Is it necessary to replace the glass curtain wall?
1. Safety first, human life is at stake!
The “self-explosion” of glass curtain wall glass is not a joke: Tempered glass that has been used for a long time may have invisible “small scars” (nickel sulfide impurities) in it, and it may break with a “bang” one day. If it falls and hits people or cars, the consequences are unimaginable! Especially when the self-explosion rate exceeds the normal level (0.3% of the self-explosion rate of glass curtain wall), or cracks like butterfly wings appear on the glass, it is very dangerous.
The adhesive strips of the glass curtain wall will leak: the glass and the metal frame are glued together by sealant. Over time, the glue will harden, crack, and bulge. When it rains, water will drill in through the cracks! This water is not a trivial matter. It will secretly corrode the steel frame (keel) inside, making the “bones” of the entire curtain wall brittle. When you find that the ceiling is leaking and the wall is moldy, there may be a large area of rust inside!
The unstable frame of the glass curtain wall is dangerous: if the metal frame inside is severely rusted, deformed and bent, or the screws that fix them are loose, the “bones” of the entire curtain wall will not be strong. Once a strong wind blows, or an earthquake occurs, it may not be able to withstand it. The switch hardware of the window is broken, and the window is swinging in the air, and it is even more scary to fall!
3. The image of the exterior wall is damaged!
The glass curtain wall is too embarrassing. The scratches on the glass are too deep, the stains cannot be washed off, the acid rain corrodes it like a “tear mark”, or the color is mottled and falling off… The whole building looks old and broken, which seriously affects the company’s image and grade. Tenants want to move after seeing it, and customers have no confidence after seeing it.
If the glass curtain wall is aging, it can be transformed through the glass curtain wall. Replace it with the popular large glass, narrow frame, transparent and simple style. The building immediately looks tall and the rent can be raised!
