Choosing the right materials with the climate

Choosing the right materials with the climate

Choosing the right materials with the climate of the region is one of the most important issues for choosing the material in the facade of the building.

In areas where there is only one critical season during the year
And the weather conditions of other seasons are within the comfort zone,
The characteristics of the materials should be determined based on the critical season.

But when there are two critical seasons in a region (such as very cold winters and very hot summers),
The strength and heat capacity of the material must be such that it meets the needs of both seasons.

Wet areas

In humid areas, it is best to use lightweight building materials with low thermal resistance
Like composite aluminum sheet, which is considered a lightweight building material
And according to the moisture resistance test, no damage such as cracks, blisters and scaling was observed on the surface of the composite aluminum sheet.

Tropical areas

In tropical areas, a small amount of thermal insulation is sufficient for the building.
However, due to the high daily temperature fluctuations, it is better to use building materials with thermal insulation
Used as a composite aluminum sheet that has thermal insulation.

warm and wet areas

In hot and humid areas where daily air temperature fluctuations are low,
It is best to use materials with high thermal resistance and no heat capacity.

Warm and dry areas

In hot and dry areas, due to the high temperature difference between day and night, building materials should be chosen more carefully.

In these areas, the best results are obtained when the parts of the building that are used during the day are made with heavy building materials and the parts used during the evening and night with light materials and low heat capacity. And the best choice is composite aluminum sheet because it is both lightweight and has low thermal capacity.

Cold areas

In cold regions, the use of high-thermal insulation materials is necessary to balance the indoor air. It is also necessary to use building materials for thermal insulation on external surfaces to prevent heat transfer from inside the building to outside. And according to the temperature test at -20 C according to the ASTM standard, the results indicate the compatibility of the premium bond aluminum composite sheet in very cold conditions.
