Visible Frame Curtain Wall | Aluminum Framed Glass Curtain Wall System

The Visible Frame Curtain Wall is a practical and widely used façade solution for commercial and public buildings. Unlike hidden frame systems, the aluminum profiles remain visible from the exterior, creating a clear and structured appearance while ensuring stable glass fixing and long-term reliability.

This system is commonly applied in office buildings, business centers, hotels, and institutional projects where safety, durability, and cost control are key considerations.

Visible Frame Curtain Wall style

System Overview

Rutao visible frame curtain wall uses aluminum mullions and transoms to support glass panels mechanically. The exposed frame design allows the load to be evenly transferred to the main structure, improving overall façade stability.

The system is suitable for both stick-built and unitized installation, depending on project scale and construction requirements.

Key Performance Advantages

Reliable Structural Support

The visible aluminum frame provides direct mechanical fixing for the glass, offering strong resistance to wind pressure and building movement. This structure is especially suitable for large façade areas and multi-story buildings.

Stable Weather Protection

Multi-layer sealing with EPDM gaskets and silicone sealant helps prevent water penetration and air leakage, ensuring consistent performance in different climates.

Easy Installation & Maintenance

Compared to structural glazing systems, visible frame curtain walls are easier to install, inspect, and maintain. Glass replacement and routine inspection can be carried out without affecting the surrounding panels.

Cost-Effective for Commercial Projects

With mature system design and standardized components, this curtain wall solution helps control project costs while meeting functional and aesthetic requirements.
