Grandslam, Pieterlen

The Challenge

Substructure for the Grandslam residential complex in Pieterlen, which is to be clad with ceramic (extruded terracotta profiles) and sheet metal modules (parapet). Three different modules in special format, each with different geometries, are used for the ceramic façade. They have extremely small cavities and are partly laid wildly in the facade.

The Ecolite Solution

Thermo V-brackets with vertical T-profiles, horizontal support profiles on top. The support profiles accommodate individually designed holders, which have previously been mechanically machined or modified with partial milling in order to accommodate the special hole geometries of the ceramic modules. Since the modules are also installed in mirrored form, a total of 26 different types of holder are used.

Ecolite products

Primary substructure consisting of Thermo V-brackets, and T-profiles. Then the ZF system for ceramic modules consisting of ZF support profiles, ZF end support profiles and ZF machined holders.

For the sheet metal facade in the parapet, the OM system consisting of Thermo H-brackets, angle profiles, Omega and Z profiles.
