Prefabricated House Glass Curtain Wall
Prefabricated houses can use glass curtain walls as building envelope structures or decorative structures.
Definition and Types of Glass Curtain Walls
A glass curtain wall refers to a building envelope or decorative structure supported by a structural system that has a certain displacement capacity relative to the main structure and does not share the loads borne by the main structure. There are two types of glass curtain walls: single-layer and double-layer. Single-layer glass curtain walls have a relatively simple structure and lower cost, but their thermal insulation and sound insulation performance are relatively weak. Double-layer glass curtain walls consist of two layers of glass with an air layer in between, effectively improving the building's thermal insulation and sound insulation performance while also reducing energy consumption and enhancing energy efficiency.
Prefabricated House Products with Glass Curtain Walls
There are various prefabricated house products on the market that incorporate glass curtain walls. For example, glass curtain wall container houses feature double-layer, movable, and assemblable characteristics, along with interior decoration, making them suitable for use as offices and classified as modular movable houses. Engineering camp packing boxes with glass curtain wall integrated houses are suitable for temporary construction site structures and can serve as office buildings for movable houses, quick-assembly container houses, etc. Creative vacation homestay sunrooms adopt a modern minimalist wooden villa style, with a gray steel structure frame paired with a glass curtain wall, creating a unique homestay atmosphere.
Installation Process and Requirements for Glass Curtain Walls
The installation of glass curtain walls follows a specific process, including preparation, measurement and layout, installation and treatment of embedded parts, installation of connecting brackets, installation of vertical columns, installation of horizontal beams, fabrication and installation of structural glass assembly components, sealing with weather-resistant silicone sealant, cleaning and inspection, and final acceptance. During installation, strict precision requirements must be met. The installation elevation deviation between adjacent vertical columns should not exceed 3mm, and the front-to-back axis deviation should not exceed 2mm. The horizontal elevation deviation between adjacent horizontal beams should not exceed 1mm. Only by adhering strictly to these requirements can the quality and safety of the glass curtain wall be ensured, allowing it to function effectively as an envelope and decorative structure.
