Hidden frame glass curtain wall

Technically speaking, glass curtain wall system generally consists of two major parts: metal components and glass panels, which are fixed to the main structure but not undertaking the main structure load. A hidden-frame curtain wall is a type of glass curtain wall where the glass panes are set into a regular steel frame in a way that largely obscures the frame. Hidden glass curtain wall is regarded a kind of aesthetic and novel building facade as well as a remarkable characteristic of modern high-rise buildings nowadays.

As a rule, curtain wall frame of the hidden frame supported glass curtain wall tends to be concealed at the back of the glass panels so that the metal frame is invisible outside. Hidden frame supported glass curtain wall can be divided into implicit curtain wall and semi-framed curtain wall in the current market. The construction features of the hidden frame glass curtain wall are that glass is outside the aluminum with structural silicone to combine the glass and aluminum and then the glass walls use the fluid sealant to bear the loads in applications.

-Structural glass assembly components are generally produced by the professional manufacturers. In that regard, the glue injection quality and processing accuracy are guaranteed, saving silicone structural sealant.
-The column and beam are blanked by the professional manufacturer, with high processing accuracy and less material waste.
2. Main Features Of Open Frame Glass Curtain Wall
