SILICON FILLED BUMPS The “silicon filled bumps� surface is consisted of an aluminium based membrane frame and PVC based transparent main surface. The intention is using the silicon as a thermal bridge as well as using its white bright colour as a heat reflective element. The size of each bump is; 12mm in length, 4mm in width at the top and 8mm in width at the bottom. The height of each bump is 2mm. The horizontal distance between each bump is 23mm from their centre and the vertical distance is 10mm from the end point to the start point. The pattern is produced with a laser cutter, and then is used as a template for welding. PVC based membranes welded half way with a soldering iron and then the areas filled with white sealing silicon one by one and welded.
