Column-cover-and-spandrel systemColumn-cover-and-spandrel system consists of columncovers, which are usually made of alloyed aluminum,metal sheet or other laminated/fibre-reinforced sheet, andwith glazing components and spandrel panels that fitbetween them. It resembles certain similarity to a unitand-mullionsystem except that the structure of thebuilding is exemplified by the column covers.With the exception of the stick system and the unitsystem, other curtain wall systems are seldom used inHong Kong.
Structural glazing systemThe merit of using structural glazing system as external wallis to minimize the unglazed elements as much as possible,leaving glass panel almost as the only glazed surface on thewall. This can be done by providing larger mullion supportswhich span outward away from the structural floor of abuilding. Special clamping devices such as a spider bracketcan be used to hold the glazing panel in position. Structuralsealant is used to seal up the gap between the glazing panels.Structural glazing system often called also as the glass wall.It can sometimes be supported using a structural steel frameinstead of by the building frame itself thus easily give a freeand open form of design to building.
