Throughout the world's landmark buildings, from the highest residential building "Princess tower" in Dubai, to the global luxury house "Tianhui" in Hong Kong, to the luxury house "Tomson one product" in Shanghai……

These luxury houses built with high-quality resources from all over the world choose aluminum plate as the material for the facade, so that they have strong visual recognition in appearance and can become an independent landscape wherever they are.

With the development of new building exterior walls, the heat of dry hanging facade of aluminum curtain wall has gradually overtaken that of stone, and has become another new favorite of luxury houses in the world.

Now let's see why the "aluminum curtain wall" has been so loved and become the standard configuration of luxury houses in the world in the past two years?

01.

What is "aluminum veneer curtain wall"?

Building curtain wall market products are increasingly rich, forming a diversified market structure dominated by aluminum, plastic, wood and steel. More new products will appear in the application of new materials and technologies.

Compared with other industries, aluminum veneer curtain wall products have less product differences and more fierce competition.

The so-called "aluminum plate" refers to the plate material made of aluminum or aluminum alloy material, or the plate aluminum products made of flat aluminum embryo by heating, rolling, straightening or solution aging heat.

When the stiffener is connected with the electric welding screws behind the layout to form a solid whole, it can greatly increase the strength and rigidity of the aluminum plate curtain wall, so as to ensure the flatness and wind and earthquake resistance of long-term use. Moreover, the aluminum plate is integrally formed and installed without falling off.

Aluminum plate used in buildings includes single-layer aluminum plate, composite aluminum plate and other materials. Generally, it often refers to single-layer aluminum plate (also known as single aluminum plate or pure aluminum plate). It is mostly used in architectural decoration engineering. Aluminum plate curtain wall is a form of curtain wall, which is simply made of aluminum plate instead of glass. Aluminum plate curtain wall is mostly used as wall shielding and non daylighting wall. Single layer aluminum plate has been selected for aluminum plate curtain wall abroad.

Moreover, the aluminum plate has strong plasticity and can be processed into various complex geometric shapes such as plane, arc and spherical surface. The appearance shape is diversified, and can be perfectly combined with glass curtain wall materials and stone curtain wall materials, giving designers countless imagination space.

The appearance and shape of aluminum curtain wall can be diversified, and can be perfectly combined with glass curtain wall materials and stone curtain wall materials. Its self weight is light, only one fifth of that of marble and one third of that of glass curtain wall, which greatly reduces the load of building structure and foundation, and has low maintenance cost and high performance price ratio.

Characteristics of aluminum veneer curtain wall

Strong "armor" of Architecture

Compared with other facades, aluminum curtain wall facades have unique performance properties.

①  High face value

After treatment, the surface of the aluminum plate has a metallic luster, which will show a unique noble spirit under the sunlight, making the whole building facade flexible, novel and textured.

Judging from the beautiful appearance of the building, due to the use of aluminum plate closure, the exposed problems of air conditioning pipes and water pipes that are more prominent in other buildings can also be well solved.

②  Water drainage, corrosion resistance and superior safety performance

As the dry hanging aluminum plate has a 12-20 cm interval between the dry hanging and the wall, there is almost no possibility of water seepage from the outer wall.

The surface of aluminum curtain wall is generally treated with fluorocarbon spraying after pre-treatment such as chrome. Compared with ordinary baking paint, fluorocarbon coating has excellent corrosion resistance and weather resistance, anti-oxidation, acid rain, salt fog and various air pollutants, good cold and heat resistance, strong ultraviolet radiation and long-term color fastness.。

Aluminum plate facade is expensive, about 7 times more expensive than ordinary materials.

 ③ Light weight, wind resistance and earthquake resistance

The safety and reliability of aluminum curtain wall is not only reflected in corrosion resistance, but also in its light weight, good rigidity and high strength.

Especially in high-rise buildings, its application value is more prominent because of its strong wind and seismic resistance.

The aluminum curtain wall itself is light, only one-fifth of marble and one-third of glass curtain wall, which greatly reduces the load of building structure and foundation. When the stiffener of aluminum curtain wall is connected with electric welding screws, it will form an indestructible whole, ensuring the flatness and wind and seismic resistance of long-term use.

④   Green environmental protection

The ecological concept of "green and livable" + "comfortable and energy-saving" has become the ideal living environment pursued by the public. In addition to the function and safety attributes of the building, the green environmental protection attribute of the building itself in materials is also an important factor to be considered when the owner chooses to buy a house.

In terms of energy conservation of environmental protection products, aluminum plate itself can be 100% recycled and put into production for reuse, which greatly saves material resources and can be truly called environmental protection and green building materials.

In the architectural decoration market, aluminum plate is used as the facade of the wall. Its perfect appearance, excellent quality, low maintenance cost and high price ratio of high performance are favored by the owners.

⑤ Break time and make it last forever

Thanks to the non adhesion of fluorocarbon coating film, the aluminum curtain wall is not easy to stain and is easy to clean and maintain, which makes it difficult to attach pollutants to the surface and has better cleanliness. It can last up to 25 years. No matter the wind and the sun, no matter the years change, the building is always clear as before.

Country garden center, a 150 meter residence, maximizes the use of aluminum plate dry hanging + double-layer insulating glass, and perfectly presents the high-end project temperament in simple architectural lines.

For example, the apartments and hotels in suhewan, an overseas Chinese town in Shanghai, adopt a modern style, emphasizing the vertical style and the tall and straight lines of the building. The material is mainly aluminum plate. The louver has been carefully considered in the facade design and is integrated with the facade.

Yongwei Jinyu upper court combines the design beauty of the building with the habitability of the owner, abandons redundancy, reduces triviality, and ensures the beauty of the building and the safety of residence, so as to establish the image and composition of the facade and realize the ideal comfortable life of the owner.

Application of artistic aluminum curtain wall

The appearance of Harbin opera house, this building expresses the winding landscape of the surrounding area. Its curved surface is made of soft white aluminum plate, which becomes a poem composed of edges and corners and surface, soft and sharp.

Emerson Los Angeles, the design integrates housing, administrative offices and teaching facilities in the city center. As a unique element of the project, the building uses a custom metal panel system.

These screens and panels consist of 17 different folding aluminum components and provide shading and required concealment. It is made using 3D model and assembled with curvature designed by morphosis.

This large sculpture is located in the newly expanded O'Hare Airport transportation hub, which means a representative of dynamic air flow and oscillates under stable and turbulent wind conditions.

Field Lines

This work is entirely composed of formed aluminum plates. The carved shape is reminiscent of the flow of the breeze in the field.

In Dalian International Convention Center, the ceiling and wall composed of aluminum plate are silvery gray cold light. Several air corridor bridges cross overhead. They are winding and connected with different functional spaces. The air conditioning outlets are designed into circular holes and arranged regularly. Everything is like the scene of an alien spacecraft in the film.
