Transparency Structural Glazing System Seamless Frameless Structural Glazing

FULL GLASS CURTAIN WALL is a fully transparent curtain wall system that achieves frameless support through structural glass fins or point-supported systems. With an extremely minimalist visual language, it eliminates the visual barriers of traditional curtain walls, creating seamless integration between the interior and exterior spaces of a building. The system utilizes large-format monolithic tempered glass (maximum dimensions up to 12m×3m) or laminated glass as curtain wall panels. High-strength silicone structural adhesive bonds the glass panels to vertical glass fins to form an integral load-bearing unit, or stainless steel point-supported connectors are used to secure the glass to a concealed steel support structure, creating mechanical paradigms of "glass supporting glass" or "point-supported suspension."

In the structural glass fin approach, the glass fins undergo heat-soak strengthening treatment, with thicknesses reaching 30-50mm. Optimal cross-sectional dimensions and spacing are determined through computational simulations to withstand wind loads and seismic actions. All glass joints are filled with highly elastic silicone sealant, forming a continuous waterproof layer while allowing for micro-expansion and contraction due to temperature changes. The point-supported approach utilizes precision-machined fixing claws and adjustable bases to achieve three-dimensional error compensation for glass panels, with stress-diffusing washers applied around drilled holes to reduce local stress concentrations.

This system is suitable for iconic buildings that pursue visual purity and spatial openness, such as luxury showrooms, high-end hotel lobbies, and technology corporate headquarters. Installation requires specialized vacuum suction cup hoisting systems and laser positioning technology, with construction accuracy controlled within ±1.5mm. The full glass curtain wall not only redefines the physical boundaries of building envelopes but also transforms architecture into a "breathing optical device" through unobstructed light penetration and complete integration of landscapes, serving as a technical manifesto of contemporary minimalist architectural aesthetics.
