What we had before was time consuming, and the Field Investigators had to use different components to take the picture, add notes, and upload. With the mobile app SkyLite created, it’s basically all in one. Instead of the FIs having to write everything, they just fill in fields, which makes it easier to add to a current project and/or create a project. For example, the automatic GPS of a project. The app locates the project, and the FI just has to make corrections, if there are any,” says Monika Almada, Labor Compliance Officer with the LMCC. How long can the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor be left exposed before I should render them? What was the previous process for entering a new case? How has including Bing Maps in the app helped? For Indian climatic conditions, the best option would be to have skylights that open Skylight Design Principles We know that you have a choice of multiple mapping providers so why did you choose to use Bing Maps over other options?
A wide variety of our skylight products and configurations have been subjected to the Hurricane Rating and Bomb Blast Resistant Test. Our skylights held up to Hurricanes Luis and Lenny — both extreme hurricanes with winds in excess of 225 miles per hour, ultimately proving our creations are strong even in the toughest of circumstantial conditions. Besides tests, our durability shows with over 40 years of successful installation projects. Low cost, speed of development, deep integration with PowerApps, Flow and Office 365, quality of results and capability. New build insurance providers state that the cavity needs to be a minimum of 25mm in England and Wales, and 50mm in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. The Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor, once taped and jointed, may be left exposed for up to 6 months before a render basecoat and reinforcing mesh must be applied as aminimum - this cannot be left un-rendered indefinitely and is not suitable for direct painting. The render basecoat acts to weatherproof the systemand maintain Knauf's requirements. The basecoat and reinforcing mesh may be painted without having a topcoat render applied, however in these cases, the tape and jointing process must ensure it uses the 200mm wide tape rather than the standard 100mm tape.LMCC is an Office 365 customer and invested in PowerApps, Power Automate, Office 365 and SharePoint. Bing Maps pricing and the connectors to PowerApps and Power Automate made it the right choice. Can Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board SkyLite be used as an alternative to Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor on walling surfaces? Fixed to members at 300mm centres maximum in ceiling systems, approx 25 fixings / m² are needed to install Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board SkyLite Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor is A1 rated to EN 13501; it is therefore non-combustible and will not allow fire to spread along its surface. However, as the board is installed over a drained and ventilated cavity, any fire may get behind the cladding. A timed fire rated walling system would be accomplished from the sheathing layer inwards. Cavity fire stopping should be discussed with the passive fire stopping specialists on the scheme. No, to be compliant to our installation requirements, please follow the standard installation guidance.
However, if we do not follow certain aspects of designing a proper skylight customised to the Indian climatic conditions, it might be a disaster and one might be living in an ‘oven’ practically. Choosing a proper design along with materials that are more suitable for local conditions is the key to incorporating a skylight into your building. Traditionally, skylights have been a European concept, where natural light is a scarcity. India is a country full of natural light. With more than 300 bright sunny days a year, why would we need a skylight anyway? However, in the recent past, the design trends have changed. The living patterns have changed. More so, to accommodate the Western style of architecture and living. Contemporary designs are more popular now even in India. So, why not fancy skylights? Many of our custom projects arise from unique architectural and aesthetic design requirements that lie outside the standard parameters of typical skylights. We have worked with thousands of architects in customized frames and extrusions for specific job requirements. The large array of projects we’ve completed offers a wealth of experience and an extensive library of completed custom designs for inspiration. No, for domestic application this is not usually needed, and due to the manner in which the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Floor Tile Underlay is installed, the two are not compatible. Tanking over the Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Floor Tile Underlay could be considered as an alternative.We recommend that the smooth face is rendered onto. If the boards have been installed rough side out, make a note of the batch number against the project name and render can be applied to the rough side. Knauf recommend that the boards are installed with a 3 to 5mm gap all around the boards, and all joints are taped and jointed using Knauf AQUAPANEL ®products (this must be done for soffit applications). If the thin coat render basecoat and mesh layer is going to be applied within 4 to 6 weeks of the boards being installed, the tape and jointing application can be omitted, but the basecoat must be applied into the gaps prior to application of the basecoat and mesh layer. We had a chance to connect with Dave Chennault, Partner at SkyLite Systems, to learn more about the application and their experience building with Bing Maps.
No, this board should only be used for internal applications. Knauf offers Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Outdoor (which is freeze thaw tested) for exterior uses. No, we do not recommend this as the cement is not a good conductor of heat and, due to the fixings, should not be installed directly over an insulation material either. An UFH system which is installed in the tile adhesive layer, over the board, would be OK. A variety of factory-manufactured skylight shapes exist for sloping or flat roofs. Most include shafts (also called light wells) that can potentially exert as much influence over the energy properties as the skylight itself. Sky-lighting may also take the form of general glazed areas such as roof lights for atria, attached conservatories or sunrooms. In this form, they are less likely to be factory-manufactured and more likely to be custom-made. In case of an all-fixed skylight, please make sure to use a low E laminated safety glass, that would bring in a minimum possible amount of heat without affecting the incoming light much. This glass selection is very important because, if we select the one with a more reflective coating, the whole skylight would turn into a mirror at night and it would be a disaster. Moreover, having laminated safety glass would also take care of the safety aspects against intrusion as well as damages due to unforeseen glass breakages.The benefits include easier image association with a given case, simplified new case creation, and improved data collection and accuracy. Several methods can help to decide on the size and spacing of skylights. The size of the skylight impacts its solar heat gain and its conduction gains and losses. Typically for roof windows and skylights, a 3–5 per cent floor-to-skylight area ratio is used and for some high-performing tubular skylights, 1–2 per cent is sufficient. If multiple skylights are to be used in the same room, spacing between the skylights should be 1.5 times the height of the room. Yes, where Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board SkyLite is not being sourced, Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Indoor can be used to form a soffit system, along with the coated metal framework also offered by Knauf. Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Cement Board Indoor is perfect for rooms housing swimming pools, spas and saunas, wet rooms, kitchens, laundries, bathrooms, changing rooms, and anywhere where high levels of moisture are present including underground cellars and stores. Ideal to create curved surfaces and wave effects. It allows tiles that require high pressure washing to be used in areas such as food handling. We do not recommend directly painting as the jointing is likely to show and be unsightly. For best results, tape and joint the boards using Knauf AQUAPANEL ®Joint Filler and AQUAPANEL ®Tape. and then apply Knauf Interior Skim and apply the paint (by others) to this. Direct splash zones should always be tiled.
