Our exposed frame supported glass curtain wall system celebrates the beauty of structural expression while delivering uncompromised performance. This sophisticated solution combines the strength of visible aluminum framing with the luminosity of glass, creating buildings that showcase their engineering integrity as much as their transparent elegance.
System Characteristics
Architectural Authenticity: Prominent aluminum mullions and transoms as design features
Structural Clarity: Expressed joints and connections celebrate the building's tectonics
Versatile Configurations: Available in stick-built, unitized, or semi-unitized assemblies
Enhanced Load Capacity: Heavy-duty framing for extra-large glass spans (up to 3m × 5m)
Weather Defense: Multi-stage drainage system with pressure-equalized chambers
Technical Advantages
✔ Maximum Design Flexibility: Accommodates glass thicknesses from 6mm to 25mm
✔ Thermal Performance: Thermally broken profiles achieve U-values as low as 1.2 W/(m²·K)
✔ Seismic Resilience: Movement joints allow for ±50mm structural deflection
✔ Maintenance Accessibility: External access for easy cleaning and component replacement
✔ Cost Efficiency: Optimal balance between premium aesthetics and project economics
