Major Industries has new website tool for Architects/Designers

RPC is pleased to announce a new design tool from Major Industries to assist Architects and Designers.

PRESS RELEASE: NEW WEBSITE TOOL FOR ARCHITECTS/DESIGNERS

With more and more people working remotely and self-sourcing product information, we’re always looking for more convenient ways to provide architects and designers the information they’re looking for, while also allowing us to see which products and materials are being searched and utilized. Because of this, Major recently teamed up with a company called Concora to set up a “Design Studio” link that contains all of our technical information, including drawings and product literature, BIM models and other related information.

The Design Studio is set up in an easy-to-search format where users can filter by all types of parameters (sheet color, glazing material, etc.) and get access to all our data in one spot instead of having to get items piece-by-piece. We’ve added links to the Studio throughout the site, including the home page and product and technical pages, with the hope that in some ways it replaces our typical “tech binder” for most uses, and allows users to find the info they need more quickly.  (You can see the page here – https://majorskylights.concora.com/ . Also note that users can still access our technical information the traditional way. )

The tool requires a name and email to access specific info, allowing us to view that information and better understand how our technical information is being used. Architects/designers can also store their own project information in their account, “tagging” us to specific projects which we can then search and follow up on. We’ve also included links to our standard quote form and to the rep network map for easy access to contacts if users have additional questions.

4 Most Common Reasons for Replacing Skylights

Whether you’re replacing a dilapidated skylight, upgrading the thermal performance of a window/wall system, or simply replacing a storm damaged daylighting system, we have a solution to fit your needs and budge.

  1.  Broken
    Whether it be broken panels or impaired functionality, you may choose to replace your old skylight to gain the enhanced convenience and beauty of our newest generation of products.

  2. Degradation Affecting Performance
    Why suffer through poor light quality and thermal performance? By replacing an old skylight, you can enjoy the modern benefits of increased energy efficiency and better quality of light.

  3. Leaking
    Water intrusion can cause significant damage in your building, be it slow or sudden. Replacing your leaking unit with one of our standard or custom-built skylights will allow you to permanently resolve this issue quickly and easily.

  4. Wrong Application/Lighting Solution
    It’s important to know how to best utilize skylights in your commercial space. When defining the interior of a space, you may find you want to alter or enhance the effect a skylight has by updating it with a different style or new function.

Is It Difficult to Replace Skylights?

We would first set up a site visit to determine the best daylighting product and to examine the curb conditions and dimensions.

  • Quote
    Based on the site visit, we will generate a quote and upon your approval, supply submittal drawings.

  • Fabrication & Shipping
    Once the submittal drawings are approved, we will fabricate any custom products to be shipped to the jobsite or ship a standard product from our inventory.

  • Installation
    If you choose RPC as your installation company, we will provide all the necessary equipment to remove & dispose of the old skylights and install the new ones.

No matter what the system, our goal is your satisfaction. From initial quote to manufacture to installation and beyond, our products are only as good as our customer service, and we want to make finding, specifying, ordering and installing our daylighting systems as simple and worry-free as possible.

 

Rain Resistant Louvers

Test Method for High Velocity Wind-Driven
Rain Resistant Louvers

Did you know that, if located in the Hurricane-Prone Region, all intake and exhaust louvers must comply with AMCA 550 (Test Method for High Velocity Wind Driven Rain Resistant Louvers) per the International Mechanical Code versions 2012 and 2015? The AMCA 550 test standard simulates external wind speeds up to 110 MPH with an external rainfall rate of 8.8 in. per hour. To pass AMCA 550, no more than 1% of the total sprayed water volume may penetrate the louver. If your state has adopted International Building Code 2012 or 2015, now is the time to ensure that all intake and exhaust louver specifications call for an AMCA 550 Listed louver, if located in the Hurricane-Prone Region.

Airolite offers a complete line of AMCA 550 listed louvers, ranging from high performance vertical blade products, dual-module horizontal front/vertical rear louvers and combination louver-dampers that will not only meet the function required, but the form desired.

Louvers

Louvers with Glazing Adapters

The design of glazing systems with louver infill has become a very popular design choice by architects. Airolite has the ability and flexibility to work within this design request by offering a louver infill with a glazing adapter that allows the louver to be installed directly into the glazing system. There are many different types of glazing systems, and the glazing adapters do not necessarily work with them all. Airolite is happy to promptly review your project details to verify they will work and make the best recommendation for your specific application.
