How is curtain wall installed?

Curtain walls are typically installed by attaching them to the structural frame of the building, either at the floor slab or at the top of the building. The specific installation process will depend on the type of curtain wall being used.

For stick-built curtain walls, the individual pieces of framing are typically assembled on site to create the curtain wall. The glass or infill materials are then installed in the frames using glazing beads or clips.

Unitized curtain walls are pre-assembled units that can be quickly installed on site. They are typically lifted into place using cranes or hoists and then secured to the building using anchors or bolts.

Structural silicone glazed (SSG) curtain walls use a structural silicone sealant to hold the glass or infill materials in place, eliminating the need for framing or clips. These curtain walls are typically installed by attaching them to the structural frame of the building and then applying the structural silicone sealant to hold the glass or infill materials in place.

Overall, the installation of curtain walls requires careful planning and coordination to ensure that the curtain wall is properly anchored to the building and that all of the components are correctly installed and sealed.
