In pre-engineered buildings, joists are the hidden heroes. These horizontal steel beams act like mini bridges, spanning between walls or larger beams to support floors, ceilings, and roofs. They carry the weight, ensuring everything stays level and stable #PreEngineeredBuildings #Construction #StructuralEngineering #BuildingDesign #Joist #SteelBeams #Architecture #BuildingSolutions #ConstructionInnovation #StructuralSupport #EngineeringExcellence #ModernConstruction #BuildingMaterials

Cantilevered: Extending Your Knowledge of Structural Design (#Engineering #Architecture #CivilEngineering) Ever wondered how those daring balconies jut out from buildings? The answer lies in the power of cantilevers! These unsupported horizontal beams are a cornerstone of modern architecture, allowing for: Expansive Balconies & Overhangs: Creating beautiful outdoor spaces and providing shade. Strong Bridges: Used in suspension bridges to support the roadway. Innovative Design: Pushing the boundaries of form and function. In this post, we'll delve deeper into the world of cantilevers, exploring: The engineering principles behind their stability. Different materials used for cantilever construction. Real-world examples of iconic cantilevered structures. Join the conversation!

Grand Light's submittal process includes enhanced finish evaluations, testing, sampling, and mock-up. These evaluations are crucial in testing a specified finish or preserving/restoring a historically accurate finish by providing a realistic, physical perspective for review by the client or design team.

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.

www.fioranese.it DOT BY ANDREA MAFFEI DOT is Andrea Maffei’s interpretation of concrete, for him the material which best defines modern architecture. These concrete-effect tiles are inspired by a particularly “rich” architectural cement, used by some of the great names in contemporary architecture to construct and transform spaces. In fact, the distinctive feature of this exposed concrete is the DOT, that is the point left by the matrix on concrete, creating a geometric pattern on the entire surface. DOT makes a common material such as concrete accessible to everyone, which however is rarely found in standard buildings with similar architectural features and precious characteristics. All environments will find a new material and a new light with DOT concrete-effect tiles.

As timber specialists, we often collaborate with architectural firms in both consulting and subcontracting roles. We've heard from architects that they sometimes struggle with integrating mass timber instead of traditional materials like steel and concrete, due to challenges in finding measurable specifications. Often, timber is used as an aesthetic afterthought to wrap columns or incorporate box beams, which unnecessarily doubles the cost of materials and labor. Similarly, traditional stick-framed buildings may include additional faux trusses, again increasing resource and labor costs. Many view timber as a premium option but overlook the significant cost savings it can bring to a project's final budget. If this resonates with you, we should talk!
