The cup-shaped outdoor coffee kiosk is a unique and creative architectural structure. The choice of material has a crucial impact on its functionality, aesthetics and durability. Here are some of the main materials used:
Metal materials
Steel: It is a common material for the main frame of the cup-shaped outdoor coffee kiosk. It has high strength and toughness. Can withstand large wind loads, snow loads and other external forces. The steel can be assembled by welding, bolting, etc., which is convenient and fast. And can be processed into a variety of complex shapes according to the design requirements. At the same time, steel also has good fire resistance, which is an important safety factor for outdoor buildings.
Aluminum alloy: This material is less dense and lighter, which is easy to transport and install on site. Aluminum alloy has strong corrosion resistance in outdoor environments. Even if it is exposed to rain, sunlight and other conditions for a long time, it is not easy to rust. Moreover, the surface of the aluminum alloy can be treated by anodic oxidation. Get different colors and textures to enhance the beauty of the kiosk. Its thermal conductivity is better, which may affect the temperature regulation in the coffee kiosk to a certain extent. However, this problem can be effectively solved through reasonable insulation measures.
Wood materials
Preservative wood: If the design style is more natural and warm, preservative wood is a good choice. After special anti-corrosion treatment, it can resist the erosion of fungi, insects, etc., and extend the service life. The texture and color of the wood give a warm feeling, allowing customers to enjoy their coffee while also feeling the breath of nature. However, the strength of wood is lower than that of metal materials, which requires reasonable planning in structural design. Such as adding support components to ensure the stability of the coffee kiosk.
Composite materials
Glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) : This is a fiber reinforced plastic, with light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, heat insulation and other excellent properties. It can be moulded to create the unique curved shape of a cup-shaped coffee kiosk. The surface of the glass fiber reinforced plastic is smooth and bright in color. And can be customized according to needs, with a good decorative. And its maintenance costs are low, only need to clean the surface regularly. However, the fire resistance of FRP is general, and fire prevention measures need to be paid attention to during use.
Facade materials
Tempered glass: used on the facade of the coffee kiosk to provide a good view. Allow customers to enjoy the surrounding scenery in the pavilion. The strength of tempered glass is several times that of ordinary glass, and it has good impact resistance. Even when hit by external forces, it will not easily break. It forms small particles and reduces the damage to the human body. Its high transparency allows the interior of the cup kiosk to be well lit. Create a bright and comfortable space environment. In addition, coated tempered glass can also be used to reflect some sunlight and play a certain heat insulation and sunshade effect.
Metal plate: such as aluminum plate, stainless steel plate, etc. Aluminum plate texture is light, the surface can be fluorocarbon paint spraying, anodic oxidation and other treatment, to obtain rich color and texture. Stainless steel plate has excellent corrosion resistance and smooth surface, easy to clean and maintain. These metal plates can be installed on the exterior facade by means of riveting, welding, etc. Form a simple, modern appearance style.
Roofing materials
Color steel plate: rich color, easy to install. It has a certain strength and weather resistance, and can effectively resist the erosion of natural factors such as rain and sunlight. The price of color steel plate is relatively economical, and it is a common roofing material choice. However, its thermal insulation performance is general, in hot weather may lead to high temperature in the coffee kiosk, the need to take corresponding thermal insulation measures, such as the installation of thermal insulation layer under the roof.
Copper plate: Copper plate has good ductility and corrosion resistance, and over time, its surface will form a layer of natural patina, showing a unique antique texture. This natural process of change adds a sense of history and art to the kiosk. Copper roofing has a long service life, but the cost is higher, and it is generally used for some high-end coffee kiosks with special style requirements
The material selection of outdoor coffee kiosks needs to consider many factors such as design style, functional requirements, budget and local climate environment. Through a reasonable mix of different materials, we can create an outdoor coffee booth that is both beautiful and practical.
