At Sapphire, we are constantly evolving and innovating! We recently discussed the importance of a precast concrete façade in construction and how it reduces carbon emissions, time, and costs. After further consideration, we discovered that a precast façade might also be the best way to integrate intelligent balcony installations in construction projects. Swipe right to discover how easily Sapphire's balcony installations are sustainably fixed to the precast façade. #SustainableBuilding #ConstructionInnovation #CarbonReduction #BuildingEfficiency #IntelligentDesign #FacadeEngineering #GreenBuilding #ConstructionIndustry

Steel Construction uses steel as the primary material for building structures, offering unmatched strength, durability, and flexibility. Common in skyscrapers, bridges, and industrial buildings, it resists extreme weather, supports innovative designs, and ensures long-lasting, sustainable, and reliable construction solutions. https://lnkd.in/g2qJBphi #steelconstruction #steelconstructionsupplier

📢 Investigating Mould Growth Risks in Timber Framed Walls Our recent white paper delves into the complexities of mould growth in timber wall constructions, comparing Kooltherm rigid insulation with traditional methods. Through advanced hygrothermal modelling, we present findings that challenge conventional perceptions regarding insulation and mould risk, highlighting unexpected advantages of specific materials. To explore how these insights can influence building design and health, we invite you to read the full article on our website. 👉 https://bit.ly/4atXtWS #Insulation #MouldRisk #Kooltherm

If you have 5 minutes today, take a moment to read this article. It not only covers mould growth but also tackles one of the hottest topics in the building industry right now—insulation using 90mm framing!

Join us for a webinar presentation on Wednesday June 5th! (1 LU/HSW) Mass Timber for Developers and Owners with WoodWorks - Wood Products Council. Developers and owners are increasingly interested in exploring mass timber for their projects. This presentation provides an overview of mass timber structural systems. Prefabricated mass timber construction can help reduce schedules and labor while increasing safety. Wood has many environmental benefits for occupants, communities, project teams and investors. The aesthetics of wood are broadly appealing to a wide range of occupants. Its natural beauty can help attract tenants. The unique appearance helps differentiate mass timber buildings from competitors in the market. We'll discuss how all these factors can contribute value to mass timber developments. We'll also explore challenges unique to mass timber and resources available to address them. Attendees will learn where to look for mass timber opportunities in their future projects.
