Select materials for playground roof construction
Most categories playground canopy Currently made from plastic (PVC), which is not environmentally friendly, has poor strength, has a poor lifespan, is not fire resistant and when a fire occurs, toxic black smoke will appear.
Therefore, user tastes have gradually shifted to PVDF - a material that is gradually becoming popular in the production of stretch canvas (awnings). Made up of tightly woven fabric fibers, reinforced pressed and coated with an external protective agent to protect against weather conditions, PVDF is also environmentally friendly, has good strength, good tensile strength and has good durability. Translucent, anti-flammable. This material is truly a "good candidate" for the process of selecting the design and construction of international school roofs.
There is also PTFE, a tetrafluoroethylene-based material with high strength and fire resistance, so it is often used in public works that require fire resistance. The disadvantage is that it is quite hard, brittle, and difficult to shape. Or ETFE - a future, transparent material, gradually replacing glass due to its lightweight nature, does not require many support frames, flexible shaping but high price.
Therefore, depending on the space, we can choose the most optimal material for construction playground canopy of international schools, meeting the necessary needs during use to achieve maximum efficiency for the project.
Choose style & color for international school canopy
During construction playground canopy at international school, construction team You need to pay attention to choosing the style and color to arrange it to suit the space. For example, for a football field - a specialized area for teaching sports, the roof needs to have a simple shape, a seamless structure without gaps, a monochromatic color to limit distractions, and the length needs to cover the entire area. accumulate yard…
For the children's playground area, the canopy needs to be creative in shape, with outstanding colors such as yellow, red, blue... the layout of the canopy needs to be unique, with many different shapes (petals, ripples). waves...) to attract visual attention, stimulate creativity, creating a dynamic, inspiring space.
Not only that, construction playground canopy The international school is also made in a "mini size" form with a compact umbrella shape, used to cover outdoor tables and chairs, helping students have a place to eat and rest after many extracurricular classes. energy.
Arrange a safe installation space for the international school canopy
Currently, there are two popular ways to construct international school playground roofs:
- Connect to existing construction
- Connect to a column system designed and built to suit the space
With the characteristics of the educational environment, most of the space is for children to play, run and jump. If not arranged properly, children can get entangled in the cable system and poles while playing. Therefore, design and construction units must pay attention to considering cable placement locations or have solutions to shield the column base area and cable base with soft, elastic materials (rubber), to avoid causing damage. danger.
Besides, the installation and construction process playground canopy International schools also need to be simple and quick, helping school activities to be less interrupted.
International school canopy and maintenance requirements
Safety is the top priority during the construction process of international school roofs. Therefore, the roof needs to be made from good, durable materials. As well as being tested regularly to ensure quality.
With this criterion, FlexiiPVDF Meets most requirements because the stretch canvas part (canopy) is imported directly from Europe, warranty period is up to 15-20 years. In addition, FlexiiPVDF also has a smooth surface, helping to reduce friction and prevent dust, thereby cutting down on maintenance costs during use.
