Tips on Selecting the Right Louvre for your Building Project

图片
  Although every commercial and industrial building requires louvres, either for ventilation or simply as a vision screen, there in often insufficient consideration given to exactly what the system is required to achieve. When selecting the right louvre, these basic factors must be taken into consideration.   Ÿ    Site location and exposure Ÿ    Severity of local (site) weather conditions Ÿ    Building use Ÿ    Airflow rate and direction through louvre Ÿ    Maximum acceptable pressure drops Ÿ    Degree and depth of water penetration acceptable Ÿ    Aesthetics of the building   Ultimately, everyone wants 100% rain defense and 100% air flow. However, this is not always achievable and there is a compromise between these two performance factors. Whether the site is located in a rain/snow-stricken area would be a key point when specifying louvres.   Building for different purpose...

Q&A for Togen Louvre Products

图片
  Q: What is a louvre? A: A louvre is a framed opening, as in a wall, door or window, fitted with fixed or moveable horizontal slats for allowing air and light through whilst stopping rain.   Q: How do louvres function? A: Louvres are designed for two apparently contradictory functions: to allow air in and keep water out. The blades provide protection, while the openings allow airflow. For a building such as a car park, ventilation will be more important than protection but, in most cases, the final design will be the result of a carefully considered compromise.   Q: What is free area? A: Free area is derived by taking the total open area of a louver (after subtracting all obstructions - blades and frame) and dividing by the overall wall opening. This gives a comparison of a louvered opening to an unobstructed opening. Common louver free areas range from 35% to 60% of the wall opening (65% to 40% obstructed). Typically, Percentage Free Area of a louvre is ...

Q&A for Honeycomb Aluminum Panel

图片
  Honeycomb aluminum panel has become increasingly popular these years with its strong structure, light weight, and cost effectiveness features. However, it is yet to be familiar to many of us. Why is it worth using and what scenarios could it fit in to? Now let’s find out together.   Q: What is honeycomb aluminum panel and what are the strengths of it? A: Just like the honeycomb, the core is formed by a bunch of hexagons, the strongest shape known. In a hexagonal structure, each line is as short as it can possibly be if a large area is to be filled with the fewest number of hexagons. This means that honeycombs require fewer raw materials to construct and gain lots of strength under compression. Light, inexpensive, safe, and with high strength, aluminum honeycomb panel can be a good choice for your building project.     Q: What is honeycomb aluminum panel used for? A: Honeycomb aluminum panel is widely used in architecture and has gain popularity w...

Digital Printing Glass – The Rising Star of Architectural Glass

图片
  Digital printing glass, also known as digital ceramic printing glass, is manufactured with digital ceramic printing on glass, a technological development used for the application of imagery, pattern or text to the surface of flat glass.

Some Facts of Aluminum Expanded Mesh

图片
  Aluminum expanded mesh is a type of sheet metal which has been cut and stretched to form a regular pattern of metal mesh-like material. It has been used universally in the construction industry.   Patterns Some regular patterns are circles, squares, and diamonds; diamonds are the most popular shapes because of how well the shape absorbs energy and resists mechanical deformation after installation. Other design considerations are the size and angles of the shapes, which will also affect how well the metal absorbs energy and where the energy is spread throughout the expanded metal.   Features & Benefits Ÿ    Durable, long lasting, and abrasion resistant. Ÿ    With high strength and stability. Ÿ    Light and convenient but extremely tough, and with good anti-stress ability.   Application In contemporary construction, aluminum expanded metal has been used as an exterior facade or screen material which can be forme...

Wood yet not Wood – The Woodgrain Roller Coating Aluminum Panel

图片
  In recent years, the popularity of using woo d as a building material has increased for it is natural, elegant, and with good aesthetic value. However, the shortcomings of wood also make people flinch as it might deformed, get rotten, and even be exposed to fire hazards if not taken good care of. 1. Safety Natural wood is a combustible material and it needs extra care in wet climates . In contrast, woodgrain roller coating aluminum panel is highly fireproof and will not expand or deform even with prolonged exposure to moisture .   2. Realistic wood patterns and texture Having analyzed the patterns and texture and with the help of roller coating and embossing techniques, the woodgrain roller coating aluminum panels present wood patterns and texture so vividly that people would not have realized they are actually metal sheets with their own bare eyes.   3. Cost Saving Natural wood can be pricey, especially those rare ones. Aluminum, on the other hand, is...

Why Togen Low-E Glass?

图片
Low-E coating stands for low-emittance coating on a window or skylight. The low-e coating, placed on the inside of the insulating glass unit, enabled the sun’s short-wave energy to enter the room and at the same time prevented internal warm air from leaving the room, thus reducing the overall flow of heat through the window. Togen, as your building materials in good hands, is ready to offer advice and services on how to make a perfect design tailored to your specific project. 1. We are experienced in low-e coating glass for many years. We can give glass performance simulation meeting the project’s optical and thermal requirement. 2.
