How to distinguish the difference between unit curtain wall and frame curtain wall?

First, the characteristics are different.

1, unit curtain wall: the quality of curtain wall is easy to control; The site construction is simple, fast and well managed; Can adapt to large structural displacement; Good waterproof performance; It is easier to meet the requirements of high-performance curtain wall; It can usually meet the needs of the development level of modern architecture.

2. Frame curtain wall: simple design and flexible installation; Materials are easy to store on site; Easy to maintain; The cost is usually lower than the unit curtain wall.

Second, the shortcomings are different.

1, unit curtain wall: the installed unit panel needs to be repaired or replaced, which may be difficult; The structural form determines that the consumption of aluminum profile for unit curtain wall is high, and the cost is usually higher than that for frame curtain wall with the same material.

2. Frame curtain wall: the installation quality and performance of curtain wall are difficult to guarantee; Need a lot of on-site management and quality control work; It is easier to seep water; The allowable structural displacement is very limited; The on-site construction period is long; A large number of assembled parts stored in the floor are easy to be lost and damaged; It is difficult to ensure the installation quality and performance of curtain wall.

Third, the nature is different.

1. unit curtain wall: aluminum alloy skeleton, glass, cushion blocks, thermal insulation materials, damping and waterproof materials, decorative fabrics and other components are made into curtain wall units with additional iron pieces in Fabrika in advance, and then transported to the construction site by special transport vehicles, hoisted and assembled on site, and directly connected with the building structure.

2. Frame curtain wall: transport the components processed in the workshop to the construction site, install the components on the building structure one by one according to the construction technology, and finally complete the curtain wall installation.
