01·Product specification and classification

Classification


Aluminum veneer curtain wall is a curtain wall made of aluminum plates. The structure of aluminum veneer is mainly composed of panel, reinforcing rib, lug and other components, and the back of the panel can also be filled with insulating mineral wool.


The thickness of aluminum veneer is mainly 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm and 3.0mm. The cost of aluminum veneer with thickness less than or greater than this is increased on the basis of normal cost. The thickness of aluminum curtain wallboard mainly adopts 2.0mm and 2.5mm 3.0mm plates. There are 4.0mm and 5.0mm thick aluminum plates on the market.。


Due to the high plasticity of aluminum veneer, aluminum veneer curtain wall is mainly used for the interior and exterior decoration of some large shopping malls, the decoration of lobby facades and columns of large hotels, elevated corridors, pedestrian overpasses, elevator edging, balcony packaging, advertising signs, indoor special-shaped ceiling and other decoration.



02· Material characteristics

Performance


1High plasticity. Due to the hardness comparison of aluminum, it has good metal ductility, and can shape different shapes at will. Besides, the production of aluminum veneer for curtain wall is simple, and the installation steps are simple.


2It has corrosion resistance. Weathering resistance, effective resistance to ultraviolet rays, and no fear of wind and sun. The aluminum veneer treated with fluorocarbon paint can remain colorfast for up to 25 years.


3Green and environment-friendly, aluminum veneer curtain wall panel is a recyclable product, which is conducive to environmental protection and is advocated by the state


4Light weight, only one fifth of marble and one third of glass curtain wall, greatly reduces the load of building structure and foundation, and has low maintenance cost and high cost performance.


5Good thermal insulation and fire resistance. Aluminum veneer curtain wall can meet the needs of sound insulation and heat preservation through punching and installing sound absorbent cotton; The aluminum veneer curtain wall is made of metal and is one of the natural fire protection building materials. After testing, the fire protection rating of the aluminum panel is as high as A2, and the melting point is as high as 660 degrees. It is one of the excellent fire protection building materials.


6The sound insulation effect is good. According to the test, the sound insulation of aluminum veneer products is up to 29-32dB, which is equivalent to the sound insulation effect of solid brick walls. In infrastructure projects, it is often used as the airport sound barrier to effectively solve the impact of traffic noise on residents.



03·Construction and installation nodes

Install nobe


A、Main machines and tools

Electric welding machine, cutting machine, electric hand drill, rivet gun, barrel type glue injection gun. Portable air pressure washer, pulley, palm rope, nylon rope, screwdriver, tool knife, plasterer, etc.


B、Process flow

Surveying and setting out → checking construction drawings → construction of embedded plates → construction of steel frames → adjustment → full welding of frames → anti-corrosion treatment → concealed acceptance → plate inspection → plate installation → cleaning → acceptance


1、Snap line for positioning


①According to the detailed drawing of curtain wall division and elevation points, the location of entrance and exit lines and axes. Determine the curtain wall plane on the main body with heavy hammer, steel wire measuring instrument, level gauge and other tools. The datum lines such as column grids and corners shall be adjusted and retested with theodolite;

②The measurement and setting out of the partition axis of the curtain wall shall be coordinated with the measurement and setting out of the main structure to avoid the accumulation of errors. If the error is greater than the specified allowable deviation (including the vertical deviation value), the axis of the curtain wall shall be adjusted appropriately to meet the structural requirements of the curtain wall after obtaining the consent of Party A, the supervisor and the designer;

③The measurement of high-rise buildings shall be carried out regularly every day when the wind force is not greater than Grade IV;


2、Embedded parts construction


Since the main structure has been completed, but the embedded parts connecting the curtain wall and the main body have not been made, the fabrication and installation of the later embedded parts are required. The post embedded parts shall be connected with the main civil structure. The iron plate behind the wall shall be welded with the bolt. The distance between the screw and the edge of the concrete shall be ≥ 250mm. The nut shall be welded to prevent loosening. After welding, the anti-corrosion treatment shall be carried out;


The post embedded parts shall be reliably connected with the main structure with anchor bolts.


3、 Keel installation


①Fix the main keel with the connecting support first, then connect it with the angle steel support of the embedded parts of the main body that have been welded first, adjust and fix it, electric welding first, then full welding. The quality of keel construction directly affects the dry hanging quality of aluminum veneer, so the installation quality of keel should be strictly controlled;

The horizontal keel shall be installed and the levelness shall be strictly controlled. Since the levelness directly affects the quality of the transverse seam of the aluminum veneer, the horizontal tolerance shall be controlled within ± 1mm, and full welding shall be carried out after adjustment.


4、After the welding of the steel frame with anti-corrosion treatment, it shall be coated with two coats of antirust paint.


5、Concealed acceptance


①Check the installation of the connection point between the component and the main structure;

②Check the connection form and welding quality between steel frames;

③Check whether the lightning protection grounding connection is correct and effective, and whether it can meet the design lightning protection requirements;

④The pulling force of anchor bolt shall be tested, and the aluminum veneer shall be installed after passing the test.


6、Installation and construction of aluminum veneer


①After entering the site, the aluminum veneer shall be inspected in strict accordance with the specification requirements and placed by product number.

②Before the installation of aluminum veneer, thin steel wire shall be used to pull the control line to ensure the installation accuracy. The installation of aluminum veneer shall comply with the following table:

7、Sealant construction


①Before gluing, the protective tape shall be pasted around the board to prevent contamination, and the dust in the seams around the board shall be cleaned with a steel brush;

The glue thickness shall be 6-8mm, and the glue surface shall be smooth and beautiful without wrinkles.


8、Aluminum veneer surface cleaning


After the installation of aluminum veneer, it shall be checked, repaired and cleaned. When removing the shelf, attention shall be paid to the protection of finished products.


C、Precautions:


1、Anti deformation ability: calculate each important part of the curtain wall system with scientific mechanics, not only considering the effects of wind pressure, dead weight, earthquake, temperature and other effects, but also carefully checking embedded parts, connection systems, keel systems, panels and fasteners to ensure the safety of the curtain wall.

2、 Plate fixing method: fixed distance compaction shall be adopted to ensure the flatness of the curtain wall surface. Because the stress of each fixed point of the plate is inconsistent, the deformation of the surface material will affect the exterior decoration effect.

3、 Floating connection is adopted for plates: it not only ensures the resilience of the curtain wall after deformation, but also ensures the integrity of the curtain wall, which will not cause deformation of the curtain wall due to force, and avoid the occurrence of bulge or depression on the surface of the curtain wall.

4、Reinforcement measures shall be taken for the edge removal of composite surface material: since the folding edge of composite panel material only retains the thickness of the front plate, the thickness becomes thinner and the strength decreases, reinforcement measures shall be taken.

5、The materials selected shall conform to the specifications, standards and design requirements: the quality of materials on the market is also different at present. The selection of qualified materials is the basis for ensuring the quality of curtain walls. Strict inspection methods must be adopted to ensure the quality of materials.

6、The waterproof sealing shall be reasonable: different sealing methods have different prices, so appropriate sealing methods shall be selected for the project to ensure the function and exterior decoration effect of the curtain wall. The available methods are: structural waterproof, internal waterproof, sealant sealing.

The scale aluminum veneer belongs to the profiled aluminum veneer, also called profiled scale aluminum veneer. It is mainly applied to the facades of various buildings.

The external facade of aluminum veneer with special-shaped scales can also make dynamic effects: the static aluminum veneer scales benefit from the geometric scale aluminum veneer without angle combination, thus presenting a dynamic effect.
