The new Periférico las Flores building, located in the Álvaro Obregón area to the south of Mexico City, is conceived with an avant-garde design and equipped with multiple thermal control systems, such as the landscaped roof and a perforated outer skin that works as a Solar control to guarantee the comfort and energy optimization of the property.
The system is made up of metal frames anchored to the edges of the slab, which are arranged as vertical slats along the entire height of the building. The INCO 44.6 Corrugated microperforated profile in cor-ten steel covers both sides of these frames with the intention of filtering the light into the interior. This solar control mechanism prevents direct solar radiation from entering the interior of the building, depending on the time of day.
The INCO 44.6 Wavy profile has a symmetrical wave 44 mm high, which gives it good mechanical resistance even when perforated, as well as an interesting aesthetic finish.
Steel resistant to atmospheric corrosion or better known by its COR-TEN brand is a type of steel that, due to its specific alloy, generates a protective patina against corrosion. The steel made up of Nickel, Chrome and Copper forms a protective surface oxide layer that gives the piece effective protection and impermeability to water and water vapor, giving it that characteristic reddish-orange color.
This particularity allows the material to protect itself without the need to receive a subsequent treatment of galvanic protection or paint. This material gives the façade dynamism, being a living coating, which will evolve for approximately 4 to 6 years (depending on the weather, frequency of rain, etc.).
