About Large Curtain Wall System

 

 

The GR145 Series is a high-performance, unitized curtain wall system designed for large-scale commercial and institutional facades. Manufactured in Foshan, China, it combines structural aluminum framing (main profiles 2.5mm wall thickness) with advanced glazing options to create weather-tight, energy-efficient building envelopes.

 

Key Features of Large Curtain Walls:

 

  • Strong: They're built to handle really heavy winds and even earthquake movement. The main parts use thick aluminum (2.5mm) to keep everything stiff and solid.
  • Weathertight: We've designed special seals that keep water out and stop drafts, even when the pressure difference between inside and outside gets really strong during storms.
  • Energy Efficient / Warm: They get excellent insulation values (low U-values). We use thermal breaks and high-performance glass, like double-paned units with Low-E coatings. This also means you're much less likely to get condensation forming.
  • Quiet: They do a great job blocking outside noise, which is perfect if you're in a busy city or near loud areas.
  • Long-Lasting: Made from top-quality aluminum alloy (T3-T8 temper) with finishes that resist corrosion, so they'll hold up for decades outdoors.

 

Types of Large Curtain Walls:

  • Stick-Built System

Assembled piece-by-piece on-site.

Cost-effective but labor-intensive.

Best for mid-sized projects with flexible timelines.

  • Unitized System

Prefabricated modular panels installed quickly.

Higher precision and faster installation.

Ideal for tall buildings with tight schedules.

  • Semi-Unitized System

Hybrid approach combining stick and unitized methods.

Balances cost and efficiency.

 

Materials Used:

  • Framing: Aluminum (most common due to lightweight and corrosion resistance), steel (for high-strength needs).

  • Glazing: Tempered, laminated, or insulated glass (Low-E coatings for energy efficiency).

  • Spandrel Panels: Metal, stone, or opaque glass to hide structural elements.

  • Sealants & Gaskets: Silicone for waterproofing and flexibility.

 

Applications:

  1. High-Rise Office Towers
  2. International Airports & Transport Terminals
  3. Luxury Hotels & Resorts
  4. Major Stadiums & Arenas
  5. University Campuses & Hospitals
  6. Flagship Retail & Shopping Centers
  7. Government & Institutional Buildings
  8. Mixed-Use Developments

 

Advantages:

Natural Light Maximization – Reduces artificial lighting needs.

Modern Aesthetics – Sleek, contemporary appearance.

Design Flexibility – Can incorporate curves, angles, and mixed materials.

Energy Efficiency – Low-E glass and thermal breaks improve insulation.

 

Challenges:

High Initial Cost – More expensive than traditional walls.
Complex Installation – Requires skilled labor and precise engineering.
Maintenance Needs – Sealants and gaskets may degrade over time.

Feature And Application

 

We build the GR145 for architects and developers tackling complex, high-rise projects. It's a pre-assembled unitized system – meaning we fabricate complete wall panels in our controlled factory environment. You get faster site installation, tighter quality control, and consistent performance, backed by ISO9001, CQC, and SAIGLOBAL AS2047 certifications. Forget stick-built delays; this is large-scale efficiency.

 

Curtain walls can be glazed, opaque, or include infill panels. They can also contain architectural features like brise soleil, external fins, or photo-voltaic panels.

 

What Sets the GR145 Apart

  • Heavy-Gauge Aluminum: 2.5mm main structural profiles (Alloy) for uncompromising strength.
  • Finish Flexibility: Choose Anodized, PVDF Fluorocarbon Powder Coating, Electrophoresis, etc. Colors: Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Titanium, Nickel, Golden Yellow, or custom RAL.
  • Glass Agnostic: Works with 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm Single Tempered, Laminated, Double Glazed Tempered (IGU), or Low-E glass. We integrate it seamlessly.
  • Made-to-Measure: Every dimension is customized. Non-standard shapes? We handle bending "As Requested".
  • 15-30 Day Lead Time: Efficient production gets your order shipped within weeks after final specs lock.
  • Branding Options: Incorporate project-specific Logos/Graphics on request.

FAQ

 

Q: Does it have a thermal break?

A: Absolutely yes. Thermal break technology is standard in the GR145. It's a major reason why this system is so good at saving energy – it stops heat sneaking through the metal frame.

Q: How is it packed for safe shipping overseas?

A: We take great care: Each profile is separated with soft Pear Cotton, bundled securely, wrapped in clear Crystal Plastic Bags, fixed firmly onto master bundles with Wood Bars, stabilized on Steel Tracks, and carefully loaded into containers using Forklifts. This minimizes the risk of damage on the long haul.

Q: Do you provide support for installation?

A: Definitely. You get detailed shop drawings, clear installation manuals, and structural calculations if needed. Our technical team is ready to answer your questions throughout the project. We want your installation to be a success.

Q: What glass can I use with this system?

A: It's designed for flexibility: Single Tempered, Laminated (safety glass), Insulated Double Glazing (tempered), or energy-saving Low-E glass. Thicknesses start at 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm. Need thicker? Talk to our engineers.

Q: How many color/finish choices are there?

A: Tons. Standard picks include Silver, Bronze, Champagne, Titanium, Nickel, Golden Yellow. Need a specific RAL color? We can match it using Anodizing, Powder Coating, super-durable PVDF Fluorocarbon, or Electrophoresis. Looks great, lasts longer.
