A few things to keep in mind when you work on media façade projects:
Installation
Media façade installation is a big challenge always. It needs to be well planned from an early stage of Construction to make sure about the conduit and other crucial electrical works. If it’s an existing building that’s another complicated task for the electrical and signal work. A complete and comprehensive survey required before starting the projects. Also, it’s very important to install conduits in an appropriate way, sometimes it’s required to make customize conduit matching with façade. Also, some of the existing buildings don’t have proper access to install the media façade. It’s required to rope access, temporary cradle, spider lift, or boom lift. Also, it needs a specialized team to take care of the installation and forthcoming maintenance.
Transparency
For any type of media façade it’s important to keep clear the glass façade. Just for the sake of the media façade, can’t just block the view from inside.
Day Look
Don’t forget to think of daytime looks. A lovely architecture can’t just ruin by façade lighting or media façade. Make sure that the media façade has a minimal view in the daytime. If you look at our Suha hotel media façade projects, it’s very difficult to notice, the light at daytime, but at night it turns a stunning media façade.
Maintenance
Keep in mind that a media façade can be a nightmare if there is no proper way to do the maintenance. Façade needs to be accessible always to do the maintenance anytime. When you select lighting products or media façade fixtures make sure that it's easy installation and easy to remove during the maintenance if any issues arise. Also, make sure the remote led driver is always accessible.
