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 it uses an on-site assembly method to connect the structural frame directly to the main building.
It is commonly seen in mid-to-low-rise buildings or for specific façade designs, offering both functional and decorative benefits.
Sunframe’s exposed frame curtain walls are built with AAMA 2605 high-performance coating and AS4284 façade testing compliance, plus ISO 9001 quality system.
These ensure excellent: water and air tightness, structural load resistance, corrosion & UV durability.

Unified Design: Operable sashes and fixed curtain walls fully aligned for a seamless look.
– Bold Visual Expression: The exposed metal framework enhances the façade with strong linear elements, creating a modern industrial look perfect for minimalist or futuristic styles.
– Diverse Profile Options: The system can support customized square, curved and irregular cross-sections, and combine anodizing and fluorocarbon coating technology to create unique metal textures, colors and patterns.
– Wind & Seismic Resistance: The exposed frame directly bears structural loads, which can ensure 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.
– Certified Quality: SunFrame’s exposed frame curtain walls are engineered to meet international standards, including:
AAMA 2605: With high-performance fluoropolymer coating for superior UV and corrosion resistance.
AS4284: Having passed the comprehensive system testing for water, air and structural performance.
ISO 9001: Guaranteeing a certified quality management system with consistency and reliability.
– Thermal Break Technology: The metal frame has a built-in dedicated PA66 insulation layer, which effectively reduces heat transfer and improves energy efficiency by 15%-30%.
– Airtight & Waterproof System: Multi-layer sealing (gaskets + structural silicone) with concealed drainage channels prevents water infiltration and meanwhile balancing internal and external air pressure, ensuring indoor comfort.
– Modular Construction: Standardized components enable both fast on-site assembly and local panel replacements with the overall appearance unaffected. And so it can reduce maintenance costs.
– Thermal Expansion Adaptability: Expansion joints in the frame prevent cracking or seal failure because of its temperature variations.
– Controlled Costs: Standardized production minimizing material waste with the efficient transportation and storage reducing logistics expenses make it ideal for budget-conscious projects.
– Adaptability for Custom Shapes: Flexible panel sizing and segmentation can realize the curved façades, slanted curtain walls, and other complex architectural designs.
