Cladding

A casement window is a window that hinges on its side, allowing it to swing open like a door, either outward or inward. They offer full opening for ventilation and unobstructed views, and can be made of wood or metal.

Key Features and Characteristics:

Hinged on the side: This is the defining feature, distinguishing it from sliding or double-hung windows.
Swing open: They swing open like a door, offering maximum ventilation and a clear view.
Materials: Typically made of wood, vinyl, aluminum, or fiberglass.
Opening mechanism: Often operated by a crank or lever.
Energy efficiency: Casement windows can be designed to create a tight seal when closed, improving energy efficiency.
Ventilation: Excellent for areas needing maximum airflow, like kitchens or bathrooms.
Types: Can be single or double-hung, push-out, French casement, or awning/hopper windows (hinged at top or bottom).

A sliding window is a window that opens by sliding horizontally along a top and bottom track in the window frame. It is somewhat similar to a double-hung window, just turned on its side. Sliding windows are available in a few different configurations to choose from, based on what would be best for your home.

How do sliding windows work?

To operate a sliding window, simply unlock the window, and push the window sash(es) to either the left or the right in the window track. Push the sash(es) back to their starting positions to close the window.

To clean a sliding window, you must remove the sash from the frame to clean both sides. A sliding window is not as easy to clean as other styles that tilt in, however, removing sliding window sashes can be done with little difficulty.

Pros and cons of sliding windows

Pros:

Easy to operate. Opening and closing a sliding window is very simple, making it easy to open your home to ventilation and enjoy nice weather and fresh air.
Low maintenance. Sliding windows are often built with fewer parts than other conventional window styles, making them low maintenance.
Durability. Sliding windows do not use pulleys or springs which can wear over time and affect the operation of the window.
Unobstructed views. Sliding windows provide plenty of natural light and expansive views of your surroundings.

Cons:

Cleaning. You must remove the sashes to clean the outside, unlike other window styles that tilt in for easy cleaning.
Half opening. Not all sashes on a sliding window can be opened, unlike double-hung or casement windows.
Water in sill. Water can sometimes pool in the sill of a sliding window, which can lead to future problems. Be sure to purchase sliding windows that have proper drainage holes to prevent this problem.

Pre-engineered steel buildings (PEB) are a steel structures built over a structural concept of primary members, secondary members, roof and wall sheeting connected to each other and various other building components. These buildings can be provided with different structural and non-structural additions such as skylights, wall lights, turbo vents, ridge ventilators, louvers, roof monitors, doors & windows, trusses, mezzanine floors, fascia’s, canopies. crane systems, insulation etc., based on the customer’s requirements. All the steel buildings are custom designed to be lighter in weight and high in strength. Thus, steel building designs have become more flexible, durable and adaptable over the last four decades which has made steel one of the preferred materials for building construction.

PEB’s are ideal for non-residential and wide-span low-rise buildings. Some of the key advantages of PEB include economical in cost, factory-controlled quality, durability, longevity, flexibility in expansion, environmentally friendly. faster installation, etc. Pre-engineered steel buildings are used for diverse applications such as factories, warehouses, showrooms, supermarkets, aircraft hangars, metro stations, offices, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, community buildings and many more.

To achieve a clean, seamless Glass look, Suspended Glazing is a very significant option in Glass Architecture. Using Glass Architecture to develop Suspended Glazings have a very high visual impact and needs to be engineered to detail as Structural Glazings have specific design parameters according to any requirement. We employ the use of structural sealant and calculated sealant bytes reference to the wind and seismic load along with dead load suspended glass. There are many variations available with glass selection, performance, colored, thickness and size range including other factors that help you customise your project right up to minute details.

Veneer has successfully undertaken many projects with its expertise in sustainable structural glazing which can be both large or small, wherein curved or flat laminated glass is glazed to a compatible steel element. This technique allows seamless and continuous glass look from outside elevation cutting the view of intermediate support elements like wood or steel.

ACP Sheet – The Best Cladding Material For Building

ACP cladding is the best for the building exterior. ACP sheets are one of the most preferred building cladding materials in today’s construction world due to their various properties like durability, weather, and stain resistance. Aluminum Composite Panel (ACP Panel) are flat panels manufactured using LDPE and aluminium. ACP sheets comprise several layers which are united to form a multilayer sheet.

The cladding plays an important part in elevating the look of the building’s exterior. Starting from glass panels, and wooden cladding to stone cladding, cladding is a part of ornamenting a building from time immemorial.

Out of numerous cladding materials in the market, the one which is on the rage for the last couple of decades is ACP cladding. It is done from ACP sheets, these sheets are made of thin aluminium sheets fixed with a thermoplastic core, making them look like sandwich panels.

Features of ACP Cladding

ACP cladding is a versatile and durable building material that offers a range of benefits, including:

Easy-Maintenance

They have hassle-free maintenance, you just need to wipe the surface using a cloth to remove the surface dust.

Budget-Friendly

Veneer Techno Solutions ACP sheets are also one of the most budget-friendly cladding materials on the market and they are also quite easy to install. Our ACP sheets provide the best cladding solutions for both interior and exterior surfaces.

HPL (High Pressure Laminate) cladding is an excellent option for those looking to enhance the durability, aesthetics, and energy efficiency of a building. HPL cladding or HPL wall cladding is a high-performance material that offers a range of benefits, including excellent weather resistance, durability, and low maintenance. It is an excellent option for those looking to enhance the appearance and functionality of a building.

What is HPL Wall Cladding?

HPL wall cladding, also known as HPL Exterior Cladding, is a type of exterior cladding material used in building construction. Manufacturers prepare it by combining layers of resin-impregnated kraft paper with a decorative layer and a protective overlay. It is then pressed together under high heat and pressure to create a durable and long-lasting material. It is used as a substitute for traditional materials such as wood, brick, and stone. Due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, it is considered as the best substitute.

Importance of HPL Exterior Cladding:

HPL Exterior cladding is an important component of building construction for several reasons:

Protection: HPL exterior cladding acts as a protective layer for the building, shielding it from the effects of weather, such as rain, wind, and snow, as well as from harmful UV rays. It also helps to prevent moisture from entering the building envelope, which can cause structural damage and mold growth.
Thermal insulation: HPL exterior cladding can provide insulation to the building, helping to reduce heat loss in cold weather and heat gain in hot weather. This can lead to energy savings and a more comfortable living or working environment.
Aesthetics: HPL exterior cladding can enhance the appearance of the building, making it more visually appealing and increasing its value. Cladding materials come in a range of colors, textures, and styles with Advance Laminates. It also makes room for customization and creativity in design.
Durability: HPL exterior cladding can improve the longevity of the building by protecting it from wear and tear. It protects it from the effects of ageing and weathering.
Fire resistance: Some types of HPL cladding, such as metal or fiber cement, are highly fire-resistant. It provides an additional layer of protection in case of a fire.

Fixed glazing is a cost-effective way to make your home feel more comfortable. You can fit this innovative glazing within a window, or as a transparent glass panel to fit inside your living space.

It’s a versatile addition you can install in many parts of your home, and one you can uniquely shape and design to fit spaces you otherwise couldn’t brighten up.

Fixed glazing can help you save money in your home in more ways than one. For a start, it can be cheaper to fit than a brand-new window, as you won’t need to add an opening system.

However, while it will stay closed, it can open your home up to better performance and energy-saving. The fixed glazing can preserve your home’s natural warmth better than older glass.

By installing fixed glazing, you can take control back of your home’s lighting and warmth. Not only will you prevent cold air from entering your space, thanks to the air-tight glazing, but you’ll add an area for natural light to flood into your home.

That way, you can make your home a brighter, more welcoming place with outstanding views of the outside world.

You can also install fixed glazing in many window styles. As a result, you can find a new look for your living space while reducing the cost.

While you may not be able to open the window to ventilate your home, you’ll be able to add brilliant sound insulation and security to your home.

Dry stone cladding is a process of cladding granite to external elevation of the building without application of cement. This system is totally based on the clamps, structural framework and anchor bolts. Hence in case of any breakage of a particular granite slab, the same can be individually replaced without disturbing the entire assembly.

In all the metros and many urban centres there is a rise in the culture among the individuals of Malls and Multiplexes, resulting in a huge increase of commercial construction with world-class amenities.

A curtain wall is an outer covering of a building in which the outer walls are non-structural, designed only to keep the weather out and the people in. Because the curtain wall façade carries no structural load beyond its own dead load weight, it can be made of lightweight materials. The wall transfers lateral wind loads upon it to the main building structure through connections at floors or columns of the building.

Curtain walls may be designed as “systems” integrating frame, wall panel, and weatherproofing materials. Steel frames have largely given way to aluminum extrusions. Glass is typically used for infill because it can reduce construction costs, provide an architecturally pleasing look, and allow natural light to penetrate deeper within the building. However, glass also makes the effects of light on visual comfort and solar heat gain in a building more difficult to control. Other common infills include stone veneer, metal panels, louvres, and operable windows or vents.

Unlike storefront systems, curtain wall systems are designed to span multiple floors, taking into consideration building sway and movement and design requirements such as thermal expansion and contraction; seismic requirements; water diversion; and thermal efficiency for cost-effective heating, cooling, and interior lighting.

A semi-unitized curtain wall glazing system is a type of structural glazing where the primary structural framing components are erected individually as an erector set. In this set, the vertical mullions are attached first to the floor slabs and the horizontals are attached to the vertical mullions to resemble a grid. The glass panel and the spandrel, which can be either glass or aluminium are shop glazed and installed into the assembled grid work. The joineries and perimeter sealants are fields installed. The semi unitized systems largely anchored to the face of the slab as embedded plates or inserts.

Advantages of Semi-Unitized Glazing

The vertical mullions in most semi-unitized glazing systems can span two floors with ease and as a result, provide greater structural efficiency.
Most semi-unitized glazing systems have shop-assembled or off-site assembled frames. This reduces the time and cost.

Limitations of Semi-Unitized Glazing

The flip-side of having off-site assembled frames is the increased transport cost and storage cost at the manufacturer’s place.

Unitized curtain systems are composed of large glass units that are created and glazed within a factory and then sent to the construction site. Since there is no on-site glazing, another major benefit of using a unitized system is the speed of installation

The unitized panels can use any combination of profiles, infill’s, external feature caps and glazing to give building designers complete aesthetic flexibility

Advantages of Unitized Glazing

Shorter programme times. Unitized solutions will help contractors and architects meet the increasing demand for shorter programme times, and can achieve impressive reductions in time on site of up to 70 per cent.
Improved quality control. Because the façade panels are completed off site, and the external envelope is less affected by inclement weather, quality control is much easier with unitized façades, giving greater peace of mind for the contractor and developer.

There are many good reasons to use glass partitions in offices as well as homes, glass partitioning:

Improves space and light

Solid walls can block light and reduce the sense of space. However, due to its’ clear, transparent quality, glass allows for the free flow of light and will not make a room look small or tight.

Improves the functionality of a space

There is a wide range of options available, meaning that your space can be functional as well as beautiful. There are glass partition systems specifically manufactured to reduce noise levels, increase privacy and offer a level of protection in a fire (fire-rated or ceramic glass).

It makes a space look beautiful or elegant

Glass walls are not heavy on the eye and are virtually conspicuous. Glass doors and glazing tracks can be purchased in various styles and colors. You can also add custom film or frosting to glass partitions to suit any interior design and taste.

Increases privacy

A level of noise reduction is possible when using acoustic glass and double glazed partition systems. You can also opt for switchable privacy smart glass; this opaque glass becomes transparent or opaque at the flick of a switch – ideal for bedrooms and meeting rooms.

Reduces costs and maintenance

Glass partitions for offices can often be re-used by deg lazing, adjusting and moving glass screens. They can also be installed from scratch relatively quickly. Once installed, glass partition walls require little maintenance. Glass can be easily wiped clean. If needed, panels can be replaced with little hassle – unlike traditional walls that will require repainting when dirty or re-plastering when damaged.

There are several differences between energy-efficient and regular windows. For the most part, these differences are what make the windows energy-efficient, so they are crucial to the design. As a result, when you decide to replace your standard windows with thermally efficient versions you can expect to see these features.

While the majority of regular windows are designed simply for more light and better ventilation, energy-efficient windows aim to achieve the following goals:

Reducing heat loss from the inside
Preventing air leakage either inside or out
Blocking ultraviolet rays from the sun

The glass which is used today is ‘float glass’ which has uniform thickness, better transparency and good optical properties. It can be produced in any length and major suppliers in India include Saint Gobain, Guardian & Asahi. These companies make clear glass in different thickness. Normal float glass, also called annealed glass, is available in glass shops across India.

Two other grades of glass are made by glass manufacturers. Tinted float glass or colored glass is used to reduce the effect of solar radiation, but the light transmission efficiency is also reduced. Coated float glass has a thin surface coating, which reflects radiant heat, but light transmission properties are retained. It is very useful in a hot country like India.

Other grades of glass manufactured in India include a) Patterned of Rolled Glass which is used for decorative purposes b) Wired Glass which is used for fire safety c) Extra Clear Glass which is used in high end applications for clarity & high color-rendering properties.
