Introduction
The Semi-hidden Frame Glass Curtain Wall blends the advantages of both exposed and hidden systems. One direction of the frame (vertical or horizontal) is concealed behind the glass, while the other remains visible. This allows designers to play with linear patterns and shadow effects.

Two Subtypes:

• Vertical-hidden & Horizontal-exposed : Vertical mullions are hidden; horizontal transoms are visible. Creates strong horizontal banding, emphasizing width.

• Horizontal-hidden & Vertical-exposed : Horizontal transoms are hidden; vertical mullions are visible. Produces clean vertical lines, emphasizing height.

Application Scenarios

• Mixed-use commercial buildings

• Airport terminals and train stations

• Convention centers

• High-end residential developments

Key Advantages

• Design Flexibility: Choose horizontal or vertical emphasis based on architectural vision.

• Balanced Performance: Hidden parts improve visual continuity; exposed parts add structural clarity.

• Cost-Effective Alternative: More affordable than fully hidden systems while offering a similar look.

• Easy Drainage & Ventilation: Exposed frames can incorporate weep holes and opening vents.
