using structural adhesive or mechanical fasteners, adjusting for flatness and sealing. All joints are treated with silicone structural adhesive and sealing strips to ensure airtightness and watertightness.
