Structural glass curtain wall

WHAT IS CURTAINWALL?

Curtainwall is a term applied to a widely used facade technology for cladding large buildings. Curtainwall systems do not carry any dead loads imposed from the building structure. They are designed to support their self-weight and to transfer horizontal loads (wind) incident upon them to the primary building structure. 

Curtainwall systems are typically “hung” from the building structure — from whence derives the “curtain” reference — and typically attached to the floor slabs. The primary functions of the curtainwall are to resist air and water infiltration and to provide a thermal barrier between inside and out. Curtainwall systems are also designed to accommodate the complexities of deflections, thermal expansion and contraction, building sway, and relative movements between floors caused by wind or seismic loads acting on the structure. 

Special design considerations can include daylighting, thermal, acoustical, security and blast-resistant performance. Curtainwall designs for large buildings are almost always customized to individual project requirements. 

Point-fixed structural glazing systems are the ideal solution for architects striving to achieve maximum light and transparency within large areas.
HBK Construction Bolted Glazing System comprises the following components: 

1. Spider Arms

These arms are made from stainless steel material grade 304/316.  The function of these arms is to fix the glass panels to the supporting structure.
The arms are placed at either side of a steel fin plate welded to the supporting Steel structure, as shown in the attached details.

2. Glass Fittings

These fittings are machined from stainless steel material grade 316.  The function of these fittings is to fix the glass panel onto the spider arms.
The fittings penetrate the glass panels at each corner through 36 mm / 25 mm diameter holes.

3. Plastic Sleeves and Rubber Washers

The function of these components is to prevent contact between glass and stainless steel and to ensure water & airtightness.
