Curtain wall system is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, utilized to keep the weather out and the occupants in. Since the curtain wall is non-structural, it can be made of lightweight materials, thereby reducing construction costs. When glass is used as the curtain wall, an advantage is that nature light can penetrate deeper within the building.
Insulated Glass Unit is a good material for curtain wall, it is also called double glazed glass, refers to two or more lites of glass sealed around the edges with an air space between to form a single unit.
Advantages low e insulated glass curtain wall: 1) Two panels of the glass with low-e protection and insulating argon between the panes, it can help blocks 86% of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. If three panels of the glass will increased energy efficiency, the anti-UV may up to 88% or more. 2) Safety and structural stability, a curtain wall isn’t intended to provide for structural stability, but it does reduce the sway of the building overall, thereby making the structure more secure. 3) Glass curtains can enhance the appearance of buildings to create a beautiful façade. 4) Curtain walls can also provide added protection against the spread of fire, especially in high-rise building.
