For a long time, gardening and drying rice have become a spiritual image associated with houses in Vietnamese villages; However, the process of urbanization is gradually changing this traditional architecture and space. Understanding these values, the architect team of TAA DESIGN designed a project called Red Roof House for a 50-year-old couple born and raised in the Quang Ngai village in 2019. It is known that Red Roof House is a mezzanine tube house on an area of ​​​​80m2, located next to the main road of the village. Due to the limited land fund, the architects have integrated many functions such as living room, kitchen, outdoor wood stove cooking area, bedroom, toilet, drying yard, granary, chicken yard,… The ground floor combines with a small courtyard in front, middle and back of the house to connect the spaces together Because the area of ​​the function rooms is quite small, the cooking area is open-air so that the house is well ventilated, preventing smoke and heat from the kitchen from entering. In particular, the group of architects designed the courtyard on the mezzanine floor into an agricultural garden cum roof. In the garden grow clean vegetables such as morning glory, squash, onions, cabbage, celery, … to provide for the family or for relatives and villages. In addition, the vegetable garden also plays a role in insulating the house, so that the temperature inside the house is significantly improved compared to the surrounding corrugated iron roof houses. Thanks to the uniqueness and creativity in the design of rural houses, the Red Roof project once won the award “Thematic about sustainable social-humanistic housing solutions” and resonated greatly.

Insulation film is one of the commonly found equipment on cars today, it is very useful on hot days What is car window film? Automotive insulation film is a type of film composed of many layers of different materials (also known as multi-layer coating) forming a filter plate of spectral ranges. Currently, there are 4 popular insulation film coating technologies, including: Nano Ceramic, Sputted Film, Metalized Coating Film, and Dyed Film. Insulation film gives the user and the vehicle a lot of different benefits The benefits of car window tinting Car window film has the main effect of insulating the outside environment, does not make the environment inside the car warm, stays cool and helps the car interior equipment not be damaged by the sun. heat, ensuring durability and quality when using. According to research, the heat in the sun will be radiated from 3 main sources: 57% from infrared rays, 5% from ultraviolet rays and 38% from visible light. Car window films can eliminate more than 80% – 90% of infrared and ultraviolet rays, but still have transparency, high light transmission, ensuring visibility while driving. The current car insulation films have the ability to insulate up to 50% – 65%. In addition, the film has an effective anti-glare function, while ensuring a clear and effective vision, making you safer and more comfortable. Insulation film helps reduce the temperature in the car, limiting the hot sun nắng The effect of sun protection, temperature reduction One of the most important effects that an insulating film brings to your car is the ability to resist hot sun, reduce temperature and high performance. This will help you always feel comfortable and cool when driving and sitting in the car even when it is hot outside. The film will also ensure no heat leakage, prevent heat from escaping to the outside, and maintain a stable temperature inside the vehicle. Your eyes and skin will also be maximally protected under the effects of the sun Maximum body protection Another equally important effect of insulating film is that it can provide maximum protection for the driver’s eyes and skin in the car. Insulation film has the ability to block most sources of UV rays (the cause of skin damage, potentially causing skin cancer) from 99% or more. This will give your skin maximum protection from darkening, aging and cancer, keeping you safe and comfortable when using a car. The interior of the car will also avoid maximum aging Protect car interior accessories Car window film is effective in protecting accessories and interior equipment in the car to the maximum, avoiding interior aging and fading caused by direct sunlight. damage during use. In the event of a sudden accident that breaks the glass, the shards will not be thrown to hurt the occupants of the vehicle Protect the occupants of the car when the glass is broken Insulation film does not work to prevent car glass from breaking. However, thanks to the insulating film, the glass will not be broken. Instead, the film holds the broken pieces of glass in place so they don’t splash and injure occupants. Sticking black insulation film also helps to ensure privacy inside the car Create privacy For those who want a sense of privacy when sitting inside the car, dark tinted film is the ideal solution. This type of film helps outsiders to not be able to see inside the car while occupants can still see outside.

Film insulation was first used in the 60s of the last century. Insulation film consists of 3 layers. The surface layer has the effect of shading and insulating, anti-heat. The adhesive layer plays the role of bonding the surface layer to the glass with a special glue layer. Glue protection layer is used to protect the adhesive layer when it is not applied to the glass surface. Although there are many different technologies, basically the insulation film works by the mechanism of heat absorption and heat reflection. With the principle of heat reflection: Heat from the sun transmitted to the film surface will be reflected to the outside environment. This heat will be completely removed. Thereby the film will help reduce the amount of heat transferred from the outside to the inside. With the principle of heat absorption: Heat from the sun transmitted to the film surface will be absorbed by the film on the surface. In general, when sunlight passes through a glass with film, part of it will be reflected back to the environment, another part will be absorbed by the film onto the glass, a low-emissivity layer is arranged on the outside of the film. Heat radiated from the non-permeable glass back into the room. The use of insulating film is to reduce heat from direct sunlight (about 4 – 8 degrees Celsius) thereby cooling the interior air and reducing air conditioning power. Even, in addition to heat resistance, the product is also capable of cutting UV rays. However, experts also know, insulating film also has many disadvantages: looking from the inside out or being dazzled, sore eyes, difficult to feel the true brightness outside. The UV resistance is really not as high as advertised. Another disadvantage is that the insulation ability is easily reduced over time, prone to fading, color fading. In particular, due to exposure to high temperatures, it is very easy to peel, yellow, lose aesthetics and costly to rebuild. The way experts advise, if you choose insulation film to prevent heat for your home, you need to pay attention to indicators such as UV resistance, UV rays and the ability to penetrate light through the glass layer when choosing products. In particular, it is recommended to paste in the early morning and late afternoon when the air and surface temperatures are not too large, reducing the ability of the glue layer to contact the glass. Too high a temperature will blister, the adhesive layer will stick, but it is easy to have air bubbles and quickly peel off. In addition, standard procedures should be followed because the film is very thin and difficult to apply. Film pasting requires the paster to have ingenuity, perseverance and fully follow the instructions. Invite readers to watch the video: Desert greening movement. Source: VTV24.
