Maintenance Considerationcommon problem sources where failures tocurtain wall often occurDesign failure – selection and appropriateness of thesystem, non-compliance to design and performancestandards, imperfection in the jointing design anddetailing, improper use of materials etc.Construction and structural failure – wrong locationor method of fixing, improper anchorage andconnection provision (including failure in welding),failure in the walling components, unpredicteddeflection or deformation appears in the backgroundstructure, poor supervision and workmanship.
Maintenance Considerationcommon problem sources where failures tocurtain wall often occur (cont.)Aging and deterioration – discolouring and surfacedamaging due to weather action; corrosion due to airpollution, acid rain, or electro-chemical effect todissimilar metals; aging and hardening of the glazingcompound or sealing gasket, deteriorating of theinsulating materials that lead to further dampening ofthe walling materials/components, disfiguring orloosening of the fixing and connections, loosening orbroken-off of the glazing or other fitting items.
