 CURVED LAMINATED GLASS WINDOWS FOR BEAUTY AND PERFORMANCE Laminated glass windows are not new, especially in windborne debris regions of the United States where hurricanes are a threat or outdoor noise is a problem.  Window manufacturers can supply a variety of window types, including fixed and operable models, that are not only energy efficient, but provide many other benefits. Security Laminated glass is often used in residential windows for impact resistance and security. The interlayer retains glass fragments after breakage, so that a broken laminated lite will remain in place until replacement can be made.  Depending on the weather or security threat, the interlayer will increase in thickness. Ultra-violet Damage Protection Another benefit of laminated glass in residential windows is its ability to filter harmful ultraviolet rays, a major cause of fading inside a home.  Most laminated glass interlayers filter up to 99% UV below 380 nanometers. Although fabr...

 Strength is a real test of a aluminum  handrail or a aluminum stair railing Before you start installing your handrail, make sure to double-check aluminum handrail codes. First, residential railings must adhere to the standards published in the International Residential Code (IRC), which was developed by the International Code Council. The current code was updated in 2018, and you can find residential aluminum handrail requirements in the Building Planning section of the code. You should also check your area building codes for aluminum handrail requirements, residential building permits, and helpful remodeling regulations. Finally, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which has several requirements for handrails and guards in commercial spaces. Once you can confirm that your future aluminum handrail meets these requirements, you can move forward. Strength is a real test of a aluminum  handrail or a aluminum stair railing ....

 The use of Terracotta louver as a building material flourished from 1880 through the 1930s In the latter half of the 19th century, catastrophic fires in many American cities coincided with technological developments to propel the once niche use of baked earth into mainstream urban design. After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, it was found that many cast iron structural supports failed in the brutal heat of fire, while stone and brick components often cracked. In response, engineers made a concerted effort to develop more fire-resistant materials to protect structural components and maintain the façade's integrity. In the search for something stronger, Terracotta louver turned out to be flame resistant and adequately protect structural metal beams and other vulnerable areas. With high-rise architecture, skyscrapers and steel-framed buildings came a higher demand for resilient exterior materials that were also light and customizable. Designers wanted to find a more productive way t...

 History of Balustrades Let’s dive further into the differences between balustrades and handrails. Architecture buffs might be interested in the history of balustrades , which involves several rich architectural traditions.  According to Architectural Digest, the earliest examples of balustrades come from ancient bas-reliefs (think of them as sculptural murals) dating as far back as the 7th century B.C.  And while they apparently don’t appear in the Greek and Roman eras (at least, not according to architectural ruins), they were used in a variety of Italian palaces in the late fifteenth century. Given their rich history, it’s no surprise that home and business owners utilize balustrades to this day. Balustrades can also come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, often tailored to the style of the home or business. So, what is the difference between a balustrade and a handrail? Let’s revisit that Romeo and Juliet analogy. While Juliet likely used a handrail to climb to th...

 How Terracotta Facades Are Changing the Face of China Chinese architecture is one of the oldest and most influential in the world. The staples of traditional Chinese architecture – more specifically, the timberwork frames, primaryful stone carving, rammed earth constructions, bucket arch buildings and many other techniques – set it apart from other architectural styles by providing the buildings with grace and a certain sense of mystique. However, in the last few years, the landscape of Chinese cities has been changing. A new wave of ambitious, enthusiastic young Western-educated architects have attempted to blend elements of ancient Chinese architectural design with modern principles. One of these new additions is the introduction of terracotta and other eco-friendly building materials . Here is how terracotta facades are changing the face of China. https://www.paneltekterracotta.com/product/wholesale-terracotta-louver-decorated-terracotta-facade-panel.html mobile :+86-592-5723...

 For terracotta rainscreen cladding applications For terracotta rainscreen cladding applications, not all fiber cement panels are created equally. Togen is pleased to offer Paneltek products that are air-cured, a process where cement-based products cure naturally, with a 28-day curing process, that uses saves energy and reduces internal panel stress. An air-cured fiber cement product is always superior to an autoclaved product, as the panels are dried naturally over time, allowing for natural chemical bonding of the fibers and taking out the added heat energy and internal panel stress. To assist the design community, Paneltek and Togen have developed a comparison of the characteristics of Air-cured Fiber Cement versus Autoclaved Fiber Cement. Ingredients and heating create very different crystal structures, resulting in products that are not the same. We hope the discussion will provide additional insight for designers who are committed to sustainability manufactured, high-perfor...

 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. https://www.paneltekterracotta.com/product/decorat...
