1. Full Frame Glass Curtain Wall
A full-frame glass curtain wall uses an integrated frame that is visible and typically supports large glass panels across the entire structure. The frame itself can be made of steel, aluminum, or other materials and is visible as part of the exterior design.
✅ Advantages:
Structural Strength – The full frame provides strong support and is capable of handling large glass panels and heavier loads.
Durability – Steel or reinforced aluminum frames can provide superior strength and longevity, especially in high-rise buildings or areas with extreme weather conditions.
Design Flexibility – Offers flexibility in terms of both the size and shape of the panels, as well as more customization options for the frame itself.
Increased Safety – The full frame structure ensures better performance under wind loads, seismic activity, and other environmental factors.
🔹 Best For:
Large commercial projects (offices, malls, etc.)
High-rise buildings where strong load-bearing capacity is needed
Projects requiring a robust structural system for extreme weather or seismic conditions
Where a more traditional or industrial aesthetic is preferred
2. Aluminium Frame Glass Curtain Wall
An aluminum frame glass curtain wall consists of aluminum framing members that support glass panels. These are the most common type of curtain wall system, often seen in both high-rise and low-rise commercial and residential buildings.
✅ Advantages:
Lightweight & Cost-Effective – Aluminum is lighter than steel, making the system less expensive and easier to handle during installation.
High Corrosion Resistance – Aluminum is naturally resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for coastal environments or humid climates.
Modern Aesthetic – Aluminum frames can be slim and unobtrusive, allowing for larger glass areas and a more transparent, modern look.
Energy Efficiency – When coupled with double-glazing or Low-E glass, the aluminum frame system can achieve good thermal insulation and energy efficiency.
Easy Maintenance – Aluminum is durable and easy to maintain, especially in terms of cleaning and long-term performance.
🔹 Best For:
Mid to high-rise commercial buildings and offices
Residential projects where a more transparent, modern aesthetic is desired
Budget-conscious projects that still require durability and performance
Projects needing easy maintenance and weather resistance
Key Considerations:
Aesthetic Preferences: If you want a cleaner, minimalist glass façade, the aluminum frame with slim profiles will likely give you a more modern look. If you’re okay with a more industrial or robust aesthetic, the full-frame option will provide a stronger, more solid appearance.
Structural Requirements: For large-scale buildings or those in areas with extreme wind or seismic activity, a full-frame glass curtain wall may offer better structural integrity. However, aluminum systems with proper thermal breaks and reinforced frames can also provide sufficient strength for most applications.
Energy Efficiency: For better insulation and energy efficiency, ensure that your aluminum system includes features like thermal breaks, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, and double-glazing. Full-frame glass walls, while structurally robust, might require additional features to maintain thermal performance.
Summary:
Full Frame Glass Curtain Walls are ideal for projects needing maximum strength and durability with a more industrial appearance.
Aluminum Frame Glass Curtain Walls are a great option for modern aesthetics, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Laminated glass
Laminated glass is a composite glass product made by bonding two or more layers of glass with polyvinyl alcohol (PVB) film and then processing them under high temperature and high pressure. Laminated glass made of transparent film has a similar appearance to ordinary annealed glass, but due to the excellent flexibility of PVB film, when laminated glass is impacted by external force, the film layer will quickly absorb a large amount of impact energy and attenuate it, so laminated glass is difficult to be penetrated. Due to the bonding performance of the film layer, the glass will not fall off after being broken, and can maintain excellent integrity. It still has certain shielding performance, which will not cause injury due to glass scattering, and will give enough time to replace the glass. Therefore, laminated glass is a truly safe glass. It is widely used in building doors and windows, curtain walls, skylights, skylights, ceilings, and indoor glass.

Product Overview
Thermal stability: Tempered glass has good thermal stability and can withstand a temperature difference of 300°C, which is 3 times that of ordinary glass.
Safety: Tempered glass has strong impact resistance due to the presence of a stress layer, making it difficult to break, and the small blunt-angle particles formed after the glass is broken will not cause significant harm to the human body.
