Proactively grasping problems that may occur during the design & installation process of facade systems will help customers handle problems in the best way to own a perfect architectural project. Don't hesitate to refer to the detailed article below to know the most accurate way to manage facade material risks.

Risk management of facade materials - Safe solutions to create construction masterpieces

1. Color deviation

Color deviation is quite common when constructing facade materials, but it is not difficult to overcome this situation if you understand nature correctly. In many cases, even though 🔺E (the index showing the color difference between product panels) is within the prescribed international standards, ensuring measurement in the factory, other risks cannot be completely eliminated. The color when seen with the naked eye after installation, under the effect of sunlight changes at each time of day and depends on each individual color. Depending on the different wall materials, there will be different appropriate treatment methods.

1.1. Solid aluminum facade

– Production orders by area (block): Connect information between drawing completion, multi-stage production progress and installation progress to manage the process of painting aluminum panels according to instructions in the same batch paint to prevent color deviation on a flat surface. 

– Estimate appropriate paint powder: Customers carefully calculate the amount of paint powder needed for the entire project to limit waste or tolerance when producing new batches.

Dealing with discolored facades costs money, effort and time

1.2. ACP

ACP materials are complex aluminum panels linked together to create a solid facade that allows for processing with many unique colors, textures and patterns. 

To avoid color deviation when constructing ACP facade materials, pay attention to:

– The operator needs to install the facade in the same direction as the arrow clearly marked by the manufacturer on each facade.

– In a construction project, it is necessary to install the same Roll Code.

– For facades that do not have the same MSC index, they need to be installed in separate locations.

2. Construction and installation

Whether the quality of the project is good or not depends largely on the execution and installation of the facade system. If the workforce follows the correct order and standards, it will help ensure overall completion that meets both aesthetic and technical standards.

In fact, during the process of installing facade materials, some implementation teams still encounter some basic and unnecessary mistakes. Below is some information that needs special attention during installation, specifically as follows:

2.1. Solid

– No actual measurements outside the construction site: When exporting Shop drawings and actual assembly Fab drawings, it means that customers cannot edit anymore. Therefore, before finalizing, you need to carefully review the drawings and check carefully on the project to ensure there are no errors related to the parameters.

– Viewing direction, drawing perspective: The implementer needs to have a consistent way of deploying the drawing with the manufacturing unit, reading the drawing correctly to avoid misunderstandings leading to errors in processing.

– Large panels: For large sized walls, additional U-bar reinforcement is needed to ensure rigidity and solidity.

– High hole density: Need to consider plate deflection to have the most suitable construction plan.

2.2. ACP

– Use properly: ACP panels selected for interior processing should not be exposed to the environment as this will affect color fastness and wind resistance, reducing the product's lifespan.

– Peeling time: About 1-3 days after installing the ACP facade, you need to peel off the membrane. Don't leave it too long or the glue will die due to heat generation.

ACP material is suitable for making furniture, bringing a luxurious and classy space to the living space

3. Progress

Customers need to estimate the time needed to order the required materials and carry out installation to achieve the implementation schedule, specifically:

– Aluminum import progress: For large orders (Solid/ACP) that require advance orders, you need to estimate the time to import raw materials and the time the manufacturer can supply.

– Paint import progress:

Solid: PVDF paint line needs to wait about 6-8 weeks. For powder paints with special color gamuts, it should be noted that each paint brand will have different progress.

ACP: Color mixing as required 35-40 days.

– Processing progress:

It is necessary to have an estimated schedule to arrange production as well as plan implementation.

If the required patterns appear in the design, it will take time to set the mold.

4. Cost

Solid and ACP materials are in the high segment of the facade materials market. But it's no coincidence that the price has such a big difference, it's because:

– Price: Refer to the price list of some Solid facade suppliers, customers will certainly find that the price of this material is often superior to other products. However, if the value is divided by the number of years of use (durability), the cost effectiveness is very large. Therefore, installing Solid facades is considered a long-term investment.

– ACP paints colors as required: Requires information about censer volume of order quantity because this product will be painted on large-scale aluminum coils. Even special color tones often have high costs if there is no optimal solution in production, so customers should consider talking to consultants as soon as they intend to design according to color. colors are outside the catalog.

The price of Solid and ACP materials depends on many factors (quantity, design, ...)

Facade material risk management will help you optimize your budget effectively while still satisfying the most stringent criteria according to construction standards.
