INTRODUCTION TO CURTAIN WALLS
● The wall transfers lateral wind loads that are incident upon it
to the main building structure through connections at floors
or columns of the building.
INFILL MATERIALS USED IN CURTAIN WALLS
● Opening vents, glazing and infill panels are built into units before being
transported to site.
● This system is mostly preferred in high rise structures as 30% of the work
is done on site, while 70% is carried out in the factory.
● Unlike stick systems, they do not transfer impact noises from floor
to floor or horizontally from room to room.
● The external closure and curtain wall caps provide the necessary
rain penetration protection of the joint between the curtain wall
and the precast cladding
