Aluminum curtain wall is a modular frame assembly arranged side-by-side and top-to-bottom interlocked relation. It has improved four corner joint construction providing more than adequate weather tightness. Alignment is provided for structurally connecting lower head rails in axially aligned relation. Aluminum curtain wall contains filler strip and lap strip that cooperate with the alignment to seal a gap and space presented between adjacent interlocked head and sill rails, thereby providing wearthertight four corner joint. Curtain walls consist of panels made up of different materials such as glass and metal. Metal curtain walls with aluminum panels are called aluminum curtain walls. The global aluminum curtain wall market can be segmented based on type of product and application. There are three types of aluminum curtain walls available in the market: stick-built, semi-unitized, and unitized aluminum curtain walls. These are used in residential and commercial sectors.
Unitized
aluminum curtain wall consists of a unitized panel assembled by various
components of curtain wall including sheet and supporting frame. It is fixed on
the main structure by embedded connective system. Unitized aluminum curtain
wall can be fixed to the main structure during construction. This helps in
reducing the timeframe for building construction. Unitized panels are connected
using the inlaying method, as this method provides good absorbing capacity for temperature
deformation, seismic deformation, storey displacement, etc. The inlaying method
also helps provide accurate installation and positioning of unitized aluminum
curtain wall. Another method used to connect the unitized aluminum curtain wall
is the structural sealing method, wherein a sealant strip is used to seal the
panels. The sealant strip not only connects the unitized aluminum walls, but
also decreases the impact of pollution on the surface of the curtain wall.

Semi-unitized
aluminum curtain walls possess combined properties of stick curtain wall and
unitized curtain wall. Semi-unitized aluminum wall provides higher degree of
accuracy, quality installation, and repair and maintenance. Panels of
semi-unitized aluminum curtain wall are connected using the dry structural
sealing method, which makes use of a sealant strip. Semi-unitized aluminum
curtains are more appealing with low pollution effects. Stick aluminum curtain
walls are frame-supporting products that require individual framing components
while installation on site to form supporting grid. They consist of embedded
bracket systems, support frame systems, and sheet systems. The components are
separated by non-metallic washer to avoid contact with each other. Some
aluminum curtain walls have additional properties such as water proofing and
draining system. The unitized segment dominated the global market in 2016 due
to the enhanced quality control, efficient air & water infiltration
performance, and minimum installation time.
