Glazed Aluminium Curtain Wall

Exposed Frame Curtain Wall

Exposed frame glass curtain walls feature exterior metal mullions (vertical and horizontal framing members) that are visible from the outer surface of the façade. The glass panels are installed within the frame, and the entire framing grid is clearly outlined. This traditional structure provides strong support and allows easy installation, inspection, and maintenance.

The defining characteristic of the exposed frame system is the pronounced architectural lines created by the visible frames, which lend a modular and orderly appearance to building exteriors. This type is widely used for its reliability and flexibility in both design and construction.

Concealed Frame Curtain Wall

Fully concealed frame glass curtain walls are designed so that the supporting frames are hidden behind the glass panels when viewed from the outside. The glass units are typically fixed onto the frame using structural silicone or other advanced attachment methods, giving the façade a continuous and seamless glass appearance.

The main advantage of this system is its modern, sleek aesthetic, as all structural components are invisible from the exterior. Fully concealed frame curtain walls are often chosen for landmark or premium buildings where a high-end, uniform glass surface is desired. The defining characteristic of the exposed frame system is the pronounced architectural lines created by the visible frames, which lend a modular and orderly appearance to building exteriors. This type is widely used for its reliability and flexibility in both design and construction.

Semi-concealed Frame Curtain Wall

Semi-concealed frame glass curtain walls combine features of both exposed and fully concealed systems. Typically, one direction (horizontal or vertical) of the frame is visible while the other is hidden. For example, vertical mullions may remain visible while horizontal members are concealed behind the glass, or vice versa.

This design balances visual neatness and structural clarity, providing partial framing lines for aesthetic emphasis while still achieving a relatively clean glass surface. Semi-concealed systems are commonly selected for projects seeking a compromise between modern appearance and traditional structural expression.
