Is a curtain wall the same as a window wall?

It is common to find windows adorning mid-rise and high-rise buildings. From outsider people‘s perspectives, these buildings are covered in glass windows rather than other standard building materials.

In the industry, this design feature is often referred to as a curtain wall or window wall. Sometimes professionals use these terms interchangeably. However, there are some subtle but important differences between the two terms.

Curtain walls require fire protection between floors and may have noise transmission issues. In addition, curtain walls are relatively costly compared to traditional floor-to-ceiling windows. But curtain well let more sunshine in, which is more popular in nowadays. Light and warm enviroment bring us more happiness and comfort.

Window walls are located between floors and are fixed to sills and tops. They are installed inside the building and extend to the exterior of the building. They typically span no more than 12 feet from floor to floor and are not load bearing.

Window walls are prefabricated and ready to install. Since the window walls are located between floor slabs, they do not require fire protection. In addition, noise transmission is not a major problem. Window walls are an economical and stylish option for obtaining a ground-to-roof window appearance without costly or operational problems.

What factors affect the cost of aluminum extrusions for windows?

The way aluminum extrusions for windows are made directly affects their cost. The higher the quality of the window, the higher the cost. High-quality aluminum windows perform better and last longer than low-quality windows. There are generally five common factors that affect the cost of Architecture Aluminium Profile for windows:

 

Window style and size. The style and size of aluminum extrusions for windows are one of the biggest factors affecting cost. The more complex the style, the more cumbersome the production process, and the higher the price. The larger the size, the more raw materials are used, and the price is naturally higher.

 

Coating quality. Sometimes, coatings need to be added to aluminum extrusions for windows. These coatings need to be paid for separately. Some are high-quality anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion coatings, which will also cost more.

 

Window customization. Each customization added to aluminum extrusions for windows will increase the total cost of the project. Things that usually need to be customized on replacement windows include interior and exterior frame colors, hardware styles and finishes, grid patterns, etc. And these customizations cannot be mass-produced, often requiring machine parameters to be debugged to produce them, and the time cost will also be higher, all of which will increase costs.

 

Raw material price. Raw material price is also one of the factors that affect the price of aluminum extrusion profiles for windows. If the raw material price rises, the price of aluminum extrusion profiles for windows will also rise. Similarly, if the manufacturer can get a better raw material price, the price of aluminum extrusion profiles for windows will also be lower.

What is the main difference between standard aluminum profiles and non-standard aluminum profiles?

As a professional aluminum profile factory, Guangya Aluminum can provide standard aluminum profiles and non-standard (customized) aluminum profiles according to customer requirements. What is the main difference between standard aluminum profiles and non-standard aluminum profiles? Guangya Aluminum will answer this question through this article.

 

Standard Aluminum Profiles:

  • Standard aluminum profiles are pre-designed shapes that are readily available from manufacturers.
  • These profiles typically follow industry-standard dimensions, such as those set by organizations like the Aluminum Association or European Aluminium.
  • Standard profiles are mass-produced and kept in stock by manufacturers, making them readily available for purchase with shorter lead times.
  • They are often more cost-effective compared to custom profiles because the manufacturing processes are optimized for mass production.

 

Non-Standard (Custom) Aluminum Profiles:

  • Non-standard or custom aluminum profiles are specifically designed and manufactured to meet the unique requirements of a particular application.
  • These profiles are tailored to the specific dimensions, shapes, and functionalities needed for a particular project or application.
  • Custom profiles can be designed to optimize structural integrity, reduce material waste, or meet aesthetic preferences that cannot be achieved with standard profiles.
  • Designing and manufacturing custom profiles typically involve additional time and cost compared to standard profiles due to the need for custom tooling and specialized manufacturing processes.

 

While standard profiles offer convenience and cost savings for many applications, custom profiles provide tailored solutions for projects with unique specifications.

 

Why Two-Component Marking Paints Are More Suitable for Heavy Traffic Sections?

Why Two-Component Marking Paints Are More Suitable for Heavy Traffic Sections?

 


 

There are roughly three types of road marking paint on the market, namely: waterborne marking paint, hot melt marking paint, and two-component marking paint. So, what are the differences between these types of markings, and which type is more suitable for heavy traffic sections?

 

1.      The waterborne marking paint has poor wear resistance and can only be used for about three months to half a year. Moreover, because the paint itself does not adhere firmly to the glass beads, the marking does not have reflective performance; despite the construction and maintenance efficiency of the marking project higher, but it’s not that appreciate to be used in heavy traffic sections. Usually,waterborne markings are more suitable for first- and second-level highways in cities and sections with less traffic.

 

2.      The wear resistance of hot melt marking paint is better than the waterborne markings. It can be used for more than one year in heavy traffic areas. Usually,hot melt paints are mixed with drop-on glass beads to make road markings reflect light. However, since the main raw material of hot-melt marking paint is C5 petroleum resin, which is greatly affected by temperature changes, markings will become sticky under high temperatures in summer and easily adhere to dirt, especially in cities with serious environmental pollution, the markings will not be stain resistant.

 

3.      The two-component marking paint has the strongest wear resistance among the three and can be used for more than 2 years even on roads with heavy traffic. The main raw material of the two-component marking paint is methyl methacrylate, which prevents the two-component marking from being affected by temperature changes and wear-resistant and crack-resistant fibers after the marking is damaged. It also has a good effect on glass beads. The excellent adhesiveness prevents the glass beads on the marking surface from falling off easily. When carrying out marking maintenance, there is no need to remove the old markings. You only need to polish the surface of the old markings and then spray paint a layer of two-component high-brightness markings, thus further improving the efficiency of marking maintenance.

 

It's important to note that different manufacturers may have proprietary formulations or variations in resin types for road marking paints. Additionally, regional regulations and standards may influence the choice of resin for road marking applications.

 

The ultimate purpose of installing and maintaining road markings is to improve road safety; for this, high-quality raw traffic safety materials are essential.

How to Solve Bubbles in Road Markings?

How to Solve Bubbles in Road Markings

 


 

 

All roads should be clean and dry during the marking construction. Moisture is the most harmful factor in the adhesion of paint and pavement. The amount of moisture in the ground is enough to affect proper coating adhesion. Early morning dew and fog usually result in wet roads. If there is too much moisture on the road surface, it usually leads to blistering of the hot melt markings. Blisters will form as surface bubbles and may not burst. If this happens, the marking construction should be stopped until the road surface is dry. The only way to determine the presence of moisture is to perform a test. There are many ways to test for moisture:

1. Place a 30cm square thin plexiglass plate (aluminum foil, etc.) on the road with tape, and seal the surrounding edges with tape. After 15 minutes, check the bottom of the board and the road surface. If the moisture is too much, do not hot melt marking construction.

2. Place a 45cm square tar paper on the road surface and coat it with hot melt paint heated to 215 degrees Celsius. Wait two minutes and pick up the tar paper. Check the underside. If there is moisture, do not hot melt construction.

The ultimate purpose of installing and maintaining road markings is to improve road safety; for this, high-quality raw traffic safety materials are essential.

Detailed Process of Hot Melt Marking Construction

Detailed Process of Hot Melt Marking Construction

 

 

 

1.    Road Cleaning

Before construction, the nearby area must be cleaned to ensure that there are no impurities such as oil, water, fallen leaves, weeds, etc., so as not to affect the adhesion, smoothness, and reflective effect of the markings.

 

2.    Full Scale Plotting

During the setting out process, calculations and measurements must be made strictly in accordance with the construction drawings. Measure the number of lanes that need to be marked on the road, fix the points, and then mark them with a slate pen. Use titanium dioxide or double flying powder to stick a hemp rope to stretch the line. After the rope is removed, make corrections and improve it to ensure that the line shape is clear and accurate.

 

3. Lower Coating Agent Application

The primer is a common adhesive used in hot-melt marking construction. Applying it on the highway pavement can make the hot-melt paint better adhere to the road surface.

 

4. Hot melt coating application construction

Before construction, first check the relevant coating equipment.

As the trolley moves forward, the paint will form a film on the road surface, and a layer of glass beads will be spread on the film during the coating process. When the trolley moves forward, use the reference waterline as the ruler to control the thickness and width of the markings to ensure the coordination, clarity, and smoothness of the markings at the connection between straight lines and curves.

Note: During the coating process, in order to avoid settling and separation of the paint, the paint needs to be stirred frequently.

 

5. Line modification and opening to traffic

After the paint application is completed, check and correct the marked line shape, check the spread of glass beads, etc. After confirmation, clean up the construction site.

After the markings are dry and hardened, the relevant construction equipment can be moved, safety facilities removed, and traffic opened.

 

The ultimate purpose of installing and maintaining road markings is to improve road safety; for this, high-quality raw traffic safety materials are essential.

How to better maintain WPC DIY tiles ?

WPC DIY tiles are a composite floor made of wood powder and plastic particles. They are usually 30cm*30cm in size. Compared with traditional solid wood floors, they are more durable and waterproof. But this does not mean that we can use it casually, any product needs to be cherished. WPC DIY tiles are easily affected by sharp objects and heavy objects such as high heels, sofas and other daily necessities. In some cases, wet weather or pet paws can also pose a threat to WPC DIY tiles. Here are some suggestions to help you better care for your WPC DIY tiles.

 

Part 1 USE SOME PROPS

 

Ⅰ Place a welcome mat at the door

When we come home from the outdoors, never enter the house with your shoes on. Dirt, gravel, and sand may be hidden in the gaps of the soles, and these hard objects can easily scratch WPC DIY tiles. Placing a mat at the door can effectively prevent this from happening. It will remind everyone who enters the house to change shoes or clean the soles at the door.

 

 Lay carpet under the heavy objects

There are often many heavy objects in your house, such as sofas, cabinets, etc. If you accidentally move these heavy objects, it will leave traces on the tiles, which is very distressing. Laying carpet under these heavy objects can effectively reduce scratches and avoid heavy objects from scratching and damaging WPC DIY tiles.

 

Ⅲ Install protective pads on the bottom of furniture

Furniture such as tables and chairs have sharp feet. In daily use, we may move these furniture and accidentally leave marks on the tiles. Foot pads will help prevent damage to the tiles from the base of furniture or other sharp objects.

It is recommended to buy a protective pad with glue on one side, which can be directly stuck to the bottom of the furniture without the need to apply glue yourself.

 

Remember to check the protective pads you install regularly. The protective pad may fall off due to the glue losing its stickiness or the protective pad may be severely worn and lose its protective function.

 

 

 

 

IV Use rubber wheels instead of plastic wheels

We like to use a chair with wheels at the computer desk in the study. Not only do hard plastic wheels not slide as smoothly, they can also cause a lot of damage to the tiles. From now on, remove the plastic casters from your chairs and replace them with rubber wheels.

 

 

 

 

Part 2 TREAT YOUR WPC DIY TILES GENTLY

 

 Lift instead of drag

When moving furniture, please do not drag or push it forcefully. If you are strong enough, lift it up and move it. If you can't do it alone, ask friends or family for help.

 

 

 

 

 Use a small trailer to transport furniture

If you feel that it is too strenuous to carry heavy furniture all the time, you can buy a small trailer, lift the furniture onto the small trailer, and then move the small trailer, which can save a lot of effort.

 

      It is worth noting that when buying a small trailer, try to buy a small trailer with rubber wheels and pay attention to its load capacity. The items you need to transport cannot exceed its load capacity.

 

 Trim your pet’s nails

The long claws of pets can cause damage to WPC DIY tiles. Cats have the habit of sharpening their claws, and dogs have the habit of digging holes. If there is no special place for them to move around, you need to trim your pet's nails in time.

 

 

 

 

Part3 HOW TO CLEAN WPC DIY TILES

 

 Do not mop the floor with a mop that is too wet

Cleaning tiles with a mop that is too wet can cause excess moisture to seep underneath, making tiles brittle if they are soaked in water for a long time in a humid environment. If you have higher requirements for cleaning, you can purchase a cleaning spray specially designed for floors and wipe the floor with a cloth or dry mop.

 

 

 

 

 Do not use a vacuum cleaner with a hard brush head

Please do not use vacuum cleaners with rotating brush heads or hard brush heads on WPC DIY tiles. High-speed rotating brush heads can scratch the floor. It is worth noting that before using the vacuum cleaner, please check the following vacuum cleaner wheels to ensure that there is no dirt or grit hidden in the middle.
