Translational daylight roof is a special architectural design, which can change the size and position of the roof opening through the panning mechanism, so as to adjust the light and ventilation in the room. This type of design is commonly found in modern architecture, especially those that seek natural light and environmental protection.
From scratch", which describes the entire process of panning the roof from design conception to actual construction completion. Here are the high-level steps of the process:
Design ConceptArchitects and designers put forward the design concept of translational lighting roof according to the use needs of the building, geographical location, climatic conditions and other factors. They need to consider details such as the size, shape, material, and translation mechanism of the daylighting roof.
Structural analysisEngineers conduct structural analysis of the design to ensure that the roof can withstand various external forces (such as wind, rain, snow, etc.) during the translation process, and at the same time ensure the overall structural safety of the building.
Material Selection & ProcurementAccording to the design requirements, select the appropriate materials (such as glass, metal, etc.) for procurement. These materials need to meet certain requirements for strength, durability, light transmission, etc.
Processing and production: Processing and manufacturing of materials in the factory or on-site, including cutting, bending, welding and other processes, in order to produce lighting roof components that meet the design requirements.
Installation and construction: Transporting the finished lighting roof components to the site for installation and construction. This process requires precise measurement and positioning to ensure that the roof can be translated smoothly and that it maintains a good seal.
Commissioning and acceptance: After the installation is completed, the commissioning and acceptance work is carried out. Check that the panning mechanism of the daylight roof is smooth, that the sealing performance is good, and that there are any other potential problems.
Put into use and maintenanceAfter passing the acceptance, the translational lighting roof was officially put into use. During use, regular maintenance and upkeep are required to ensure its long-term stable operation.
In short, the process of "starting from scratch" is a complex and delicate process that requires the cooperation and efforts of architects, engineers, construction personnel and other parties. Through this process, the panning roof can achieve the perfect combination of function and aesthetics, bringing a unique light and shadow effect and ventilation experience to the building.
In the design and construction of panning roofs, the selection of high-quality materials is crucial. This is not only related to the service life and safety of the lighting roof, but also directly affects its use effect and overall appearance. Here are some suggested choices of quality materials:
Glass material
Tempered glassIt has the characteristics of high strength, impact resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, etc., and is one of the commonly used materials for lighting roofs. Its high light transmittance ensures good lighting effect.
Insulating glass: It is composed of two or more layers of glass sandwiched with an air layer or a special gas layer in between, with good thermal insulation and thermal insulation properties, suitable for cold or hot areas.
Laminated glass: PVB film is sandwiched between two layers of glass, even if the glass is broken, it will stick to the film, with high safety, suitable for frequent areas or places with large wind pressure.
Metal frame material
Stainless steelCorrosion resistance, high strength, long life, is one of the commonly used materials for high-end lighting roofs.
Aluminum alloy: Lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and easy processing and surface treatment, suitable for a variety of complex shapes of daylighting roofs.
Sealing material
Silicone sealant: It has good elasticity and water resistance, and is the preferred material for lighting roof sealing.
EPDM: Good weather resistance, anti-aging, suitable for long-term outdoor use of lighting roof sealing.
Drive and control systems
Choose a certified and stable drive motor, guide rail and control system to ensure the smooth and safe operation of the panning roof.
Shade material
If shading is required, consider using shades, blinds, or smart shading systems to regulate indoor light and temperature.
Attachment materials
Such as fasteners, connectors, etc., corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials should be selected to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
When choosing a material, in addition to its performance and quality, it should also consider its environmental friendliness, durability and maintenance costs. At the same time, it is recommended to cooperate with professional architects, engineers and contractors to ensure that the design and construction of the panning roof achieves the best results.
