Glass curtain walls in modern buildings use a combination of mirrored and ordinary glass as well as insulating glass filled with dry air or inert gases.The insulating glass is divided into two and three layers.Double insulating glass consists of two layers of glass and a sealed frame to form a mezzanine space.

Triple glass consists of three layers of glass to form two sandwich Spaces.Insulating glass has the advantages of sound insulation, heat insulation, frost protection, moisture protection, increased lighting and high wind pressure resistance.However, there are also problems such as light pollution and high energy consumption.So what are the advantages and disadvantages of glass curtain wall?Then with the professional curtain wall manufacturers to understand together.

Analysis of advantages of glass curtain wall

Glass curtain wall is a new type of contemporary wall.The biggest characteristic it endows the building is the organic unity of architectural aesthetics, architectural function, architectural energy saving and architectural structure.The buildings appear in different hues from different angles and change with the sunlight.The moon, the moonlight and the changes of light give a dynamic beauty.For example, reflecting insulating glass.

The reflective insulating glass is 6mm thick and the wall weighs about 50kg /㎡.It has the advantages of light weight, beautiful appearance, not easy to pollute and energy saving.Trace metal elements are added to the float glass composition and tempered to produce colored and transparent plate glass, which can absorb infrared rays, reduce solar radiation entering the room and reduce indoor temperature.

It not only reflects light like a mirror, but also transmits it like glass.The inner side of the exterior glass of the curtain wall is coated with colored metal coating.From the outside, the whole exterior wall looks like a mirror.Under the reflection of light, the room is not exposed to strong light, and the view is soft.

Analysis of defects of glass curtain wall

Glass curtain walls also have some limitations, such as light pollution and high energy consumption.The curtain wall of the building shall be coated glass or coated glass.When direct sunlight and skylight hit a glass surface, the reflected glare is caused by the specular (i.e. positive) reflection of the glass.

However, this problem is not without solutions. With the development of glass curtain wall technology and the continuous emergence of new material technologies, there will be alternatives to the existing glass curtain wall materials used in buildings, which can better solve the problem of light pollution and energy consumption.

The above content on the advantages and disadvantages of glass curtain wall, I hope to help to bring you, we are from China's professional glass curtain wall supplier - Jingwan Engineering, welcome you to consult.
