How a curtain wall should be coordinated with a structural grid?
The curtain wall has to be coordinated with the structural grid of the building whereby every micro aspect, such as vertical and horizontal divisions, size of panels, junction details, termination details at the rooftop and bottom level, etc. are well addressed.
What is a curtain wall?
Curtain walls are one of the most prominent features in modern buildings. They are placed on the surface of a building, forming a barrier between the interior and exterior of the building structure and act as a protective shield.
What makes a good curtain wall system?
The curtain wall system must carry the required loads and should prevent the collapse or excessive deformation of the structure. It should also be strong, and stiff and should withstand variation with temperature and time, adds Ar. Vivek Bhole, Founder & Principal Architect, Neomodernarch.
Do curtain wall systems meet structural code requirements?
The structural performance of curtain wall systems has to be meticulously analysed and designed to fulfil structural code requirements because façades are subjected to strong environmental actions, says Dinesh Dubey, Director of Operations, Turner Project Management India Pvt. Ltd.
How do curtain walls resist weather forces?
There are three basic methods of resisting all weather forces within a curtain wall system: with a front sealed, fully bedded curtain wall, with a drained and ventilated curtain wall, and with a pressure equalised curtain wall (or rain screen cladding), Ar. Bij explains.
What are the different types of curtain walling?
It reduces the overall sway of the building, thereby making the structure more secure. There are two basic types of curtain walling installations: stick and unitised. In either stick or unitised systems, curtain wall provides superior structural strength.
