Few Features About Terracotta Louver Sunscreen System

If the terracotta louver sunscreen system is engineered according to the latitude of the project, the analysis of the site location, the local climate, the project orientation, and the effect obtained by the curtain wall sunscreen system during different periods over the year depending on the building's use, then the beneficial effects will be guaranteed. What is more, the aesthetic advantage of a sunscreen system is appreciated both from inside and outside the building.

What is the advantages of terracotta sunscreen?

1. Using a sunscreen louver causes in a limited temperature increasing inside the building and a reducing of the use of air-conditioning. An external screen is indeed a more effective instrument of solar control compared to an internal screen, as solar radiation is, during summer months, intercepted prior to reaching the glass surfaces, avoiding the greenhouse effect and the ensuing overheating of the environments. On the contrary, Internal screens can allow the light to pass through the glass, requiring finally the removal of the heat accumulated inside the building by means of mechanical ventilation or air-conditioning.

2. Sunscreens protect objects located close to the windows against harmful ultraviolet rays and persons against glare.

3. In summer, the luminosity is concentrated and fierce without a terracotta sunscreen. Without a terracotta louver sunscreen the glazed unit trasmits almost all the solar energy inside, overheating the interior. Sunscreens filter and diffuse the light towards the interior of the building. Most of the energy carried by solar rays is stopped by the sunscreen.

4. While in winter, without a sunscreen the glazed unit trasmits most of the solar energy inside.

The key parameter to define the quality of the light in domestic or working surroundings is the determination of the daylight factor. During engineering, the natural light quantity and the illumination in the project environment level need to be established through specific analysis. LOPO Terracotta louver sunscreen system allows regulating the light flow transmitted by the open spaces, which making the premises more comfortable for those using them.

Using terracotta wall sunscreen can reduce heat dispersions from the openings during winter and limits the "cooling" effect caused by wind action. At the same time, sunscreen system allows sunrays to reach the interior of a building during the day, which will create a natural heating if engineered correctly.

Categories Of Rainscreen Cladding

Rainscreens can basically be classified into two categories, that is simple rainscreens and pressure-equalized rainscreens.

Simple rainscreens is generally sufficient for areas experiencing low rainfall. A simple rainscreen cladding is vented, while the support wall which covered with a waterproof material is airtight. The base of the wall often has a drain. One of the typical example of this kind of rainscreen would be a brick masonry finish above a concrete wall.

The second categories, pressure-equalized rainscreen’s structures is more advanced and was best protected Structures in areas that experience heavy rainfalls. The vents within the cladding enable the air contained in the cavity to bang against the layer of air barrier of the support wall as a rainstorm hits the building. the moisture is prevented from entering the structure because of the balancing of the outer and the inner pressure.

However, this balancing of two pressures works better in theory than in practice. But it helps a lot to compartmentalize the cavity. To further prevent the rainwater from piercing through the cladding, the sizing of joints delivers excellent results. For getting the best results, it is very important to employ quality sealants, and also drainage layers over the support walls to ensure that the pressure balancing wall facade system works efficiently.

It is quite essential to provide buildings with rainscreen cladding, which help keeping the exterior wall cladding strong for a long time, and also save the nuisance of frequent repairs of the building. Since rainscreen system can prevent the decay of a building due to moisture, they also help making the building a safer place to live and work.

The natural difference in the color and luster between the original surface and the carved surface of the terracotta panels make the entire pattern show a three-dimensional effect with sketch-like outline, being harmonious with the style of the entire Memorial Hall While also adding vivid touch to the originally insipid walls.

As an environment-friendly curtain wall material, terracotta panel is suitable to be used in both external walls and interior decoration. Functionally, terracotta panel can provide good sound proof and thermal insulation effect. The color of terracotta panel is formed naturally when natural clay is fired at high temperature, and the color and luster are natural, warm and fadeless. Different visual effects will appear when the patterns are under either natural light or indoor lighting. Meanwhile, by micro-carving on the terracotta panel, in combination with sculpturing, coloring and jointing, different patterns can be generated on the interior wall, which provides ample options for interior decoration.

Good news is that you can use manufactured stone without concerning those problems. The weight of manufactured stone is far less than natural stone. It does no required any structural changes at all if using cultured stone on a fireplace. Besides that, artificial cultured stone is non-combustible, just like real stone, so it's perfectly safe to use, too. And you also don't need a concrete base or backing to use manufactured stone veneer inside or outside. Cultured stone can be installed on almost any surface, which cuts down the weight and the prep time, so installation takes less time and costs less at the same time.

The Increasing Demand of Terracotta Rainscreen in the Architectural System

As you may know, one of the latest technologies used by the real estate and architecture industry to meet the new standards in housing decoration is rainscreen system. This wall cladding system is the resistance to rain damages that can be a result of a gradual erosion of the walls of a property. The rain-screen principle requires the control of all the forces handled by a drained cavity wall and the air pressure difference acting across the wall facade cladding. Few people know that rains and wind can cause dramatic changes in a building or a house exterior wall. What's more, the weather changes can cause a lot of effect like corrosion of anchors of exterior cladding, efflorescence on masonry, damage and staining of interior finishes etc. On the physical side, the appearance, the function, and the comfort of the space, can lead to inconveniences to the residents or the tenants of a home or a building.
