It’s important for us to empower clients to make decisions on specifications for their project. Tom and Fraser toured the Central Belt with one of our clients to visit five glazing suppliers so that both the client and the design team could understand how each supplier could help us meet our requirements in different ways. It was a chance for us to get into the nitty gritty of all aspects of the glazing systems and an efficient way to make decisions with the client fully involved. #glazingshowroom #newbuild #suppliervisit

Plan for Long-Term Maintenance in Glazing Systems 🔧 When designing glazing systems, factoring in long-term maintenance is key for efficiency and cost savings: - Specify Easy-to-Replace Gaskets: Choose gaskets that can be swapped out quickly to reduce service time. - Accessible Hardware: Design with accessible parts to simplify repairs and upkeep. - Glass Replacement-Friendly Systems: Opt for systems that allow glass replacement without disassembling the entire frame. Strategic planning extends the lifespan of glazing systems, keeping them performing well and reducing operational costs over time. #LongTermMaintenance #GlazingSystems #FacadeEfficiency #GlassContractors #SustainableDesign

Gain a clear understanding of the distinction between Building-Applied Photovoltaics (BAPV) and Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). Learn how BAPV refers to solar panels mounted on existing structures, while BIPV involves photovoltaic elements seamlessly integrated into the building’s architecture, such as in facades, roofs, or windows. This session will explore the technical and aesthetic advantages of each, as well as their implications for energy efficiency and design innovation. #SmartDesign #GreenBuildingSolutions #ArchitecturalGlass #InHouseGroup3 #YourCPDprovider #Architects #Designers #Builders

Why does casework take so long and why do you have to settle for preset sized units and fillers to do a build out? You don't have to to accept either with DIRTT "custom is standard" casework. DIRTT is parametrically designed to match your space constraints and ready to ship in 21-calendar days! Talk to DIRTT and our DIRTT Partners to solve your casework requirements.

The right kind of on-site equipment matters! ✅ The University of Zürich Irchel completed a complex renovation project last year, involving the replacement of multiple protected glass units 🏛️.   Due to the building’s unique architectural status, the work was subject to strict monument protection regulations. This required the window seals to be crafted exactly as they were when the building was first constructed, presenting a unique challenge in terms of precision and accuracy 🔍.   To meet these demands, the glazing team utilized the Winlet 400 glazing robot, which proved essential. Its compact design and agility allowed it to maneuver effortlessly, even in confined areas and challenging conditions. Although they selected the TL version with extra-wide wheels, the Winlet 400 smoothly navigated elevators and crossed floor pipes laid by other contractors 🚧.   This project highlights just how crucial it is to have the right equipment on-site. Winlet glazing robots enable smooth, efficient, and—most importantly—safe handling for both workers and materials.   Don't hesitate to contact us for guidance on your glazing projects. 🤝 #Winlet #Glazing #Construction #GlazingTechnology #SafetyFirst #PrecisionWork #GMV
