Introduction

Standard Exposed Frame Curtain Wall System Overview

The standard exposed frame curtain wall system uses pressure plates and aluminum caps to mechanically secure glass panels onto the supporting structure. This system provides a stable and straightforward facade solution, allowing for efficient installation, reliable structural performance, and simplified maintenance across a wide range of commercial building projects.

Benefits

Why Use an Exposed Frame Curtain Wall System in Practical Projects

  • Mechanical Fixing for Enhanced Structural Stability

    Glass panels are firmly secured using pressure plates and external aluminum caps, ensuring consistent load distribution and long-term structural reliability.

  • Straightforward Installation with Lower On-Site Complexity

    The system allows sequential installation of mullions, transoms, and glass panels, reducing installation difficulty and improving construction efficiency.

  • Accessible Design for Easy Maintenance and Replacement

    External caps can be removed to access glass panels directly, making repairs and replacements faster and more cost-effective.

  • Clear Grid Appearance for Structured Facade Design

    Visible horizontal and vertical lines create a defined facade pattern, suitable for projects requiring a clean and organized architectural look.

Standard

Exposed Frame Curtain Wall System Design Options

The system supports a variety of glazing configurations, including insulated and laminated glass, to meet different structural and performance requirements. Mullion and transom profiles can be adjusted to accommodate varying building heights and facade layouts.

Surface finishing options include powder coating, PVDF coating, and anodizing to ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term visual consistency. Custom cap profiles and color options are available to match specific architectural styles.
