The architectural curtain wall engineering mainly consists of two parts. Firstly, the panels, which are primarily composed of glass, metal sheets, stone panels, or ceramic panels.
The other part is the supporting structure at the back, mainly divided into horizontal beams, vertical columns, steel structures, and glass components.
Architectural curtain wall engineering includes glass curtain walls, stone curtain walls, aluminum veneer curtain walls, ceramic tile curtain walls, etc. The architectural curtain wall serves as the protective barrier of the building's exterior wall, bearing no structural load and often referred to as a "hanging wall" due to its suspended installation.
