【Basic Knowledge Handbook Giveaway!】Exterior Material PC Curtain Wall

PC curtain walls that create the scenery of high-rise buildings and cityscapes.

PC curtain walls are precast concrete products that incorporate the curtain wall construction method. A curtain wall is a wall that separates internal and external spaces like a curtain, without bearing the load of the building itself, except for structural walls. Precast concrete refers to concrete that is manufactured in a factory rather than at the construction site. By manufacturing exterior wall components in advance at the factory, it becomes easy to ensure various performance requirements for exterior walls without being affected by weather, leading to stable quality and improved building precision. Additionally, since installation can be done from the inside, it allows for construction without scaffolding, and enables continuous construction of the structural framework, flooring, curtain wall, and interior work, making the curtain wall construction method essential for shortening construction periods in modern high-rise building projects. PC curtain walls excel in various performance characteristics such as fire resistance, thermal insulation, and soundproofing, which are inherent to concrete, allowing for the required performance to be achieved at a low cost. Furthermore, there are many options for high-quality finishes that are aesthetically pleasing and durable. In particular, by using architectural concrete or decorative formwork to create patterns, it is possible to create a unique facade that matches the design image of the building.
