Classification of metal curtain walls

At present, metal curtain wall has been widely used in the construction industry, many commercial complexes, public buildings, industrial buildings have adopted metal curtain wall as its facade material. As a professional supplier of metal enclosure systems, Wiskind Architectural Steel has a wide range of metal curtain wall products, such as: COLORPOD ®, COLORGOLD ®, COLORGEM ®, COLORCURTAIN ® sandwich board and CASSETTE ™ broken bridge sandwich board and Brilliant Insulated Curtain Wall.

According to the different material of the panel material, the classification of the metal curtain wall is different, which can be mainly divided into composite aluminum plate, single-layer aluminum plate, honeycomb aluminum plate, sandwich thermal insulation aluminum plate, stainless steel plate, color coated steel plate and other curtain walls.

1. Composite aluminum plate

Composite aluminum plate, also known as aluminum-plastic plate, is divided into ordinary type and fireproof type two. The upper and lower two layers of the ordinary composite aluminum plate are sandwiched between 2mm ~ 5mm polyethylene plastic, which is made by hot processing or cold processing. Fireproof composite aluminum plate is made of two layers of 0.5mm thick aluminum plate and a layer of non-combustible or non-combustible material processing. Composite aluminum plate is a panel material often used in the early appearance of metal curtain wall.

2. Single layer aluminum plate

Single-layer aluminum sheet metal curtain wall is a commonly used decorative panel material, widely used, the current national standards stipulate that its minimum thickness should not be less than 2.5mm, with good steel, light weight, high strength characteristics.

3. Honeycomb aluminum plate

Honeycomb aluminum plate is two aluminum plates in the middle of the honeycomb core material bonding made of a composite material, metal curtain wall with honeycomb aluminum plate should be aluminum honeycomb, honeycomb shape has a hexagonal, flat hexagonal, rectangular, square, cross, flat square, honeycomb aluminum plate with its light weight, high strength, stiffness and many other advantages, has been widely used in building exterior wall decoration.

4. Sandwich insulation aluminum plate

The sandwich insulation board is similar to the aluminum honeycomb board and composite aluminum board, but the core layer material in the middle is different, and the core layer of the sandwich insulation aluminum board is made of thermal insulation material (rock wool, etc.). Wiskind Architectural Steel research and development of high-end metal curtain wall products - COLORCURTAIN ® sandwich panel, using a non-continuous production process, can be customized according to customer needs, superior flatness, visual effect is very wide. The use of high quality roller coated aluminum plate, with good corrosion resistance, improve the overall service life of the building. The interior core material is made of high-density thermal insulation, fireproof and hydrophobic rock wool, which is a metal curtain wall panel integrating fire prevention, thermal insulation and decoration.

5. Stainless steel plate

Stainless steel plate has mirror stainless steel plate, matt stainless steel plate, titanium metal plate and so on. The durability and wear resistance of stainless steel plate are very good, but too thin sheet will bulge, too thick sheet weight and price are very high, so stainless steel plate is not used much, generally only used in the local decoration of metal curtain wall.

6. Color coated steel plate

Color coated steel plate is a kind of steel plate with organic coating, which has good corrosion resistance, bright color, beautiful appearance, convenient processing and forming, and has the characteristics of original strength and low cost of steel plate. The substrate of color coated steel plate is cold rolled substrate, hot dip galvanized substrate and galvanized zinc substrate. The types of coatings can be divided into polyester, silicon modified polyester, polydifluoroethylene and plastisol. It is mainly used in industrial and commercial buildings such as steel structure plant, airport, warehouse and refrigeration.

The metal curtain wall not only has the function of protecting the building structure, but also can give the building a beautiful appearance and improve the overall visual effect. In the current construction industry, metal curtain wall has become an important design element and architectural trend. As the industry's leading supplier of metal enclosure system, wiskind Architectural Steel focuses on green and energy-saving new materials, enables China's manufacturing industry, masters mature design, processing and application technology, and provides customers with a series of thermal insulation, waterproof, sound insulation, energy saving and beautiful metal curtain wall products.
