curtain wall
Product Details
|
There are many definitions of curtain wall, but the common idea is the way loads are transferred. The name is derived from the concept that the exterior building skin hangs on the
superstructure like a drapery and does not bear the weight of the building itself. The term window wall is often used for a special category of curtain walls, made only with glazing
components. Installation Curtain Wall brackets once access to the floor is available we will carry out a site survey to check tolerance of concrete structure and condition of the concrete at the bracket fixing locations that may affect the performance of the drilled anchors. Any faults shall be notified the main contractor for rectification prior to commencement of bracket installation. |

Datum's and gridlines shall be provided by the main contractor at the perimeter of the floor. We will mark bracket locations at the centre line of each unit joint and for the setting of the sill height of each unit in relation to the floor datum level. The brackets are installed to the marked positions with M12 masonry anchors. The brackets can be adjusted, to ensure alignment to the curtain wall unit, via the slotted holes and serrated washers. Once the brackets are aligned the anchors are torque to the appropriate setting. UNI WALL shall check the brackets to ensure correct position, that anchors have been correctly tightened and that serrated washers have been set correctly. Curtain Wall Unit Installation The pallets are opened and each unit lifted out with a mechanical hoist and lowered onto a trolley. The unit is wheeled to the edge of the building and a lifting bar attached to the cable on the crane. (A crane with a single phase electric motor is provided by UNI WALL a minimum of 4 floors above the floor being installed). The unit is hoisted out of the opening and lowered to engage with the unit previously installed on the floor below, and slid sideways to engage with the panel previously installed next to it. The structural splice is slid across from the unit beside it and the head section leveled using the adjustment screws on the bracket arrangement. Detach the crane and proceed with installation of the next unit. Curtain Wall fit-off Apply outer splice/flashing to the head connection to the adjacent panel, bed on sealant and thoroughly seal edges of splice. Apply sealant to the structural splice/flashing thoroughly sealing the perimeter. Apply sealant to the internal vertical joint at head section joint. (Install Fit trims fire-safing and smoke seal as required). Upon completion, clean down the curtain wall internally & externally. |
