Here are two major differences between glass curtain wall and aluminum alloy doors and windows as follows.
 

1. Concept.

For a long time, the concept definition of curtain wall and doors and windows has been unable to reach agreements within industry. Both of the two materials could not bear the stress of the major structure. Considering the appearance and cost saving, many companies always adopt some materials of doors and windows to design and manufacture the effect of curtain wall. However, not only it often brings troubles to delivery-receiving acceptance, but also the maintenance of the structure buries the hidden trouble to safety to some extent. In order to avoid the continuation of such situation, there is a clear definition of the concept of glass curtain wall in Glass Curtain Wall Engineering Technical Manual (JGJ102-2003). Namely, glass curtain wall which is composed of support structure system and panels owns the relative certain displacement capacity of the main structure and can not support the stress outside the building maintenance structure or the decorative thread structure of the major structure.
 

2. Standard Specifications

Aluminum Alloy Doors and Windows (GBT8478-2008) launched by China is regarded as the latest doors and windows’ national standard. Each province and region has its own province and region standards such as Engineering Technology Regulations of Aluminum Alloy Doors and Windows (DGJ32 / J07-2005) in Jiangsu province, the Aluminum Alloy Doors and Windows Engineering Design, Construction and Acceptance Standard" (DBJ15-30-2002) in Guangdong province, etc.

It is necessary to meet the requirements of province standards in different regions so as to ensure the local acceptance check under the premise of satisfying the needs of national standards in aluminum doors and windows engineering design. Classification and Detection Method Wind Resistance, Airtight, Watertight of Doors and Windows outside the Building (GBT7106-2008) is regarded as the latest national standard for the doors and windows engineering performance testing and grading. Glass Curtain Wall Engineering Technical Manual (JGJ102-2003) which has been regarded as the Bibcock for curtain wall industry is widely recognized among the industry. Architectural Curtain Wall (GB/T21086-2007) of the national standard is elaborated more comprehensively on the curtain wall system. Architectural Curtain Wall (GB/T21086-2007), Detection Method Wind Resistance, Airtight, Watertight of Curtain Wall (GB/T15227-2007) provides the basis and method of detecting and grading of the curtain wall project performance.
