Industrial shutters are essential elements in sustainable buildings and in the search for energy efficiency in industry. The benefits are already widely known and have relevant weight in assessments for sustainability certifications, such asLEED, the main certification of sustainable construction in Brazil.
In new construction projects andretrofit Where energy efficiency is important, industrial shutters are prominent components for the following reasons:
- Promotes the exhaustion of gases and suspended particles in the internal environment;
- Continuous air flow that reduces internal temperature and increases thermal comfort;
- Prevents workers from being exposed to sudden changes in temperature;
- Reduces energy expenditure with air conditioning and forced ventilation;
- Ensures the well-being of employees and preservation of equipment;
- Translucent polycarbonate shutters can also be used as natural lighting elements.
The benefits of natural ventilation are many and already widespread. But another fundamental point is to have a good project and quality equipment. It was with this in mind that we decided to present six reasons to choose theMB Group industrial shutter models, specialized in ventilation and natural lighting equipment for industry.
1. Variety of models: One of them is ideal for your company
Each industrial installation has its own particularities and structure, and it is necessaryalways have a variety of options to choose the one that best suits your case. Grupo MB offers different models, materials and paints. The shutters can be pre-painted according to the desired color/ral, as in the case of the matrix Wega Motors in Itajaí – SC, where Grupo MB shutters comply with the coverage.
Venetian blinds can be fixed or mobile, with fixed, mobile or mixed fins. The adjustment can be manual or automated and the dimensions and layout are determined by the architectural design of the client's work or installation in order to maximize natural ventilation. See this example from the Brazilian subsidiary of the German graphic services company Interprint, where shutters with mobile fins from the MB Group were applied.
The materials are also varied and offer different characteristics and cost ranges. As a differentiating factor in natural lighting and ventilation projects, the quality of the shutter material is a separate reason to choose Grupo MB.
2. Quality of the material used
The main materials used in the manufacture of MB Group shutters are:
- Aluminum
- Galvalume Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Alveolar Polycarbonate
- Compact Polycarbonate
- PVC
High-strength materials, such as steel and aluminum, are mainly used in the manufacture of frames and fixing structures. The fins can also be made of PVC orpolycarbonate,also recognized for its resistance and versatility. See the shutters installed on theCuritiba Pádel Club, in seamless extruded aluminum profile, with infra-red reflective polycarbonate fins. The material allowsgood natural lighting while keeping out heat.
Another example is the industrial shutters installed by Grupo MB inFey Metallurgical, one of the largest producers of staples, screws, nuts and pins in the country. The honeycomb polycarbonate material guarantees not only optimal use of natural light but also high resistance and durability.
3. Options that make a difference
We have already mentioned the possibility ofmosquito net and bird cageas additional. These protective screens are very important to keep the internal environment clean and free of insects.
Industrial and commercial warehouses are large and have lighting that attracts a multitude of insects. The higher temperature due to the presence of engines and manufacturing processes also attracts birds, which settle in support points on windows, shutters and roofs. These two components leave the internal environment protected and prevent accidents with insects and other animals.
Another optional is theprotection grid against invasions, theft and vandalism, made of hot-dip galvanized steel. This was the option ofMetalcam Aluminumto guarantee the benefits of natural ventilation without compromising safety.
It is also important to mentionautomatic control of the shutter flaps via remote control or button panel. Manual adjustment is not always practical and in everyday life it can end up being left in the background. Using automatic control makes the work easier, optimizing the use of circulation and reducing the chances of the fins being positioned inappropriately. An example of this type of resource is the MB Group shutters installed in theTramontina Store, watch the video:
