NYC Sunscreen/Sunshade/Building Facade |
|
Glazing materials for curtain walling varied
from float glass, tempered glass, laminated glass to
double-glazed glass. As for metal cladding works, choices of
materials include solid aluminium panels, aluminium composite
panels, corrugated steel cladding and porcelain enamel panels.
Sunshades
and Sunscreens designed and built by NYC are generally of
the fixed metal types for building exterior. These
external shading devices reduce solar heat gain and glare in
interior spaces. Some benefits include :
- enhance human comfort inside
the building
- possibility to downsize
mechanical cooling equipment during design stage.
- Savings in energy resulting
from decreased use of and lesser demand on the cooling
system.
Sunshades are generally mounted
horizontally from the building, protruding from the roof or
around the facade. For cantilevered sunshades around the
building facade that provide shading for the windows or glass
curtain walling below, the protrusion depends on the required
degree angle of solar cut-off required during middle of the
day. Shade extrusion spacing controls the amount of indirect
sun light to optimise the efficiency of these shades. The
sunshades can also be designed to serve as walkways for
cleaning and maintenance of the external glazing.
Sunscreens are generally
mounted vertically on selected facades of a building, for
example west ward facing glazing walls. The types and profiles
of materials are selected to allow comfortable amounts of
indirect sun light to enter from the outside while also
allowing for adequate view to the outside.
In addition to the glass
curtain walling and wall cladding, building designers undoubtedly
quest for functional shading devices that compliment the
building's architecture, in search of suitable
materials and styles. We custom design and build the sunshades
and sunscreens in collaboration with the project consultants
for requirements of each project. Simple sunshades could
consist of readily available round or rectangular hollow
sections while specially extruded aluminium aerofoil and other
profiled extrusions are available. Other types include
perforated metal sheets and meshes. Shading materials for
sunscreens are casted grilles, die-casted aluminium patterned
screens, etc. At NYC
we offer our clients the distinct advantage of a complete
one-stop centre. We are fully equipped for the design,
fabrication and installation of both the supporting
structures the facade covering and the shading materials. Our knowledge and understanding on building walling
systems like glass curtain walls, aluminium claddings, stone
claddings etc, enable us to provide the appropriate detailing
and support system of the supporting frames to the building
structures located behind the different walling systems
mentioned.
