How can uneven or misaligned joints in glass curtain walls be corrected?
Inspect curtain wall glass for compliance with the applicable requirements, including specifications, dimensions, flatness, angles and surface defects. Glass outside the permitted tolerances must not be used. How should misaligned or uneven curtain wall glass joints be addressed? Read on to find out.
An uneven finish or uneven joints can occur after granite panels are installed on a wall. Problems include broad areas that are not flat, joints that are not level or plumb, inconsistent joint widths, and misalignment between adjacent panels. These defects fail to meet panel-wall construction requirements and seriously affect the wall’s appearance.
Individual uneven granite wall panels can be corrected or replaced directly. Large areas of uneven panels or misaligned joints are harder to address and lead to costly, time-consuming rework, so prevention is important.
If the seam is not straight, the situation is not serious, can be found directly along the seam pull line (large area should be used level, theodolite) , choose the appropriate method to increase the width of the seam, use Vermicelli to pop up along the seam to enlarge the seam line after the seam line, paste color separation tape along the seam line, use bright waterproof sealant about the upcoming use of the plate, should be in accordance with the rules of the code to check appearance quality, the detection content includes standard, scale, flatness, viewpoint, appearance defect and so on. Those exceeding the promised error shall not be used. Batch plate should be processed and produced by stone factory, bending surface and arc plate should be processed by special equipment (such as computer numerical control machine tool) .
Make the construction sample plan, strictly according to the plan construction. Before plate installation, according to the requirements of the building planning drawings should carefully check the plate installation site of the practical scale and error status, make a correction chart. When exceeding the promised error, it is necessary to rearrange the block size when the distance between the grouting method and the surface of the slab is more than 30mm.
The wall panel for special decoration planning, careful review of drawings, clear board arrangement, grid and drawings, expansion joints, joints and concave-convex parts of the structure is roughly the same. There is no waterproof requirement for indoor wall surface, and the dry joint of light and mirror granite slab is an important reason for the joint is not straight. Outdoor Wall needs waterproof requirements, board seam width shall not be less than. As for the projects with high quality requirements, the first thing to do is to lay the model wall on a large area after consultation and approval by the construction, planning, supervision and construction organizations.
