Rain curtain core principle is that the pressure inside and outside the outer wall (rain curtain) is equal. There is no water around the internal wall gap, namely, water of three seepage factors can be eliminated for the internal wall. The integrated unit curtain wall joint system has no leakage. Rain curtain containment structure is a layered containment system, including one external structure which is communicated with external environment capable of retaining rainwater, one ventilation cavity capable of preventing rainwater invasion, and one effectively sealed back lining wall. Any water penetrated to the external wall can be baffled in the cavity well and deduced out of the external wall. Containment structure design based on rain curtain principles belongs to a scientific method to eliminate water leakage problem. Therefore, it is called ‘breathable’ curtain wall.
System mainly consists of panel, keel, connector and other parts.The panel not only can be used for protecting wall panels and decoration, but also can baffle most rainwater. Extremely little water penetrated into plate gaps can be deduced from the bottom drainage holes. The ventilation cavity between the panel and the basic layer wall makes the wall system keep dry for long term, thereby greatly enhancing corrosion resistance of the system.Substrates can be selected flexibly. The plate is processed in the factory by high grade ultra- flexible automatic bending center. It has extremely high stability and precision. Excellent appearance can be provided for the mirror flat plate. Client can select personalized color.
Modular prefabricated connection structure can improve installation efficiency.
Smartclad Open Joint Curtain Facade System
● Environmental protection performance
The steel materials have the lowest production consumption compared with other similar products.
● Energy-saving performance (heat preservation effect)
The open ventilation metope can reduce the cooling energy consumption caused by "stack effect" formed by sun radiation on the building. Compared with the traditional buildings without heat preservation, the ventilation metope can reduce energy consumption by 25%.
Ventilation metope has another advantage to give the wall very low heat transfer resistance, thereby creating a healthy and comfortable internal environment for the building.
Benefits Highlight
● Economical benefits
Compared with traditional buildings, the heat preservation of ventilation metope brings prominent economic benefits in the aspect of energy conservation.
● Sustainability (exemption maintenance)
According to the requirements of the design, the panel can be removed or repeatedly installed. Gum coating is not needed, so that no maintenance is needed.
Net panel can be completely recycled and utilized.
● Sound insulation performance
Ventilation net panel system can reach better sound insulation performance through reducing the transfer of sound. The ventilation performance can increase the noise suction ability of the metope to six decibels, which is equivalent to half of the normal noise level inside the building.
● Weather protection
The net panel system provides long-term protection against wind and rain for the building, thereby preventing the erosion of rain, ice, snow, and the like on building. The deficiency of similar protection is the main cause to cause failed metope system with gum.
● Construction convenienceModulus prefabricated connecting structure can improve the mounting efficiency.
