"M.A.N.T.T." identifies an internationally
patented technological system that integrates
the telescopic coverings for exteriors.
The M.A.N.T.T. system (acronym
for the Italian equivalent of " Anti-Snow
Mechanism for Telescopic Roofs") is a
mobile covering suitable for use
in any place and any weather condition.
As a consequence of all the innovations
brought about in the external coverings
planning field, it has been soon adopted
by worldwide famous engineers who needed
to plan structures capable of resisting
extremely high temperatures, strong gusts
of wind (insulation up to 140 km/h), snow,
rain, hurricanes and earthquakes.
Practical application
The M.A.N.T.T. system has found
practical applications in many seismic
areas (California), vulcanic regions (Naples
and Sicily), areas characterised by consistent
climatic excursions and high humidity
(Hudson River banks, New York, Canada)
and places swept by strong gusts of wind
(Corsica and Sardinia). Another key aspect
of this system is the protection it offers
from the acoustic pollution. The M.A.N.T.T.
system has favoured the implementation
of similar structures in noisy towns,
large cities and external spaces at ground
level. The M.A.N.T.T. system is
a building solution for hotels, airports,
restaurants, stores, shopping malls, swimming
pools, sports facilities and residential
buildings. Technical characteristics The
M.A.N.T.T. system coverings allow
you to open or close the sections they
are made of, according to the weather
changes. For instance, when the sun rays
are not beating down and the temperature
gets pleasant, you can open parts of the
covering, thus permitting the cool
air to enter. On the contrary, when the
sun is beating down you can completely
close the structure and prevent
the entrance of sunlight. In fact, it
is a modular covering whose sections
can be opened or closed at will up to
two thirds of its surface. An electric
motor facilitates the closing procedure.
The bearing structure is composed
of aluminum extrusions with oversized
sections, fused accessories in aluminum
alloy or stainless steel which bring solidity
to the covering. The M.A.N.T.T.
telescopic covering system integrates
a snow melting device, characterised by
an accurate drainage system that conveys
the rainwater towards the interior of
the extrusions by means of gutters. The
protective internal shell of the telescopic
tunnel system has a multiple layered
insulation. Externally there is an anti-fire
and water proof pvc fabric over which
the rainwater flows. This external layer
is insulated.
