European Standard EN 1096-5 self-cleaning glass for facades

Low Maintenance Self-Cleaning Glass for curtain walls

 
A curtain wall is a non-structural building envelope that is intended to support only its own weight and withstand the effects of environmental forces such as wind. It is not intended to support the weight of a roof or floor. Instead, gravity loads and wind resistance transfer from the surface to the building’s floor line. Since it is non-structural, it can be made of lightweight materials - glass and aluminum profiles to help reduce construction costs. We offer a variety of glass products that allows architects and designers to control every aspect of aesthetics and performance, including thermal and solar control, sound and security as well as colour, light and glare.
 
There are two main types of curtain walling construction: “stick” and “unitised”. In stick construction, the curtain wall frame is constructed mainly on site with mullions and transoms supporting glass, spandrel panels, metal panels and brise-soleils, connected piece by piece. Each mullion is usually supported by the floor or perimeter beams.In unitised construction, on the other hand, the curtain wall is composed of large units that are assembled in the factory, shipped to the site and erected on the building. Aluminium profiles are used to form the frame, which is normally one-storey high. Aluminium is typically used for facade frames because of its strength and stability. It is also highly durable, moisture and corrosion-resistant and 100% recyclable. Opening vents, glazing and infill panels are built into units before being transported to site. As with stick construction, each unit is usually supported by the floor or perimeter beams.
 

Glass curtain walls are not exclusive to commercial applications. They also provide viable glazing solutions for residences as well.
 
We are ONE-STOP-SHOP for building envelopes, outer building skin and premium FACADES. In addition to high performing glasses, aluminum frames and other accessories, our professionals are capable of offering tailored solutions for those glass facade projects that require a specific function or architectural design.

Self-Cleaning Glass 

Self-Cleaning Glass offers an innovative solution to reducing your cleaning bills of the façades as it will stay clean longer and allow easier cleaning when needed. It will reduce the cleaning maintenance tremendously by self-cleaning through natural elements such as the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and water. The UV light breaks down organic dirt on the glass, while rainwater washes away the dirt.

It is thus an eco-friendly solution as all it needs is a little sun and rain to activate the self-cleaning process.

Note: Self-Cleaning does not imply that the glass does not need cleaning. A minimal amount of cleaning is still required.
