What was the purpose of a thermal break double glass facade?

The primary purpose of a thermal break double glass facade is to protect the building's interior against the exterior natural phenomena such as sun exposure, temperature changes, earthquake, rain, and wind. This protection can be separated into two major categories, namely structural safety and interior environmental control.

What is the difference between a window wall and a thermal break double glass facade?

A window wall system spans only a single floor, is supported by the slab below and above, and is therefore installed within the slab edge. 

A gthermal break double glass facade is a structurally independent/self-supporting system, typically spanning multiple stories, and is installed proud of/beyond the slab edge.

A thermal break double glass facade is an innovative solution for modern building design that offers energy efficiency, insulation, and aesthetics. At XIANGZHEN, we specialize in the design, manufacturing, and installation of thermal break double glass facades to meet the needs of commercial and residential buildings.

Applications:

Thermal break double glass facades are commonly used in commercial buildings such as office buildings, shopping malls, and hotels. They are also suitable for residential buildings, especially in areas with extreme temperatures. The thermal break system provides superior insulation, reducing the heating and cooling costs of the building.

Pros:

The thermal break double glass facade offers several benefits for building design, including energy efficiency, noise reduction, and aesthetics. The thermal break system provides superior insulation, reducing the heating and cooling costs of the building. Double glass facades also reduce the amount of noise entering the building, creating a more comfortable and peaceful indoor environment. Additionally, the modern and sleek design of the double glass facade can enhance the building's aesthetic appeal.

Cons:

One of the significant disadvantages of a thermal break double glass facade is the cost. The initial investment in a double glass facade can be higher than traditional building systems. Additionally, the installation of the facade requires skilled labor and specialized equipment, which can add to the cost.

Popular FAQs:

Q: How does the thermal break system work in a double glass facade? A: The thermal break system in a double glass facade is designed to prevent heat transfer through the metal framing of the facade. The thermal break material, usually made of polyamide, is inserted between the exterior and interior aluminum frames to provide insulation and reduce energy consumption.

Q: Can a thermal break double glass facade be customized? A: Yes, at XIANGZHEN, we offer customized thermal break double glass facades to meet the unique requirements of each building. We work closely with architects and designers to create facades that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and energy-efficient.

Q: How long does it take to install a thermal break double glass facade? A: The installation time for a thermal break double glass facade depends on the size and complexity of the building. At XIANGZHEN, we work efficiently to minimize the installation time and ensure that the project is completed within the specified time frame.
