FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding structural support and facade appearance is key when choosing a semi-hidden curtain wall system. The following FAQs highlight essential considerations.

What is a semi-hidden curtain wall system?
It is a curtain wall system where part of the aluminum frame is visible while the rest is concealed behind the glass.
How is it different from a fully hidden frame system?
Fully hidden systems have no visible framing, while semi-hidden systems expose part of the frame for additional structural support.
Is this system more stable than hidden frame systems?
Yes, the exposed framing provides additional mechanical fixing, improving structural reliability.
What design options are available?
You can choose which direction of the frame is exposed, depending on architectural requirements.
Is it suitable for high-rise buildings?
Yes, it provides sufficient strength and stability for mid- to high-rise applications.
