The curtain wall is the external maintenance wall of the building

 We know that the curtain wall of steel structure building is actually the building's outer wall envelope structure, although it does not bear load, but relative to the main structure, it has a certain displacement ability or its own deformation ability.

It is a light decorative wall commonly used in modern large high-rise buildings. It consists of a panel and a supporting structural system. Decorative curtain wall basically has adornment effect, let us have a further understanding.

How to distinguish between walls and decorative curtain walls:

The glass curtain wall belongs to the maintenance structure and plays a basic role of enclosure. Decorative curtain wall: can be regarded as a building component, do not need to exist.

The definition of glass curtain wall is as follows: Building curtain wall: a building exterior wall or decorative structure composed of supporting structural system and panels, which has a certain displacement capacity compared with the main structure and does not share the role of the main structure. Glass curtain wall: Building curtain wall with glass as panel material.

hether the glass curtain wall is the key depends on whether the glass structure and the main structure of the whole building have a certain displacement capacity and do not share the role of the main structure. If the glass-supported foundation comes from the main body of the building, such as a steel structure supporting glass or aluminum alloy supported by columns, beams or walls of the main building, it cannot be called a glass curtain wall.

The curtain wall of the steel structure building can be understood as the external maintenance wall of the building. If there is a requirement of indoor heat preservation and waterproof, insulating glass or bonded glass should be used. Fire prevention and other measures should be taken between the floors. But if the decorative curtain wall does not have such a requirement, the decorative curtain wall is actually mainly based on the block, as long as beautiful, generally using glass or bonded glass, generally no inter-layer fire prevention facilities.
