🕰 Here's an epic #tbt for you: Did you know that Cantifix pioneered structural glazing? We created the first-ever project to use glass to bear building loads way back in 1991 with Fitzroy Park: a unique innovation of architectural skill. Cantifix's expertise set the standard in building design for years to come. Structural glazing has many advantages for your next project. It offers a practical frameless glass solution, which can create a stunning space. Unlike when a construction frame is used, structural glazing can include bespoke fixing details that can be hidden, creating a clear glass installation and strengthening the very fabric of your building. If you are considering glass as a key element in your renovation, extension or construction project - go for the original: choose Cantifix. #structuralglazing #structuralglass #glassdesign #glazinginnovation

While this is a great video, the beauty of the Perma-Tite Cantilever Coping is that there can be EIFS applied to the outside face of the wall, it could be a glass panel wall, or any other non-structural exterior product and this product will work great. Watch the video, as the securement of the product is along the top allowing the coping cap to extend out or cantilever over the non-structural component.

Just last week, we unveiled a project that truly exemplifies the brilliance of architectural steelwork. 🏗️✨ In the heart of the city, we transformed a once-dated building into a modern masterpiece, thanks to the innovative use of steel. The project was a testament to the versatility and strength of this material, which allowed us to push the boundaries of design and functionality. The highlight was the atrium. We crafted a sweeping steel staircase that serves not just as a means of ascent but as the centrepiece of the entire structure. Its sleek lines and reflective surfaces catch the light beautifully, creating a dynamic interplay of shadows and highlights throughout the day. But it wasn't just about aesthetics. The steelwork played a crucial role in the building's structural integrity. We engineered a series of steel frames that not only supported the additional floors but also enhanced the building's resistance to seismic activity. This fusion of form and function is something I take great pride in. This project is a clear indicator of how architectural steelwork isn't just a component of construction; it's a canvas for innovation. #Architecture #Steelwork #Innovation

Engineering Insights on Facade Systems. Facades are crucial in high-rise construction, offering aesthetic appeal, structural support, and environmental performance. There are various types of facade systems, each with unique design considerations, installation procedures, and safety implications. Types of Facades: 1. Curtain Wall Systems: Often used in modern skyscrapers, curtain walls are non-load bearing and attached to the building’s structure. They can be unitized or stick-built. 2. Cladding Systems: Include materials like metal panels, stone veneers, and composite panels, providing a durable exterior. 3. Double-Skin Facades: Consists of two layers of glass, offering enhanced thermal performance and acoustic insulation. 4. Green Facades: Incorporate vegetation to improve air quality and building aesthetics while providing insulation. The facade installation system is a part of Arco (Sahl Al-Tal Co.)'s activities.

Innovative Construction: Hidden Beams in Post-Tension Slabs 👷♂️ On-site today, we integrated hidden beams within our post-tension slab design to enhance structural efficiency and maintain aesthetic appeal. What Are Hidden Beams? Hidden beams, also known as concealed beams, are integrated within the slab's depth. They offer structural support without protruding, allowing for a flat ceiling finish that suits modern architectural designs. Benefits of Hidden Beams: 1) Aesthetic Flexibility: They enable a seamless ceiling finish, ideal for open-plan spaces and modern architecture. 2) Space Optimization: By incorporating beams within the slab, floor-to-ceiling heights can be maximized without compromising on structural integrity. 3) Load Distribution: Hidden beams effectively distribute loads across the slab, ensuring stability and strength. 4) Our Experience: Implementing hidden beams in our post-tension slab has provided both structural and design advantages, offering our clients the perfect blend of form and function.

Concrete Illuminated Bollards: Textural, durable, robust, monolithic, brutalist, grey, looks like thick oatmeal……, some of the many terms used to describe concrete. Whatever your view of this 5000-year-old marvel of construction technology, you have to admire its endurance. Considering whether or not to use concrete bollards in your project is now a much easier task, as you no-longer have to accept the usual suspects, i.e., boring domed pillars. Instead, you can choose to add something that is expressive, as well as utilitarian. This impressive creation from Light at Motion, simply called “concrete”, is one of a family of three crafted illuminated bollards of differing proportions. With an internal steel reinforced structure, concrete is robust and will appear rooted in any surrounding.  Concrete is available with various light outputs and colour temperatures.
