I've been meaning to take some thermal images of our brick house, after we got stranded by the builder who improperly renovated our home before selling it to us. Due to interstitial wall condensation issues, freeze/thaw, and spalling, we were negotiating an over-clad solution, with insulation and a rainscreen, but got left with only a white elastomeric coat. Drybulb yesterday was 95F. Our west facing white brick wall at 4:45pm was clocking 93-95F Our west facing red face brick wall at 4:45pm was clocking 106-115F Our neighbor's west facing unpainted common face brock was clocking 109F That is a 15-20% reduction in surface temperature. PSA: painting brick is generally considered bad, but a vapor open product or a lime wash can work. #architecture #buildingscience #climatechange #thermalimaging

🔸 How do you currently detail masonry cavity walls at the base of the wall, below DPC level? Our white paper looks at the design of cavity walls, and how XPS insulation can help improve the efficiency of junctions - reducing thermal bridging.

This video captures the process behind the installation of our Elements Stain Series tongue and groove ceiling. On one side, ESS in the Cayman Brac color is fully installed. On the other side, you can see the installation in progress, where PVC strips are secured with tapcons into the concrete decking. For areas with electrical and plumbing, framing is covered with Advantech plywood before the tongue and groove is glued and nailed, ensuring a seamless blend across the ceiling. One of the most distinctive aspects of the Elements Stain Series is that no two boards are identical. Each piece is hand-finished, creating subtle variations within a unified color palette. This process results in an authentic, natural wood appearance with the durability of synthetic materials. #tongueandgroove #carpentry #customhomes #homeconstruction #architecturaldesign #buildingmaterials #millwork #exteriordesign #exteriors #architects_need #buildingmaterials

CLAYTON // Installation Options 🧱 👷♂️ 📏 Fairview’s Clayton Terracotta Façade System offers three installation options, each engineered for optimal stability, durability and ease of installation. 1. Wall Bracket & T-Profile System The Wall Bracket & T-Profile System maximizes cavity depth for insulation, improving energy efficiency and providing excellent protection against weather and impacts. 2. Top Hat System The Top Hat System allows for deeper cavity depths, improving insulation and moisture management. It's ideal for large-scale façade applications where direct installation on the sub-framing isn’t possible, or when an extra cavity (24-35mm) is needed. 3. Stud Wall System The Stud Wall System offers a quick and cost-effective installation, securely fixing terracotta tiles while minimizing overall installation time. The installation video shared shows the Top Hat System including the vertically mounted top hats positioned at specific intervals according to the building's load requirements. The tile carrier is securely attached to these top hats, enabling a secure installation of the Clayton terracotta tiles.

Timber joists provide critical support for ceilings, flooring, and sheathing. These closely spaced beams (450-900mm apart) are typically made of softwoods like C16 or C24, each with distinct strength and cost attributes. This article explores the design process for timber joists to BS EN 1995-1-1:2004 Eurocode 5 standards. Topics include timber classification, modification factors for environmental and load conditions, and essential design checks for flexure, shear, and deflection .

Thickness may vary based on architectural requirements and surface conditions. For high-precision finishes (example:- polished walls), thinner gypsum plaster is often preferred. Exceeding standard thickness can lead to cracks and detachment. For thicker layers, wire mesh or fiber reinforcement is recommended.

🏗️ Understanding Waffle Slab Construction: A Game-Changer in Modern Building 🏗️ Waffle slabs are revolutionizing the construction industry with their unique design and exceptional benefits. These grid-like slabs offer strength, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, making them a top choice for large-scale projects. Why Choose Waffle Slabs? ✅ Strength & Stability: Perfect for high-load areas like commercial and industrial spaces. ✅ Material Efficiency: Use less concrete, but maintain exceptional durability. ✅ Aesthetic Appeal: Adds a sleek, exposed ceiling design with a modern touch. The Construction Process 1️⃣ Formwork Setup: Arrange grid molds to form the ribs. 2️⃣ Reinforcement: Steel bars provide tensile strength for added stability. 3️⃣ Concrete Pouring: Concrete fills the molds, forming the slab and ribs. 4️⃣ Curing & Demolding: Let the structure cure before removing the formwork. Waffle slabs are perfect for projects where form meets function! Whether you're working on a commercial building or modern residential space, they provide a robust, cost-effective solution. 📽️: Unknown All rights reserved to respective owner. DM for credits.
