Dear architecture enthusiasts! Today let's talk about aluminum curtain walls, the most common fashionable outerwear in this city. You may think that an aluminum curtain wall is just a wall, but do you know? It has great potential!

How about aluminum curtain wall?

We need to talk about how aluminum curtain walls are. Aluminum curtain wall is a type of building exterior wall decoration material that uses aluminum panels for the exterior facade. It has the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy processing. Buildings decorated with aluminum curtain walls not only have a stylish and elegant appearance, but also improve the insulation, thermal insulation, and sound insulation performance of the building. The residential area where I used to live had aluminum curtain walls, which improved the overall texture significantly.

This does not mean that aluminum curtain walls have no drawbacks. For example, the weather resistance of aluminum curtain walls may be affected by climate, and long-term exposure to sunlight may cause problems such as fading and deformation. Also, the installation cost of aluminum curtain walls is relatively high, which may not be the best choice for some projects with limited budgets.

What tests are required for aluminum panel curtain walls?

We need to talk about what needs to be tested for aluminum curtain walls. Of course, it's the quality of the aluminum plate. The quality of aluminum panels directly affects the service life and performance of aluminum curtain walls. We need to test the thickness, surface quality, corrosion resistance and other indicators of the aluminum plate.

The installation quality of aluminum curtain walls is also very important. This requires testing the skeleton structure, connectors, sealing materials, etc. of the aluminum curtain wall. The quality of these components directly affects the stability and safety of aluminum curtain walls.

We also need to test the overall performance of the aluminum curtain wall, such as insulation, heat insulation, sound insulation, etc. These properties have a significant impact on the comfort of buildings.

What are the installation methods for aluminum panel curtain walls?

When it comes to the installation methods of aluminum curtain walls, several common installation methods need to be mentioned here.

Firstly, the hidden frame installation method. This method involves installing aluminum panels inside the frame of the glass curtain wall, keeping a certain distance between the aluminum panels and the glass. This installation method is suitable for large-area aluminum curtain walls and has the characteristics of beauty and simplicity.

Next is the visible frame installation method. This method involves installing aluminum panels outside the frame of the glass curtain wall, with the aluminum panels tightly attached to the glass. This installation method is suitable for small and medium-sized aluminum curtain walls and has the advantages of convenient construction and low cost.

There is also a dry hanging installation method. This method is to fix the aluminum plate to the wall through embedded parts without the need for a frame. This installation method is suitable for complex shaped buildings and has the characteristics of high flexibility and short construction period.

Aluminum curtain walls play an important role in urban architecture. Although it has some drawbacks, as long as we choose the appropriate materials and installation methods, aluminum curtain walls can become a fashionable outerwear for urban buildings. Next time you pass by those tall buildings, don't forget to check if their "outerwear" is aluminum curtain wall!
