Architecture Firm Selects Fypon® E-Vent System For Saraland High School
The students at Saraland High School in Saraland, Alabama, started 2010 in a brand-new building. Designed in a classic style byTAG architects,二层砖混结构可能看起来传统,但是它采用了创新的E-排气系统Fypon. Designed to combine an attractive moulding exterior profile with a functional eave ventilation system,Fypon’s E-Vent Systemsfeature a fiberglass screen behind the moulding to keep out insects while allowing maximum airflow into a building.
“The decorative urethane E-Vent System really saved the day on this project,” says Justin Lucas, AIA, an architect/project manager with TAG/The Architect Group, Inc. out of Mobile, Ala. “The flexibility of the Fypon product became essential when there were tolerance issues with some of the building assemblies. We made some as-built modifications to the trim section design that could not have been done if we had used cast stone.
“This is the first time we specifiedFypon产品,但它不会是最后一次。我们非常高兴与木制品成型部分如何增强萨拉兰德高中项目的整体外观“。
Completed at a cost of $23 million, the 157,000-square-foot new high school features a full kitchen and dining facilities, theater and auditorium, several gymnasiums, classrooms, administrative offices, and band and music rooms. TAG provided the planning, architecture, interior design, and construction administration along with site work for the project.
Installed on the building byRod Cooke Construction, Inc.,Fypon E-排气系统was the answer to several conflicting problems the architects had with the school design.
“我们使用一般需要通风钉基复合屋面板,”卢卡斯说。“有一个檐槽系统是楣梁或外部檐口细节和楣的一部分在需要。一些我们回顾作为选项的产品或者与降雨管理干扰或根本不看合适的设计。在E-排气系统的大规模的轮廓做我们需要它做的一切,是一个非常聪明的方法来提供建筑物的通风“。
Lucas and his team specified more than 800 lineal feet of the E-Vent System for this project, along with Fypon trim pieces to enhance the front exterior of the building. The high-performance Fypon pieces are crafted for years of effortless maintenance. Every urethane piece is crafted from tough, weather-proof materials that are impervious to decay, insect infestation, and water damage for long-lasting beauty.
