Knauf #BlueProjects: a building with an impressive design in Nicosia's Acropolis, which gave it its name: Acropolis Residences. The construction is made of reinforced concrete, with brick masonry. ✅ Knauf AQUAPANEL Outdoor 12,5mm cement board system was applied, to satisfy the architectural need with the external sloping decorative elements on the balconies, which was very difficult to support with the load-bearing brick masonry. ✅ Knauf THERMOPROSOPSIS Organic external thermal insulation system was applied. The application meets the required energy efficiency class A+. ✅ For the application of large tiles, Knauf Super Flex C2TE-S1 was chosen. The cement-based, high adhesion tile, with increased processing time-pasting, zero slip and increased elasticity. ✅ In the delivery of a perfect finished surface on the walls, Knauf 3rd Hand Plaster was ideal.

Does 9Wood sell wood walls? We do manufacture wall panels. They are certainly not as common a product for us as ceilings. We market ourselves as a ceiling company, but we certainly can do walls as well. A lot of wood walls that we see are extensions of the ceiling system: grilles or linears, tiles, acoustic planks, acoustic tiles, or perf tiles. What are typical custom wood wall applications? Typical wood wall applications we would see are like pony walls, curtain walls, fronts of stages, or maybe a counter area where we’re cladding the front of it. Also, wall partitions or wall screens are popular custom wood wall applications. What is a wall screen? 9Wood does do wall screens. We have a standard application for both vertical and horizontal wood wall options. A wall screen is something that’s visible from both sides. It tends to be freestanding; however, it will most often be tied into an adjacent ceiling system of the same type. https://lnkd.in/epKsEyGS #customwoodceilings #9wood #customwoodwalls

🏗 CLT #RibFloorSlabs are revolutionizing the construction industry with their robust yet lightweight design. These engineered wood products that are used in construction for #floorsystems provide exceptional strength and durability, making them ideal for supporting heavy loads in both residential and commercial buildings. What sets CLT rib floor slabs apart is their versatility and flexibility in design. Their lightweight nature compared to traditional concrete or steel options reduces the overall building weight, allowing for creative architectural expressions and configurations. In multi-story buildings, CLT rib floor slabs offer a range of benefits. They can span longer distances without additional support, creating spacious open floor plans and minimizing the need for columns. Moreover, their prefabricated nature and easy installation process lead to faster construction times and potential cost savings. The ribbed profile of CLT rib floor slabs not only simplifies installation but also enhances acoustic insulation, improving sound attenuation within buildings. #CLTRibFloor #MassTimberDesign #SustainableConstruction

When it comes to wall cladding, stainless steel outshines other materials such as wood, tile, or aluminum. Its combination of strength, durability, and low maintenance makes it an excellent choice for both residential and commercial projects. Learn why stainless steel is the preferred choice for architects and designers.  🚩 Let’s explore the benefits of stainless steel over other cladding materials for your next project. #WallCladding #MaterialComparison #StainlessSteelCladding #ArchitecturalSolutions #BuildingMaterials #Vigorss

A **load-bearing structure** uses thick walls to support the building's weight, limiting design flexibility but being cost-effective for small buildings. In contrast, a **frame structure** relies on a steel or concrete skeleton, allowing for thinner walls, greater design flexibility, and suitability for taller buildings, though at a higher initial cost.

When advising your clients on home extensions, the choice of roof pitch holds significant importance. While flat roofs may provide a contemporary look and space-saving advantages, pitched roofs, particularly when aligned with the existing structure, contribute to a unified aesthetic. Opting for a low-pitched roof in an extension enables the utilisation of coordinating tiles, ensuring a harmonious integration with the current architecture. This is where ISOLINE® LOW LINE can help. Designed for low pitch roofs and seamless integration with any roof tile, this waterproofing system opens up a world of design possibilities.

Choosing the correct brick is an important decision for any project 🧱 There are several factors to consider, like the intended use of the building, the climate and environment in which the building will be located, and the aesthetic preferences of the builder or designer. Some bricks are better suited for specific uses than others; for example, solid bricks are more durable and suitable for load-bearing structures, while hollow bricks are better suited for non-load-bearing walls. #Brickwork #Bricks #Build #Architecture #Contractor #BrickworkContractor #Construction #Bricklayer #Bricklayers #ConstructionNorthWest #NorthWestConstruction
