Hollow Metal Balconies Compartmentation A common but often overlooked detail in facade design is the fire risk posed by hollow steel balconies that span across dwelling units. 🔥 Without proper compartmentation, fire and smoke can spread horizontally within these cavities—much like they do in rain-screen cladding systems. While installing mineral wool cavity barriers may not be practical, stainless steel trays are a highly effective solution for compartmentation. ✅ Don’t compromise on fire safety! 🔒 Watch the full tutorial on the IAST YouTube channel for more insights.

When choosing cladding and facade materials for commercial builds there are several key considerations including aesthetics, safety, functionality durability and environmental impact. With several tragic cladding-related fires in Australia and worldwide, it is more important than ever that safe, non-combustible building products are used for all building facades. Take a loot at this special feature on cladding and facade solutions for commercial builds, published in the recent Q2 Commercial Issue of Architecture & Design (Australia) magazine. The feature showcases some of the latest solutions and innovations from leading suppliers including Network Architectural, Metz Group, DECO Australia, Fairview, UniCote® Steel and DCA Facade Australia Read article - https://bit.ly/4daenLL Subscribe to Architecture & Design magazine - https://bit.ly/3UNWnP0 #Architects #Architecture #ArchitectureAndDesign #Cladding #Facades

Architects often ask us the question: Does your fiber cement panels fade over time?🤔 Our EQUITONE facade panels does not fade! On the contrary, they beautifully patinate over the years, adding depth and character to the building's appearance. Just look at these photos from a construction project in 2008. Our panels are UV-resistant, and that's one of the reasons why the facade panels develop a uniform patina over time. Therefore, you can assuredly choose EQUITONE facade panels for your next building project without worrying about unwanted changes in appearance.

We invest time and effort in the materials for the ceiling, but often its harmonization remains incomplete. When lighting fixtures are designed to match the chosen material and unnecessary electrical outlets are removed, a polished result is achieved.
