 Pengertian

A curtain wall system is an outer

covering of a building in which the
outer walls are non-structural, but
merely keep the weather out and the
occupants in.
 William Lescaze (Porcelain Association 1950): CW adalah suatu dinding
eksterior yang tidak memikul beban dan didukung pada tiap lantai
oleh struktur kerangka dari bangunan ybs.
 Chew Yit Lin: Curtain walls are non-loadbearing external walls of
buildings composed of repetitive factory assembled elements, with its
dead weight and wind loading transferred to the structural frame
through anchorage points. The most common materials for curtain
walling of tall commercial buildings are natural stone, metal sheetings
and glass.
 Allan J. Brookes: Curtain walling may be defined as non-loadbearing
walls, usually suspended in front of a structural frame, their own
deadweight and wind loadings being transferred to the structural
frame through anchorage points. Usually they consists of a rectangular
grid of vertical or horizontal framing with infill panels of glass or some
other lightweight panel, but that is not always so, for the term ‘curtain
walling’, encompasses a wide variety of systems.
 Francis D.K. Ching: CW atau Dinding Tirai atau Panel menurut FDK
Ching, et all (hal.232) adalah dinding eksterior nonstruktural yang
disokong sepenuhnya oleh rangka struktural baja atau beton, sehingga
tidak men yalurkan beban selain beban sendiri atau beban angin.
Dinding Tirai bisa terdiri dari bingkai logam menjepit kaca bening atau
opaq, ataupun panel beton, batu dan lembaran logam.
