What is the skylight stretch canvas roof structure?
The skylight or courtyard area is one of the forms of light, wind and convection for existing buildings. The existence of the skylight (inner courtyard) creates life for the interior spaces. However, depending on different weather conditions such as sunshine, rain, strong winds, skylights need cover to limit those weather conditions.
Currently, there are many skylight roof design solutions with a variety of options in form and material. Glass roofs with a pointed peak in the middle, or corrugated iron roofs that let in light are all common forms of skylight roofs. In addition, skylight covers made of stretch canvas are a reliable alternative.
Common problems when choosing a skylight roof structure
From a skylight roof structure, usually for a small space, to a patio roof with a medium or larger space, the design of a skylight roof system can meet many other factors. each other: get indirect light, ensure air circulation in the building and must be beautiful in appearance.
The structure of the skylight roof is also a difficult factor when choosing a suitable solution. Usually for small and medium-sized skylights, the glass frame system is pyramidal or slanted to create a slope. Therefore, materials such as glass and corrugated iron are almost the only choices for structural solutions for skylight roofs, which leads to limitations in testing new structural forms.
Stretch canvas solution for skylight roofs
With the appearance of stretch canvas roofing systems, skylight areas or courtyards not only have more suitable solutions in many different forms, but are also one of the optimal choices for skylight roofing. .
The structure of the stretch canvas roof in the skylight area often uses a cable system to support a single vertical pillar, forming a high pyramid shape. This shape is extremely suitable for the function of the skylight canopy. At the top of the pyramid is a structural frame that allows wind to flow out, creating convection inside. Along with that is the properties of stretch canvas material with many different light penetration levels that can adjust the brightness required by the skylight roof project.
Outstanding efficiency from the skylight canopy's stretch canvas structure.
Some other structural systems are only linked to the existing structure of the building, supporting the pillar in the middle but still ensuring comprehensive stability. With the form of stretch canvas applied to the skylight roof area, the structural system is almost as streamlined as possible, creating a light feeling instead of using other heavy structural systems because of the nature of the stretch canvas material. Large span and very light weight.
Aesthetic effect is also a highly appreciated factor, the view from the bottom up will have a light, uplifting feeling without being uncomfortable or blocking vision like other structural systems. This makes the atrium space have a certain interest.
