In 1996, the Clinton County Courthouse faced a major challenge as water was infiltrating its beautiful plaster dome. Traditional sealing methods had failed to provide a lasting solution. Sika Emseal's Horizontal Colorseal proved to be the ideal solution for this difficult problem, providing watertight protection for the dome for over 16 years. Thanks to Emseal's innovative technology, leak-chasing mops and buckets have been replaced by rakes and garden tools. Protect your structure with Sika Emseal's watertight solutions: https://lnkd.in/eZnuXY-M #expansionjoints #sealants #construction #constructionindustry #constructionproducts #constructionservices #buildings #buildingproducts #buildingowners #waterproofing #waterproofingsolutions #buildingenclosure #buildingenvelope #buildingconstruction #Sika #Emseal #architects #architecture #consultingengineers #propertymanagement #propertyowners #facilitiesmanagement

A year after installing our #fibercement boards, what can you expect? Normally, our boards do not require any maintenance -- but weathering may influence their appearance. It's a good idea to have an annual inspection done of the ventilation gaps, joints and fixings. Detection and repair of possible damage ensures a prolonged lifespan for the #facade. For more tips, please read our Fabrication, Maintenance, and Jobsite Storage guide. https://ow.ly/plMa50RGhYw #americanfibercement #cladding #architecturedesign #sustainablearchitecture #greenbuilding #architect #facadedesign #buildingenvelope #buildingmaterials #modernarchitecture #construction #ventilatedfacade #maintenance

Revamp your plaza deck with our high-movement waterproof expansion joints and avoid costly repairs in the long run. Movement from structural expansion joints that are buried under hardscape decks (like this pavers shown in the photo) lend themselves to buckling and cracking.

This Victorian school building in Dorset is Grade II listed, we used the Clement Brooking range to manufacture new steel windows that satisfied the local planning Conservation team. Although usually not a requirement for listed buildings, we thought this photo is a great example of how it is possible to sensitively include Part L compliant trickle vents in replacement steel windows.  This has been achieved by fitting them in the head of the two “handed” side hung windows either side of the fixed light.   #clementwindows #creatinglightbeautifully #gradeiilisted #listedbuilding #conservation #conservationarchitecture #architecture #tricklevent #steelwindows #steelframedwindows #genuinesteelwindows #replicawindows #replacementwindows #replacementsteelwindows #heritagebuildings #traditionalbuildings #windowsinstone
