LOPO TERRACOTTA PANELS USED IN PREFABRICATED BUILDING

In recent years, prefabricated buildings have attracted high attention from the public, especially under the call of the highest decision-making level of the country to develop prefabricated buildings and promote the industrialization of new buildings, many enterprises are eager to join in it.

In the project of Japan JA Group Kanagawa Building, it is a typical prefabricated building by using special shape of LOPO Terracotta panels.

The concept of prefabricated housing was introduced in Japan in 1968. In 1990, it introduced the production system of medium – and high-rise residential buildings, which adopts component, industrialized production mode, high production efficiency, variable internal structure of residential buildings, and adapts to various needs of residents. In the process of promoting large-scale and industrialized structural adjustment, the housing industry has experienced the continuous evolution and improvement from standardization, diversification, industrialization to intensification and informational.

According to the five-year housing construction plan issued by Japan, every five-year plan has clear policies and measures to promote the development of the housing industry and improve the performance and quality. Strong government intervention and support have played an important role in the development of the housing industry. Adhering to technological innovation, we formulated a series of guidelines and policies for the industrialization of housing construction, and established a unified modular standard, which solved the contradiction between standardization, mass production and housing diversification.

The development status of prefabricated building in Japan:

Wood construction accounts for more than 40%.

The multi – high-rise apartments are mainly reinforced concrete frames (PCA technology).

Factory high level, integrated decoration, thermal insulation doors and Windows, etc.

Legislation to ensure the quality of concrete components.

High seismic intensity, prefabricated concrete shock absorption and isolation technology.

The essence of prefabricated building is not only the innovation of construction technology, but also the development of construction civilization. LOPO Terracotta support the prefabricated building construction technology, and will keep developing the most qualified environmental friendly facade material.

Terracotta curtain wall is regarded as a relatively new material in China. The raw material of the terracotta panel is natural clay, and a small amount of other materials are added. LOPO Terracotta panel has relatively high strength, hardness and surface precision formed through multiple processes such as finishing of the raw material, extrusion molding with European extrusion equipment, drying, and high-temperature kiln firing. And in the high temperature is above 1100℃. The terracotta curtain wall gives the building a solemn and strong artistic beauty, organically combining traditional materials with modern architecture. The product has excellent durability, the color is always fresh, and brings lasting vitality to the building curtain wall.

Terracotta is a high technical quality product, which has excellent impact resistance, frost resistance and other characteristics. LOPO Terracotta products also certified with CE, meet the international quality standards, verifying the durability, robustness and safety of the system. The color of the clay is restored through the inclusion of natural clay and the addition of oxides to restore the color of the clay. So we have a color uniform and durable products.

There are a wide range of applications for terracotta panels that can be used either as exterior panels or indoors. Dry-hanging open and semi-open systems are commonly used, and can be used in conjunction with insulation materials. They have good insulation and sound insulation functions. In the design of dry-hanging systems, it is easy to replace single-pieces when damaged. Ceramic wall is still in its infancy in China. Although some ceramic curtain wall projects have been built, but with the development of the curtain wall and people’s understanding of it, the terracotta curtain wall will surely been more widely used in the world with its fine texture, vivid colors, and unique structure and superior performance.
