Today is United Nations World Mental Health Day, which shines a spotlight on mental health around the world and encourages efforts to support those experiencing mental health problems. This year’s theme is ‘Mental Health at Work’. Traditionally, our industry has been firmly focused on physical safety, with less of an emphasis on mental wellbeing. But with research showing that construction workers are at particularly high risk of mental health problems, it’s clear that this must change. In response, at Permasteelisa Group we are about to launch a new health, safety and wellbeing programme that places equal focus on physical and mental health – Work Safe, Live Well. In the coming months, we will be rolling out the "Work Safe, Live Well" branding across all of our company materials related to health, safety and wellbeing. Most importantly, we will provide our colleagues around the world with the tools and support they need to make the slogan reality – to Work Safe, and Live Well. Let’s all commit to prioritising mental health today and every day. #WMHD24 #MentalHealth #wellbeing #WorkSafeLiveWell #OurPeople #PermasteelisaGroup

Great work by colleagues at our brand Scheldebouw! As a Group, we have been at the forefront of using innovative recladding solutions to transform existing high-rise buildings. A new bespoke façade can improve a building’s aesthetics, energy efficiency, comfort levels, compliance and safety. In our ongoing efforts to create a more sustainable industry, refurbishment is set to become an increasingly important part of our work in future years.

Permasteelisa Group is proud to have contributed to three of the iconic buildings that won Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Awards 2024. 8 Bishopsgate in London – named Best Tall Building (200–299m) – has a bespoke façade designed, engineered and fabricated by our brand Scheldebouw and installed by colleagues at Permasteelisa Group UK. To bring to life the vision of architects WilkinsonEyre, we provided a total of 37,750 sqm of unitised façade and 700 sqm of stick system, maximising the sustainability and performance properties of our proprietary closed cavity façade (CCF) technology. This year’s winner of the Structure Award was 21 Moorfields in London, another Wilkinson Eyre-designed project with a stunning unitised façade by our brand Gartner. In total, the building features 30 main façade types, including CCF, steel-glass, unitised sheet metal, skylights, concrete, balustrades and soffit sheets. On the ground floor, a façade supported by glass blades features glass panes. Finally, we’re delighted that the prestigious 10 Year Award went to One World Trade Center, New York City. The 94-storey building, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) is the tallest in the western hemisphere. Our team from Permasteelisa North America worked on the building’s podium, including unitised panels with adjustable glass fins, perforated aluminium back panels, horizontal stainless steel slats, and four cable-net façades corresponding to the podium’s entrances. Congratulations to all award winners who work alongside us to create the remarkable tall buildings that shape today’s urban world. Scheldebouw B.V.

Permasteelisa Group is proud to be a sponsor and board member of the key industry technical body in the UK, CWCT Centre for Window and Cladding Technology. Last week was the CWCT’s annual members' meeting, a day event attended by over 250 delegates. The morning focused on major challenges facing the industry, including building safety, fire, and sustainability. Terje Vallestad, our Operations Director at Permasteelisa UK and a fellow of the Society of Façade Engineering (SFE), took part in an expert panel discussion on the Building Safety Act and what this means for those involved in the design and construction of façades. The afternoon session focused on the future of façades, including responses to changes in regulations and performance requirements, and the role of technology in shaping buildings. An excellent, insightful event, enjoyed by all who attended. Many thanks to CWCT for organising. #construction #windows #cladding #facades
