PROJECT OF THE MONTH
- Project name: Sozialzentrum Ludesch Early participation by AST for completion of this project in the sector of solutions for solar protection, could once again be demonstrated very effectively. By maintaining close contact between architects, installation partners and AST during the planning and implementation phases, these oversize shutter elements could be matched perfectly to the facade. The biggest challenge was posed by the size of the elements of up to 3100 x 3200 mm. Since a requirement was that 3 elements should be able to slide behind one another, modified fittings constructed to accommodate this load had to be designed as well. In accordance with the customer's requirements, the standard SL model was not to be used and therefore step by step, a suitable customized solution had to be evolved. The model used in this case has a full frame design of 70 x 30 mm extruded aluminium profile, which is fitted with an additional inside L-profile. In order to increase shutter rigidity, additional transverse profiles were incorporated at the same height as the window transoms. This was possible because the shutter has its minimum depth at that point. The wavy-surfaced bevelled and perforated aluminium sheet is then attached to the frame and coated with the desired NCS colour. The respective runners and guide rails are finished the same way, in whichever colour is desired. The elements can be moved in a total of 3 planes, to provide stylish solar protection for the extensively glazed facade. The fitting method used is characterized by its ease of use, as well as silent running and precise operation. In addition, using motorized drives, the elements can be moved automatically as though by hand. Furthermore, up to 3 panels are linked to one another. Handling this size of panel presents a challenge at all process stages, without even mentioning the problem of safe and secure transportation. All the more reason to emphasise the importance of the preparatory work in the factory, which makes installation on site significantly easier for the customer and saves considerable time.
