The Challenge

The client wants large-format, voluminous, three-dimensional elements made of ALUCOBOND, which form horizontally oriented parapet elements on the one hand and standing pillars on the other.

The substructure must be designed without thermal bridges. The space around the construction site is very limited.

 

The Ecolite Solution

To ensure smooth logistics, the elements are shipped to the construction site flat, and folded and prefabricated braces made from aluminium profiles are first glued and riveted on site. Costly transportation and all kinds of shipping damage are thus eliminated. The complete elements can be stored on site and then transferred to the installation team.

 

Ecolite Products

These Ecolite products were used:

Primary substructure combined from Thermo H-, Thermo V-brackets and angle profiles. System UB: Support profile 17 mm and a continuous agraffe profile FS at the glued-in yokes of the façade elements.
