IWI Project Due To Start Shortly - Historic Property - Solid Walls(No Cavity) After a site visit to this large historic property and a hygrothermal risk analysis done via WUFI, (in order to ascertain a safe level of wood fibre insulation to be used, so as not to cause interstitial condensation). The insulating of the inside of the external solid walls is due to start shortly. A layer of lime insulating plaster will be used as a levelling / dubbing out coat prior to the wood fibre insulation being applied. It's imperative that there are no air pockets between the back of the wood fibre boards and the wall, as a dew point can form at this point. Lime plaster will be used to finish the wood fibre boards, with a base coat of Baumit RK70 and a finishing coat of Baumit KlimaGlatt. Watch this space, I will post again once installation starts!

Metal does not absorb moisture like wood or other porous materials. Moisture absorption is a key factor in the development of mold and rot. Since metal does not absorb water, it does not provide an environment where mold and rot can thrive. #architect #construction #renovation #metalroof #metalsiding #commercialbuilding #homeimprovement https://hubs.ly/Q02vDc4Z0

"🔬 The Art and Science of Concrete Mix Design 🏗️ Every construction project has unique demands, and at Solid Rock Ready Mix, we understand that there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Dive into the fascinating world of concrete mix design, where science meets craftsmanship to create the perfect blend of strength, workability, and durability. #ConcreteMixDesign #ConstructionScience #BuildingMaterials #ConcreteTechnology #SolidRockReadyMix"

Do you already know our new reference of the month? Innovative construction projects also bring great challenges with them. For example, how do you ensure optimum structure- and footfall sound insulation in a 65 metre high timber hybrid building? 🚧 The challenge: wooden ceilings have a lower mass than concrete ceilings and are susceptible to vibrations - which leads to poorer sound values. An innovative solution was needed to ensure living comfort on the 25 cm thick ceilings. 💡 The solution: the development of a new installation method and our revolutionary Prefab Floor 2K special binder. Using a special hose system, the material was pumped up precisely and applied in just one application step. This process made it possible to insulate 640 m² per floor in just two days - a real time-saver! 👷♂️This new technology not only reduces the construction time, but also prevents moisture-related damage to the wooden structure - ideal for urban timber construction.

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
