A membrane structure curtain wall is an application of membrane structures in building envelope systems. It possesses the common characteristics and advantages of membrane structures, serving as a continuous exterior cladding system suspended from the main structural frame, representing an entirely new structural form. Curtain wall systems are generally divided into three major types: hidden-frame membrane curtain walls, visible-frame membrane curtain walls, and combined hidden-visible frame membrane curtain walls. Based on the structural characteristics of the membrane material, they can be further classified into three categories: single-layer membrane curtain walls, inflatable membrane curtain walls, and composite membrane curtain walls.
Application Scope of Membrane Structure Curtain Walls:
Schools, hospitals, nursing homes, shopping malls, fitness centers, commercial buildings, restaurants, hotels, exhibition halls, theaters, various large-scale buildings, and more.
Advantages of Membrane Structure Curtain Walls:
High Safety Performance: The membrane fabric substrate is composed of high-strength polyester fibers or glass fibers. Even if damaged, it does not produce hazardous fragments.
Large Unit Area: Membrane materials can be welded to form unit panels of nearly 1,000 square meters, meeting the requirements for building curtain walls to function as large-format screens, advertising media, etc.
Good Light Transmission: By selecting membrane materials with different light transmittance levels, the system can regulate indoor lighting, provide permanent fixed shading, and improve building comfort.
Excellent Durability: Membrane materials are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, mildew, and other environmental factors.
Good Self-Cleaning Performance: The membrane panel surface can be cleaned by rainwater rinsing, effectively reducing curtain wall maintenance costs.
