1. Definition and core functions of fire-resistant glass curtain wall

Fireproof glass curtain wall is a new type of curtain wall system that combines fireproof performance with architectural aesthetics. It uses specially treated fireproof glass as the main material, which can maintain integrity for a certain period of time in high temperature environments, effectively blocking the spread of fire, while meeting the lighting, sound insulation and appearance design requirements of buildings. According to international standards, the fire resistance limit of fireproof glass curtain walls is usually divided into different levels such as 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes. It is suitable for high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, hospitals and other places with extremely high safety requirements.

2. Types and material properties of fireproof glass curtain walls

• Composite fireproof glass curtain wall

Made of multiple layers of glass and fireproof adhesive layer, the adhesive layer expands and foams to form an insulation layer when exposed to fire, suitable for large-area curtain wall design.

• Single-piece cesium potassium fireproof glass curtain wall

The strength of the glass is improved through chemical strengthening treatment, and it can be directly used in the frame system, with both permeability and fire resistance.

• Hollow fireproof glass curtain wall

Combined with hollow technology, it adds insulation and sound insulation functions on the basis of fire protection, which is in line with the trend of green buildings.

3. Four core advantages of fireproof glass curtain wall

• Improved safety

Through the combination of flame-retardant frame and fireproof glass, double fire partitions in vertical and horizontal directions are formed to reduce the risk of "chimney effect".

• Breakthrough in architectural aesthetics

Replaces traditional solid firewalls to achieve transparent or translucent design and enhances the visual effect of space (such as shopping mall atrium and office building facade).

• Energy saving and environmental protection

Some products can be combined with Low-E coating technology to reduce heat radiation loss and help building energy-saving certification.

• Multi-function integration

Supports linkage with intelligent fire protection system, real-time monitoring of temperature changes and triggering emergency response.

4. Application scenarios and industry trends

• Typical application areas

High-rise buildings: as a facade fire barrier, in compliance with the requirements of the "Architectural Design Fire Protection Code".

Commercial complexes: transparent fire partitions ensure visibility of escape routes.

Data centers and laboratories: protect precision equipment from fire.

• Industry development trends

Green building materials certification: the application of halogen-free fireproof glue and recyclable glass promotes sustainable development.

Intelligent upgrade: IoT sensors are embedded in the curtain wall system to achieve remote health monitoring.

Customized design: personalized solutions such as special-shaped curved surfaces and colored glaze patterns meet the needs of high-end projects.
