PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: For insolation, aluminum mesh is fitted to the ALC outer wall just like rattan blinds to block the sunlight most effectively. The aluminum boards are made to be only 2mm thick not to burden the structure, with their curves allowing for expansion in summer and contraction in winter. They come to pieces so that maintenance can be done manually, and the difference in color of all adjacent pieces helps any partially replaced piece not to distinguish itself.
