What is hidden frame glass curtain wall?

The use of glass curtain walls to decorate buildings is a method often seen at present, which represents the overall beauty of modern high-rise buildings. With the advancement of technology, a hidden frame glass curtain wall has been developed. So what is a hidden frame glass curtain wall, and what are its classification and characteristics? Let me give you a detailed introduction.

The hidden frame glass curtain wall is to bond the glass with silicone structural sealant to the aluminum frame. In most cases, no metal connectors are added. Therefore, the aluminum frame is completely hidden behind the glass, forming a large-area all-glass mirror. Hidden frame glass curtain wall is divided into integral hidden frame glass curtain wall and separated hidden frame glass curtain wall:

(1) Integral hidden frame glass curtain wall This is the earliest generation of hidden frame glass curtain wall. The glass of this kind of curtain wall is directly fixed and bonded to the frame of the curtain wall aluminum alloy structure by silicone sealant. When installing the glass, it is necessary to use an auxiliary fixing device to position and fix the glass on the frame of the curtain wall, and then glue it. The auxiliary device can be removed only when the sealant is cured and can withstand the set load. The safety and reliability of this kind of curtain wall are poor, and it is extremely difficult to replace the glass. Nowadays, it is rarely used in large-area glass curtain walls.

(2) Separate hidden frame glass curtain wall Separate hidden frame glass curtain wall is to first fix the glass on a sub-frame by means of structural assembly, so that the sub-frame and the glass form a structural component, and then use bolts to fix the structure The components are fixed on the main frame. This glass installation method is divided into different methods of fixing the structural glass components on the main frame: built-in type, external buckle type, externally mounted fixed type, externally mounted fixed type, etc.
