Installation method of anodized aluminum curtain wall

Anodized aluminum curtain wall has become a popular choice for modern building curtain walls due to its excellent weather resistance, decorative properties, and environmental friendliness.

The installation methods mainly include the following:

1、 Frame type curtain wall system

The frame curtain wall system is a common installation method for anodized aluminum curtain walls, mainly composed of the following parts:

Column and crossbeam: The supporting frame that constitutes the curtain wall, usually made of aluminum alloy profiles.

Connectors: Used to connect columns, beams, and aluminum plates, common ones include corner brackets, bolts, etc.

Sealing material: used to fill gaps and ensure the waterproof and airtight performance of curtain walls. Common materials include sealant, rubber strips, etc.

Installation steps:

Measurement and laying out: According to the design drawings, mark the installation positions of columns and beams on the building structure.

Installation of columns: Fix the columns on the building structure according to the marked positions, ensuring verticality and levelness.

Installation of crossbeam: Fix the crossbeam on the column according to the design spacing to form the curtain wall frame.

Installation of aluminum plate: Fix the anodized aluminum plate on the frame through connectors, paying attention to the gap control between the plates.

Glue sealing: Apply sealant at the joint of the aluminum plate to ensure the waterproof and airtight performance of the curtain wall.

2、 Unit type curtain wall system

The modular curtain wall system involves prefabricating the curtain wall panels in the factory and transporting them to the site for hoisting and splicing.

Installation steps:

Prefabricated unit panels: Assemble aluminum panels, insulation materials, frames, etc. into complete unit panels in the factory.

Transportation and hoisting: Transport the prefabricated unit panels to the site and install them using hoisting equipment.

Splicing and fixing: Assemble the unit panels in the design order and fix them with connectors.

Glue sealing: Apply sealant at the joints of the unit panels to ensure the waterproof and airtight performance of the curtain wall.

3、 Point supported curtain wall system

The point supported curtain wall system uses metal connectors to fix aluminum panels to the building structure, creating a transparent visual effect.

Installation steps:

Installation of supporting structure: Install supporting steel frames or cables on the building structure.

Installation of connectors: Install metal connectors on the support structure to secure the aluminum plate.

Installation of aluminum plate: Fix the anodized aluminum plate onto the support structure through connectors.

Adjust fixation: Adjust the position and angle of the aluminum plate to ensure the overall effect of the curtain wall.

4、 Considerations for choosing installation method

Choosing the appropriate installation method for anodized aluminum curtain wall requires consideration of the following factors:

Building height and scale: High rise buildings and large-scale curtain wall projects are more suitable for using modular curtain wall systems.

Curtain wall design and effect: Complex curtain wall designs and transparent visual effects are more suitable for using point supported curtain wall systems.

Construction period and cost: The frame curtain wall system has a shorter construction period and lower cost; The construction period of the modular curtain wall system is relatively long and the cost is high.
