Sustainable Kinetic Facade Solutions
for Green Buildings

TBK Metal creates innovative kinetic facade systems that enable energy-efficient design by offering dynamic shades, long-lasting materials, and flexible concepts that optimize building performance while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Energy Efficiency
The sunshade is achieved through adjustable panels, which help to reduce heat gain, control indoor temperature, and reduce cooling loads in properly designed buildings throughout the day.
Recyclable Materials
The kinetic facade materials, aluminium and stainless steel, are durable and recyclable, which helps to promote responsible sourcing and lower the waste of parts at the end of their life cycle.
Long-Term Durability
The system is built to withstand the weather, facilitate upkeep, and offer reliable performance through its lifespan, due to durable metals, protective coatings, and robust mechanisms.
Climate Adaptability
Responsive facades respond to sunlight and environmental conditions to improve shading control and occupant comfort in various climates, building orientations and applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How does a kinetic facade system work?

A kinetic facade is a facade that incorporates movable panels or architectural elements that are rotated, slid, folded, or pivoted by manual or automated means. Movement can react to sunlight, the environment, or programmed controls.

Q2. What materials are commonly used for kinetic facade systems?

Durability and design flexibility, coupled with corrosion resistance, are popular properties of aluminium and stainless steel. In certain cases, structural needs, protective coatings, and project conditions might make carbon steel possible too.

Q3. Can kinetic facade systems be customized for specific architectural designs?

Yes, kinetic facades can be customized in terms of shape, size, perforation, movement mechanism, color, and surface finish. Structural support, maintenance access, and local building requirements should also be taken into account in design development.

Q4. Do kinetic facades improve building energy efficiency?

Kinetic facades respond to the sun's movement by varying the position of panels. They can be designed to minimize solar heat gain, enhance thermal comfort, and decrease cooling loads when used with local climate and building orientation.

Q5. Are kinetic facade systems suitable for high-rise buildings?

When appropriately designed for wind forces, structural movements, component weight, and operating forces, kinetic facades can be integrated into high-rise projects. Safety, access, and maintenance must be verified by qualified individuals.

Q6. What maintenance do kinetic facade systems require?

The maintenance requirements for kinetic facades depend on the materials used, the mechanisms for their operation, and the exposure context. Moving parts, fasteners, controls, and panels - all parts are inspected, cleaned, and serviced as per manufacturers' recommendations.

Q7. What should architects consider before specifying a kinetic facade?

Architects should take into account the intended design, local climate, wind loads, range of movement, control strategy, maintenance access and budget. Planning in conjunction with facade engineers earlier on helps ensure feasibility, safety and long-term performance.
