Structural features of unit glass curtain wall:

First, the units that make up the glass curtain wall (frame material, glass, thermal insulation material) are assembled into a whole frame in a specialized factory, and then transported to the construction site. On the construction site, only one curtain wall unit needs to be installed and fixed on the main structure of the building in sequence.

Because the columns are connected, their specifications should be consistent with the storey height and column spacing. When connecting with floors or beams, the height of the curtain wall should be equivalent to the storey height or a multiple of the storey height; when connecting with columns, the width of the curtain wall should be equal to the column spacing.

The advantages of unitized glass curtain wall:

The installation on the construction site is simple and fast, and the construction period of the project is shortened. The disadvantages are: inconvenient transportation and storage, high lifting requirements on the construction site, easy to cause damage, large consumption of unilateral materials, and high cost.

Advantages:

1. Resistance to wind pressure deformation
2. Rain water leakage (water tightness)
3. Air penetration (air tightness)
4. In-plane deformation (seismic resistance)
5. Thermal engineering (heat preservation)
6. Sound insulation
7. Lightning protection
8. Fire prevention
9. Environmental protection
10. Sound absorption
11. Beautiful and decorative
12. Energy saving
