Tempered glass water curtain wall, also known as glass curtain wall, is a new type of curtain wall material, which combines the strength of tempered glass and the decorative effect of water curtain wall, and is widely used in the exterior wall decoration and environmental protection transformation of large buildings such as high-end office buildings, shopping malls and conference centers. The following is a detailed introduction to the tempered glass water curtain wall:
First, basic concepts
Definition: toughened glass water curtain wall is an exterior wall decoration structure composed of toughened glass, and the interior is equipped with an air extraction system, which can generate airflow and form a water curtain, so as to automatically remove dust, haze, smoke and other pollutants, while increasing indoor humidity to achieve good air fresh effect.
Classification: Glass curtain wall according to the different structure and materials, can be divided into single-layer glass curtain wall, laminated glass curtain wall, double-layer glass curtain wall, tempered glass curtain wall and other types. Tempered glass water curtain wall is a special form of tempered glass curtain wall.
Second, material characteristics
Tempered glass: tempered glass is specially treated (such as physical or chemical tempered) glass, its strength is 3 to 5 times that of ordinary glass, and the bending strength is also significantly improved. When the glass is damaged by external forces, the fragments will become obtuse small particles similar to honeycomb, which is not easy to cause serious harm to the human body. In addition, tempered glass also has good thermal stability and resistance to acute cooling and heat properties.
Air extraction system: The tempered glass water curtain wall is equipped with an air extraction system, which can produce air flow and form a water curtain. This design not only increases the decorative effect of the curtain wall, but also realizes the automatic cleaning and air purification function.
- Advantages
advantage
Good decorative effect: the design of the water curtain wall can create a visual effect of cascading waterfalls and water mist, and the lighting effect is better with lighting, becoming a beautiful art.
Air purification: can automatically remove dust, haze, smoke and other pollutants, increase indoor humidity, improve air quality.
High safety: The use of tempered glass improves the overall safety of the curtain wall, and even if the glass is broken, it will not cause sharp fragments to hurt.
Fourth, construction technology
Construction preparations: Prepare tempered glass, water pump, water pipe, waterproof cloth and other materials and construction tools.
Construction steps: including fixing the steel frame of the water curtain wall, installing water pipes, setting glass panels, installing water pumps and lighting, etc.
System test: After installation, system test is required to ensure that the water curtain wall works properly.
- Application prospect
With the continuous improvement of people’s requirements for architectural aesthetics and environmental protection, toughened glass water curtain wall has broad application prospects as a new curtain wall material integrating decoration and environmental protection. In the future, with the combination of curtain wall technology and technology and the promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction policies, intelligent curtain walls such as solar photovoltaic curtain walls and ventilation tunnel breathing curtain walls will continue to emerge to bring more innovation and possibilities to the construction field.
