What is the architectural decoration curtain wall? It is the outer envelope of the main structure of the building, and has various functions such as windproof, rainproof, heat insulation, heat preservation, fire prevention, earthquake resistance and lightning protection. With the advancement of science and technology, exterior wall decoration materials and construction technology are also developing by leaps and bounds. Not only a variety of exterior wall coatings, decorative finishes and construction technologies have emerged, but also glass curtain walls, stone curtain walls, metal curtain walls and ceramic panels. Curtain wall and other new exterior wall decoration forms, and more and more in the direction of environmental protection, energy saving, intelligent, so that the building shows a beautiful scenery and modern atmosphere.

The application of building curtain wall technology provides more choices for building decoration. It is novel and durable, beautiful and fashionable, and has a strong sense of decoration. Compared with traditional exterior decoration technology, it has the characteristics of fast construction speed, high degree of industrialization and assembly, and easy maintenance.

Due to the high material and technical requirements of the curtain wall, the related structure is special, and it is also a part of the building structure, so the project cost is higher than that of the external wall in general practice.

In addition to aesthetic laws, the design and construction of curtain walls should also follow the requirements of architectural mechanics, physics, optics, structure and other laws, so as to be safe, applicable, economical and beautiful.

The building decorative curtain wall is composed of metal frame and panels, does not bear the load and function of the main structure, and can have a small displacement relative to the main structure. Heat and sound insulation requirements. So what material is the curtain wall made of?
