A modular system with aesthetics and high performance. Their material and technical aspects.
Create new living spaces is the goal of every architectural project. Along with the technology applied will achieve real solutions for the inhabitant to feel ever better in your context.
Towards this direction are the enclosures to comprehensive, and definitive solution for those who want to close sectors and create new environments. Beyond the classical openings, the most novel are the different types of roof for covering winter gardens, galleries and patios, or a living room.
High performance
The classical enclosures of roofs were enhanced by contributions of technology and of creativity, until you get to the sunroofs.
“It is a roof system of high performance developed to achieve surfaces translucent modulated that provides an aesthetic solution and modern, and optimized environments in homes, buildings, and facades-commercial, in accordance with the architectural needs of each place”, says Sebastian Megevand, owner of the company is Integral to the Aluminum, only that it designs and manufactures in Cordoba.
Are driven by a motorized system; provide ventilation, and create environments innovative and versatile. “We talk about ceilings, fully sealed, require no maintenance and have high durability,” adds the specialist.
Main advantages
These ceilings provide more light, as the main detail. Also highlighted by the following:
Provide greater ventilation, something very nice and useful for environments with blind or closed.
Represent a solution suitable for the pool during the cooler months will be able to better conserve the solar energy and increase the temperature; in summer provide a perfect circulation of the air.
Usually, the materials used for its construction are the polycarbonate and glass, which are mounted on an aluminium structure. In it are spliced to the guides that will be used as the translucent leaves. “It is necessary that during the installation you will manage all kinds of leaks with weather stripping, tires or sealants special”, indicates the expert.
The structure is light, entirely made of aluminium. The cladding panels can be made of polycarbonate alveolar of eight millimeters or laminated glass (4+4 mm).
Allow for an increase in the area built of the dwelling by adding new outdoor spaces in a way that is stylish and useful.
Is adapted to the design of any space. In terms of their functioning, provide an opening from 50 per cent to 75 per cent in drive stepped. Simply push a button to actuate the mechanism.
To permit the admission of air, it does not create the greenhouse effect that usually occurs in enclosures fixed.
Technical aspects
The system is modular, consisting of studs of different sections of pipes that ensure structural rigidity, amurados using anchors special and that allow the assembly of modules, which contain two, three or four cloths mobile, according to the need of space for you to discover. You have two options of cloths according to the desired aesthetic.
Complement with gutters for gutters aluminum. You can download the water on the floor, on the grid or existing on the roofs of the contiguous, and used the combination of babetas and special sealants, which gets a double cord edge, which ensures total water-resistance.
Finally, in addition to an environment, and protect the adjacent, you get an overhang of permanent fixed panels above, which increases the value of the property.
Why choose them
