ABSTRACT:
A curtain wall assembly in the form of an array of standardized curtain wall units. In its simplest form, each curtain wall unit comprises a panel or pane of glass or like material, and a generally rectangular frame supporting the panel. The panel has its top and bottom edge portions engaged respectively in gaps in the top and bottom members of the frame, whereas the opposite lateral edge portions of the panel are arranged exteriorly of the side frame members and secured thereto by a relatively rigid adhesive. The panels of the horizontally adjoining curtain wall units are secured edgewise to each other by a relatively elastic adhesive. Thus, viewed from the exterior side of the curtain wall assembly, the side frame members are concealed behind the panels for the enhancement of an aesthetic appeal of the complete curtain wall assembly. In the embodiment disclosed herein, the array of curtain wall units takes the form of vertically alternating rows of spandrel units and window units. The spandrel units and window units are both constructed in comformity with the above basic principles of the curtain wall units.
