3.Isometric of curtain wall detail
4.Some of the spiders types
1. CURTAIN WALL :
2. APPLICATION: Developed for use in public buildings, schools,
hospitals, universities, office blocks and factories.
1. DEFINITION:
A curtain wall system is an outer covering of a
building in which the outer walls are non-structural,
but merely keep the weather out and the occupants in.
The curtain wall facade does not carry any dead load
weight from the building other than its own dead
load weight
4. some types of glass:
3. dimensions:
dimensions used in my drawings for
curtain wall glass thickness
240mm.
A) laminated safeted glass:
Made in the form of a sandwich consisting of an interlayer
of transparent plastic material such as celluloid between
two sheets of plate or sheet glass.
When one or both sheets of this composite material are
broken the glass adheres to the inter layer so that there is
no danger from the flying fragments.
b :)Tempered or Toughened Glass
Tempered glass is an extremely strong glass which is
heat treated to a uniform temperature of
approximately 650C and rapidly cooled.
If a deep scratch or an impact penetrates the surface,
the glass will break into a number of small particles.
c) soundproof glass:Glass can transmit noise by mechanical
vibration and through air
leaks associated with the glass .
The practical noise control measures are
limited by the properties of glass and other
glazing materials.
As sound is an air-borne phenomenon, noise
control measures can also be strongly
affected by the airtightness of the glass.

CURTAIN GLASS:
Door panels are constructed from , or 10 12 15mm
toughened glass 118mm high x 40mm with wide aluminum
top and bottom rails. Rails are hinged together with
custom design stainless steel hinges.

WE HAVE MANY WAYS FOR A CURTAIN GLASS TO
OPEN AND CLOSE HERE ARE SOME PLAN
EXAMPLES FOR DIFFERENT CASES.

TYPES OF GLASS:
SPANDREL PANEL :
PURPOSE:
Hide areas of your building construction
with spandrel glass. It is combining with
normal vision units to create an effect
that your building is constructed totally
of glass.
Applications
non-vision areas
spandrel glass/wall cladding
curtain walls
DEFINITION:
Spandrel Glass is a heat-processed glass
with ceramic frit permanently fused to the
surface of the glass. Since it is tempered or
heat-strengthened glass, the spandrel glass
is five or two times stronger than annealed
glass and more resistant to uniform loading
pressures and thermal stresses.
