CURTAIN WALL
Metal and glass curtain wall
systems have found growing favour in 21st century architecture. The curtain wall system has evolved rapidly over the last two decades, especially with respect to weather control performance. A curtain wall system is a lightweight exterior cladding which is hung on the building structure, usually from floor to floor. It can provide a variety of exterior appearances but is characterized by narrowly spaced vertical and horizontal caps with glass or metal infill panels. These systems provide a finished exterior appearance and most often a semi-finished interior as well. They are also designed to accommodate structural deflections, control wind-driven rain and air leakage, minimize the effects of solar radiation and provide for maintenance-free long term perfor mance. Most of today's metal curtain wall systems are constructed of lightweight aluminum
products Structural glazing systems incorporating spacers and adhesives are now a widely accepted glazing option and are used in a growing share of curtain wall, window and storefront installations. In fact, many people have come to regard structural glazing as the superior method of glazing. When properly installed, the structural sealant forms a continuous, waterproof seal against leakage and air infiltration. The sealant and spacer transmit wind load movement to the structure and withstand flexure, tension, compression and differential thermal shear stresses.
STRUCTURAL GLAZING Silicone resists UV, ozone and other environmental exposures and does not take on a compression set or lose resiliency. While structural sealants generally carry a 20-year of exposure still demonstrate elasticity, adhesion and strength. The major issues that govern the design of structural glazing systems are sealant performance air and water infiltration, structural design requirements, and the use of right type of glass. These requirements directly affect aluminium profile sizes, sealant widths and join sizes.
TRANSOM Unitized sttructural glazing is a special type where modulestypically one mullion bay wide by one floor highare assembled and glazed offsite, and then hung on the exterior of the building. Engineering and tooling costs are high for this system, but they become cost-effective with repetition, so large projects are often done in this manner. This system comes pre-assembled; it is preglazed at the factory and installed at site. In the process, it minimizes field labor and erection costs, and promises a shorter installation period than the stick system. In semi-unitized systems the mullions and transoms are installed at site. The glass units are assembled in the factory along with the clips which are transported to the site and hooked on to the installed framework. In this systems a variety of elevational profiles in the finished glazing is possible, including inclines and curvatures. This is a perfect tool transform the architects visualization into reality.

It is a much faster construction technique and since on-site labour is considerably reduced, it works out to be resonably less expensive than a semiunitized system.

FULLY-UNITIZED
In a fully unitized systems entire
floor to floor and mullion to mullion panels (except for the end panels) are assembled at the factory. At sites only the galvanized steel brackets are installed. The individual panels are then brought to the site and fixed in position. The panels are made of malefemale end sections which fit into each other at the site.

4mm TH. AL. COMPOSITE PANEL
ALUMINIUM COMPOSITE PANELS
Aluminium composite material is made
of Low Density Polyethylene. The Polyethylene core is laminated between two high-strength coil-coated aluminium sheets.Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) is a high performance fluoropolymer architectural coil coating system from PPG industries. ACM sheets can be easily fabricated (i.e. cut, bent, curved, drilled, grooved, punched and shaped) using common wood and metal working tools to suit specific design requirements.

DASH FASTNER 4mm TH. AL. COMPOSITE PANEL
Aluminium composite material is one of the
most thoroughly tested and recognized material in the building industry. The surface finish coatings retain colour consistency and the ability to perform in aggresive environments consisting of urban grime, acid rain and salt spray.ACM sheets can be easily cleaned with water and a sponge or a soft bristle brush and a mild detergent solution, which will restore the panel to its original appearance.Preserving our worldwide environment from the effects of contamination is imperative. Most quality ACM sheets such as ALCOPLA , ALUCOBOND, ALPOLIC or REYNOBOND are composed of recyclable materials and is environmentally friendly.
EARTHQUAKE LOADS We adopt earthquake forces as per IS-1893 1984. All anchors are designed conservatively.
DEFLECTION We limit the deflection of members to Span/175 to ensure maximum safety.
ACCOMODATION OF MOVEMENT We provide for lateral movement considering the following; deflection under design loading deflection due to repeated wind loads deflection due to earthquake forces deflection due to thermal movement deflection due to building movement deflection due to secondary effects such as creep,etc.
SAFETY STANDARDS We follow safety Codes of practice as applicable, such as wearing of safety belts, overhead protection, gloves, etc. The glass is handled with the support of vacuum glass holding devices. All employees and materials are covered by insurance. We require the project to give us access to lifts for safer movement of material and glass.
SELECTION OF MATERIALS We follow strict safety standards while selecting the specification of materials used for the work, e.g; specifying appropriate tolerances, specifying minimum required thickness in aluminium, insuring that all screws and metal fixtures are compatible to aluminium. We provide for buffers between frames and shutters in order to make the windows & doors impact resistant. We provide for protection of surface finishes during the transportation, fabrication and erection with abrasive resistant film. All the materials we procure are from reputed manufacturers.
CONCLUSION The entire execution of the work is carried out under the supervision of competent personnel to ensure that all the safety regulations are complied with, and we also take the expertise of our specialized vendors (such as glass) in various stages. We feel that, for maintaining the above standards it is very necessary that there is complete understanding and coordination between client, contractor, and us. We would also like to incorporate, other than the above mentioned, safety standards which the client or the contractor may wish to be incorporated.
ASSURANCE
DESIGN WIND LOADING
We adopt wind loading as per IS-875 1987. Wherever IS codes are not existent, we follow the ASTM or BS standards.
