The Challenge
At the Labitzke site, there are 2 high-rise buildings that are to be clad with GFB panels from Stahlton and prefabricated elements made of plaster base panels from Sto AG. The façade elements are relatively heavy and have different depths. In addition, increased demands are placed on the drainage.
The Ecolite Solution
Ecolite AG was looking for a solution in which the primary UK - for the sake of simpler assembly and planning - forms only one level if possible. The three-dimensionality of the façade surface is only created by hanging the elements with different construction depths. This required the development and implementation of new profiles and a solution for guaranteeing earthquake resistance. A new system has also been found for drainage. The water is drained by means of special profiles with glued-in baffles.
Ecolite Products
These Ecolite products were used:
The ECOLITE UB system was used with additional new profiles and Thermo V-brackets for high loads. Prefabricated support grids were built for the plaster base panels.
