During summer thunderstorms, it's essential to take proper safety measures to protect yourself from the dangers of lightning. Here are some important guidelines to follow:
1. **Secure your home**: Close all doors and windows to prevent wind and rain from entering. Avoid using radios or TVs with external antennas. It’s best to unplug electrical appliances and turn off the main power supply to avoid damage from power surges. Also, avoid using landline phones or mobile devices during a storm.
2. **Avoid conductive objects**: Do not touch metal objects such as antennas, gas pipes, wire mesh, metal windows, or building exteriors. Stay away from live electrical equipment and avoid standing on wet or muddy ground barefoot, as these can increase the risk of electric shock.
3. **Avoid water during storms**: Do not take a shower or use a bath during a lightning storm, as water is an excellent conductor of electricity. This includes avoiding any contact with plumbing fixtures.
4. **Seek safe shelter**: If possible, stay in a fully enclosed building with proper lightning protection, such as a steel-frame or reinforced concrete structure equipped with a lightning rod. However, never get close to any lightning protection equipment.
5. **Stay away from open areas**: Avoid open-air swimming pools, lakes, rivers, and small boats. Do not stand near trees, poles, haystacks, or other structures without lightning protection. Stay clear of metal objects like railroad tracks, water pipes, gas lines, and vehicles. Avoid high places like hills, rooftops, or open fields. Don’t hide in isolated huts or booths.
6. **Avoid outdoor activities**: Do not carry umbrellas, badminton rackets, golf clubs, or similar items while outdoors. Immediately stop any outdoor activities such as playing sports, fishing, or swimming when thunder is heard.
7. **Stay safe in vehicles**: If you're in a car during a storm, keep the windows closed and avoid touching metal parts. Motorcycles and bicycles should be avoided as they offer little protection.
8. **Handle lightning strikes safely**: If a high-voltage power line is struck by lightning, move away quickly. The safest way to escape is to hop out of the danger zone with both feet together or jump on one leg. In open areas, turn off your phone to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
By following these tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of injury during a summer thunderstorm. Always stay alert and act quickly if you hear thunder or see lightning.
Aluminum alloy sunshade window is a product that combines sunshade function with windows, with the following characteristics:
1. Structural design
Frame
Made of aluminum alloy profiles, aluminum alloy has high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, and can ensure the stability of the window structure. Its profiles can be made into different shapes and sizes according to design requirements to meet the requirements of various building openings.
Sunshade part
Common sunshade methods include built-in sunshade blinds and external sunshades.
Built-in sunshade blinds are blinds installed between two layers of glass, and the amount of sunlight entering is controlled by adjusting the angle of the blinds. This method can effectively protect the blinds from the influence of the external environment, reduce the damage to the blinds by dust, rain, etc., and also enhance the overall aesthetics of the window.
External sunshades are sunshades installed on the outside of the window, and the position of the sunshade can be adjusted according to the angle of the sun. The sunshade effect of the external sunshade is more direct, and it can block more sunlight heat from entering the room, but it is necessary to consider its impact on the appearance of the building and its wind and rain protection performance.
2. Functional characteristics
Shading and heat insulation
Effectively block solar radiation heat from entering the room and reduce the energy consumption of indoor air conditioning. According to different shading forms and shading coefficients, it can block 50% - 80% or even more solar heat, which can significantly improve the thermal comfort of the room in summer.
Lighting adjustment
Built-in sunshade blinds or adjustable external sunshades can adjust the incident angle of sunlight and the amount of light entering the room as needed. For example, soft light can be allowed to enter the room in the morning or evening, while the sunlight is completely blocked when the sun is strong at noon, realizing flexible lighting control.
Privacy protection
When the built-in sunshade blinds are adjusted to the appropriate angle, the privacy of the room can be protected without affecting the lighting, which is especially practical for some low-rise buildings or rooms close to the street.
3. Applicable scenarios
Residential
Suitable for installation in bedrooms, living rooms and other rooms, which can not only meet the lighting and ventilation needs, but also effectively control sunlight and heat, and improve the comfort of living.
Commercial buildings
In offices, shopping malls and other places, aluminum alloy sunshade windows help reduce air conditioning energy consumption, and can flexibly adjust the lighting and shading effects according to different usage needs.
