Exposed frame curtain wall is a classic form of frame-supported curtain walls, where the metal support framework (beams and mullions) is visible on the exterior of the glass panels.
The system secures and separates glass units using metal profiles and follows an on-site assembly method, directly connecting the structural frame to the main building.
It is commonly used in mid-to-low-rise buildings or for specific façade designs, offering both functional and decorative benefits.
– Bold Visual Expression: The exposed metal framework enhances the façade with strong linear elements, creating a modern, industrial aesthetic ideal for minimalist or futuristic designs.
– Diverse Profile Options: Supports customization of square, curved, and irregular cross-sections, combined with anodizing and fluorocarbon coating techniques for unique metal textures, colors, and patterns.
– Wind & Seismic Resistance:The exposed frame directly bears structural loads, ensuring a clear load transfer path and withstanding strong winds and seismic activity.
– Optimized Weather Resistance:UV-resistant coated aluminum and corrosion-resistant glass make it suitable for coastal, high-humidity, and heavy rainfall environments, extending lifespan.
– Thermal Break Technology:Built-in specific thermal PA66 barriers within the metal frame effectively reduce heat transfer, improving energy efficiency by 15%-30%.
– Airtight & Waterproof System:Multi-layer sealing (gaskets + structural silicone) with concealed drainage channels prevents water infiltration and balances internal and external air pressure, ensuring indoor comfort.
– Modular Construction: Standardized components enable fast on-site assembly and allow for local panel replacements without affecting the overall appearance, reducing maintenance costs.
– Thermal Expansion Adaptability: Expansion joints in the frame prevent cracking or seal failure due to temperature variations.
– Controlled Costs:Standardized production minimizes material waste, while efficient transportation and storage reduce logistics expenses, making it ideal for budget-conscious projects.
– Adaptability for Custom Shapes: Flexible panel sizing and segmentation allow for curved façades, slanted curtain walls, and other complex architectural designs.
