Do not miss this article published by Ecoconstruccion magazine on the latest architectural facade project where TAS has participated We are very happy to announce that the magazine Ecoconstruction in its montly publication has collected the details of the project in which we participated last year 2022 with the supply of more than 15,000 m2 of an architectural profile designed ad hoc. We appreciate this very special mention and we leave you below the link where you can access the full article (pages 62 and 63): We hope this is the first of many appearances in the industry magazines and remind you that we are experts in customized metal projects, so do not hesitate to contact us about your project.

Discover in this post what type of paint your metallic facade should have That’s how it is! As you already know, the salinity of the sea is very aggressive against most of the materials that are used. At TAS we know how important this is and when to use solutions that are prepared for these circumstances and that guarantee the maximum durability of your metallic facade. What distance from the sea is considered a marine environment? Specifically, it is considered that the sea factor should be taken into account for buildings that are between 12 and 15 kilometers away from the marine environment. If this recommendation is not taken into account, it is likely that you will have to completely restore or change your facade after a few years, with the cost and hassle that this entails. That is why when we talk about marine environments, we must use steel that starts from Granite HDX® coils. These coils incorporate a 55 µm paint system and have excellent durability and extra resistance to corrosion. To give us an idea, the ordinary pre-coated coils that are normally used have about 23 µm of paint. Therefore, we are talking about more than double the amount of paint to effectively have this protection. At TAS, we have been working with this type of material for more than 15 years. In addition, we have recently manufactured an architectural aluminum profile for a project located near the sea, for which a 10-year guarantee on the facade has been granted.

Discover the solution offered by TAS for this translucent metal parapet project installed on a metallic facade This office building needed a translucent parapet for the window of the front metallic facade. Specifically, it had to be a durable material, with minimal maintenance, and keeping the aesthetics and elegance of the facade. Architectural steel solutions TAS was able to provide a solution to this need by manufacturing customized architectural profiles, made of micro-perforated galvanized steel and post-lacquered on both sides in RAL 9001 color, matching the rest of the facade. Thanks to the use of steel with these characteristics, this metallic facade has the following advantages: Thermal insulation with respect to the outside temperature Privacy inside the offices without sacrificing natural light, since they allow you to see from the inside but not be seen from the outside. Durability over time and minimal or no maintenance. Ease and speed in assembly We adjust to a wide range of colors and geometries thanks to the fact that we manufacture each piece to measure in our own factory according to the specifications of each project. In addition, we facilitate the supply of customized samples so that our clients or the final client can evaluate the final finish of our profiles. Find your architectural steel solution at TAS.

This colorful facade matches its location, San Juan de Alicante, where the exterior facade of the Carrefour shopping center has been completely renovated, using a composite panel resource together with these perforated and post-lacquered steel trays. One of the latest projects in which TAS has participated with the supply of its Architectural Tray has been this Carrefour shopping center in San Juan de Alicante, Spain. TAS has manufactured Architectural Trays in different widths and with a 10 x 10 mm square random perforation. For this project, up to four different colors have been combined to achieve the chromatic scale that was demanded. These Architectural Trays have been made of steel with a thickness of 1 mm and folded on all four sides, to achieve greater rigidity, durability and ease of assembly. The solution has been installed on the entire upper part of the façade of this Carrefour shopping center and has been combined at the same time with the main facade built with composite panel. This shows that the solutions manufactured by TAS in both steel and aluminum are very versatile and allow a world of solutions within the reach of any designer, architect or technician. These trays are mainly used for decoration to give character to the building and are installed on an auxiliary support structure with omega profiles. In addition, they provide greater insulation against extreme temperatures since they protect the main facade. This project was developed by Carrefour Property in collaboration with CARMILA. If you currently have a metal facade project, do not hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to advise you.

How far do you think we can go to meet the demands of our customers in the manufacture of customized decorative sheets for metallic facades? We recently received a query about our Menorca profile, as it was the architectural profile chosen for a decorative border on the main facade of a residential building. Both the owner and the installer were convinced that the Menorca Profile was adequate and would offer an ideal construction solution. However, it was decided that they wanted to overlap or tongue and groove one with the other to give it a greater appearance of continuity and try to hide the cut between one profile and another. After receiving this query, our technical department got down to work in collaboration with the factory to see the feasibility of this request of customized metallic facade. After several tests, it was concluded that since each of the folds of this profile had a 90º opening, it was simply not possible to «splice» one profile onto another. So, it was tried to manufacture the profile with a slightly more open fold up to 100º but keeping both the useful width and its technical characteristics. On this occasion, the tests were successful and it was possible to verify how, now, one profile could overlap another to achieve the desired effect. This is how the creation of this new modified Menorca Profile or Menorca M Profile originated. An ideal architectural profile to create decorative borders on facades as long as necessary, and which has notable technical characteristics and an extraordinary visual appearance and finish. So far one more example of how we strive every day at TAS to focus on our clients and offer real and fast solutions.

If, on the contrary, your project requires a custom-made profile, send us details of it so that we can study it and we can give you both a price and a term. Greetings from the entire TAS team and see you soon here or on our social networks.

Sandwich sheet and sandwich panel are terms used in the construction and engineering industry to describe composite structures. Although both terms refer to internal and external skin panel systems, there are some differences between them. The sandwich sheet refers to a type of structure composed of two rigid external layers (usually metal) with an intermediate core of insulating material, such as polyurethane (PUR) or polyisocyanurate (PIR). These layers are joined together by a bonding or welding process, forming a strong and resistant structure. Sandwich sheets are commonly used in the construction of walls, ceilings and floors to provide thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as structural resistance. In principle, sandwich panel is a more general term that encompasses a variety of similar composite structures. Sandwich panels are also composed of outer layers and an insulating core, but they can be made of different materials, such as metal, wood, plastic, or fiberglass. These panels can have various applications in construction and industry, including facade cladding, roof coverings, doors, partition panels, among others. In short, the main difference lies in the terminology and scope of use. Sandwich sheet refers specifically to a structure composed of metal layers with an insulating core, while the term sandwich panel is broader and applies to various composite structures with different outer materials and insulating cores. Therefore, whenever we talk about a sandwich panel or sheet, we must not take anything for granted and specify or ask for specifications of the materials with which it has been manufactured. This way we will avoid misunderstandings and problems when consuming this architectural solution. At TAS we have more than 20 years of experience working with the PUR metal sandwich panel as well as its finishes for a perfect closing of facades and roofs. In addition, we have a large stock of these materials to be able to supply them immediately. Contact us for more information.
