Abstract
The trend in modern architecture towards high quality building envelopes continues. Besides its function as a design element, a façade also contributes to the building’s energy balance. The ventilated curtain wall combines both of them. Due to the separation of insulation and weather protection are versatile design options possible, while maintaining a high energy efficiency. When glass is used, the coloured enamelled or printed glass panel acts as a non-load-bearing cover plate which is attached to the load-bearing carrier plate and bonded with an elastic sealant in thickness of several millimetres (Figure 1). On one hand the construction has the advantage that glass acts like an optimal protection against rain and humidity. On the other hand the bonding process between the glass panel and load-bearing carrier plate is time-consuming because the elastic sealant needs several hours to cure. This fact and the low exploitation of the material potential is the reason for the idea of the novel hybrid façade elements made of fibre-reinforced plastic and glass.
