cmrhm

I once heared someone mentioned there are two types glass wall.
One is glass curtain wall, another one is named sth like "sandwich wall". I really don't know what iT is. Is it just a commone glass window?

Please share your input here. Thanks.

Are you talking about a "storefront" system?

It is properly not a storefront system.

Other ideas?

"curtain walls are hung from the floorslab above"

mdler: you just reminded me that all this various names might properly related to the construction details.

Since in my case, the tricky thing to bring up the naming questions is the corner of my building. I wonder if you guys could tell me the difference between the curtain wall and non-curtain wall in terms of the corner treatment?
