Can anyone say something about the curtain wall fire-proof material key sealing point?
Hello. 1. Gaps between the curtain walls and floors of all tier and partitions outer edge should be sealed with non-combustible material or flame retardant materials. Filling material can be rock wool or mineral wool, whose thickness should be not less than 100mm and should meet the designed fire endurance requirements, forming fire and smoke prevention areas between floors and rooms. Fireproof layer should use galvanized steel bearing with thickness of not less than 1. 5mm, and should not use aluminum plate. Gaps between bearing plate and main structure, curtain wall structure and the bearing plate should be sealed by fireproof sealant; fireproof sealant should has fireproof inspection reports granted by statutory testing organizations. 2. When building designs requiring transparent effect of fire compartment and separation, monolithic fire-resistant glass or hollow and laminated fire-resistant glass nade by monolithic fire-resistant glass can be adopted. 3. Windowsills-free curtain walls, incombustible entities skirt wall or fireproof glass wall whose fire endurance is not less tan 1.0 hour and height is not less than 0.8m should be set on the outer edge of each floor. The thickness of reinforced concrete floor or height of the side beams should be counted when calculating the height of the skirt wall. 4. Fire protection layer should not contact directly with the glass curtain wall, and the side towards the glass of fireproof materials should be covered with the decorative material. 5. Glass units of the same curtain wall should not cross two fire?compartments.
When sealing the gaps between glass?curtain?wall and floors of all layers and the outer edge of the partition with rock wool or mineral wool, its thickness should not be less than 100mm and should be filled densely; Rock wool or mineral wool for horizontal smoke prevention zone between floors should use galvanized steel sheet whose thickness is not less than 1.5mm to support; The gaps between supporting plate, major structure, curtain wall structure and supporting plate should be filled with fire-resistant glass, whose fire endurance should meet the design requirements. Fire-resistant glass for curtain wall are mainly include monolithic fire-resistant glass as well as the hollow glass and laminated glass made by monolithic fire-resistant glass.
Keypoints; 1, curtain wall design must consider the safety requirements, one of which is fire protection design. 2, Generally, fire protection planning between curtain walls should use the method of setting fireproof isolation layer. 3, Two layers of fireproof isolation layer whose thickness should not be less than 100mm respectively on the top edge and lower edge of the material parts of the house. 4, the fireproof isolation layer commonly uses 1.5mm thick galvanized steel sheet as supporting plate, using for shelving fireproof sheet. The 100mm thick cavity between the layers is filled with mineral wool non-combustible materials tightly covered with tinfoil on the surfaces. 5, protective isolation layer should try to reconcile curtain wall beam level and finish floor level, so as to fill non-combustible material and to avoid that a piece of glass acrosses two fire?compartments. 6, the beam should be inside 100mm thick fireproof isolation layer to protect the beam and the upper curtain wall plate. 7, when there are open fire function areas like large-scale hotel or restaurant kitchen inside the curtain walls, curtain wall glass in these parts should consider using cesium potassium fireproof glass to improve the fireproof rating in the region. 8, Fireproof setting in the around areas of curtain wall can use the same method of the above fireproof setting between layers. The joint parts of fireproof isolaton layer and main part as well as curtain wall should use fireproof sealant to seal.
