Hidden frame glass curtain wall is a type of facade system where the supporting aluminum frame is concealed behind the glass panels, creating a continuous, unobstructed glass surface. This design emphasizes the sleekness and transparency of the wall, providing an uninterrupted exterior view and a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The hidden frame is typically achieved through the use of structural silicone or mechanical clamps, which bond or secure the glass to the support structure without the need for exterior mullions or transoms.
This system allows for greater natural light penetration and visual connectivity with the surroundings while still offering the necessary structural support and resistance to environmental forces. The hidden frame technique also enhances thermal performance by minimizing the amount of metal exposed to the exterior, which can act as a thermal bridge and affect insulation properties.
Main Features
Long pieces of aluminum are inserted between floors vertically and horizontally between vertical members to support and transfer the load of the glass back to structure.
Framing members may be fabricated in a shop, but glazing is typically performed at the jobsite. One of the benefits of stick-built systems is that it is more economic and can accommodate complicated jobsite conditions The lead times are often much shorter than the unitized system for fabricated materials to be delivered to the site and allow for less up front staging.
