Perforated facade and metal architecture

/

Discover this perforated architectural facade applied as the exterior skin of the new Aerospace Vocational Training Center in La Rinconada, Seville. The construction of the Integrated Vocational Training Center (CPIFP) and its perforated facade has taken place on a plot of 12.049,30 square meters in La Rinconada, Seville. It has a built area of 10.255 square meters, distributed between a main building and four workshops. The main building has three floors, and it is on the two upper floors that TAS has left its mark with its range of architectural facade profiles. Specifically, it is a perforated facade made with the Dragonera facade profile. The perforated metal facade and its versatility The purpose of installing this folded and micro-perforated sheet cladding is to add an additional layer to the building’s envelope, providing greater insulating protection against extreme temperatures without sacrificing aesthetics and natural lighting. In this way, the application of this type of architectural facade profile adds added value to the building’s architecture, making it a reference in terms of aesthetics without sacrificing a functional and practical solution. Perforated facade design As mentioned earlier, for this project, the Dragonera Facade Profile – Scale 2 and Scale 3 have been applied, manufactured in galvanized steel sheet with R5T7 micro-perforations and double-sided post-coating in RAL 9006 color. For this building, over 500 square meters of the Dragonera Facade Profile have been manufactured and supplied to cover the entire upper part of the facade, serving as a parapet between the windows and the exterior. The asymmetric serrated effect has been achieved thanks to the symmetry of this profile, and a customized design of the facade has been implemented. In this way, Scale 2 has been combined with Scale 3 of the Dragonera Profile, placing them randomly to achieve a unique envelope. Due to TAS’s production process, which is based on the individual cutting, folding, and punching of each sheet, this custom facade design has been successfully manufactured and delivered by TAS without posing a major challenge to the technical department or the factory. Similarly, the corners of the building have been easily resolved thanks to the adaptability and malleability of folded steel. In this case, the geometry of the Dragonera Profile allows for a perfect fit to cover the corner and maintain the same aesthetic throughout the entire facade.

Zinc envelope – Mayoral logistic center

/

Discover all the details of the envelope of this industrial building with over 13.500m2 of facade, resolved with ElZinc® Bilacado from Asturiana de Laminados and the Cabrera profile from TAS. This building is the new logistics center for the children’s clothing brand Mayoral. Located in Málaga, it spans over 15.600 m2 and has a facade height of 20 meters. Details of the exterior envelope. The exterior envelope of this building has been constructed with the Cabrera profile. Specifically, over 2.000 pieces of Cabrera profile ElZinc® Bilacado with a thickness of 0.7 mm, coated on both sides in RAL 9016 color, and microperforated R2T4 have been manufactured. Tailored suit for a unique envelope. This project has demanded a high level of involvement from our technical department as a ‘tailored suit’ has been created for the envelope. In this regard, each piece of the Cabrera profile has been custom-made one by one, taking into account the inclination and curvature of each section of the facade for an optimal fit. While zinc is a resilient and durable metal, at TAS, all necessary precautions are always taken during the manufacturing of each profile, as well as in its packaging, to prevent any kind of damage or incidents. For this project, each package of manufactured profiles was delivered in a pallet container directly to the construction site for facade installation. The manufacturing and supply of materials for this project spanned a period of approximately 9 months. Throughout this time, close collaboration between the installation team and our commercial and production departments has been essential to meet all project milestones and work hand in hand with our client at every phase. The envelope, constructed with corrugated zinc sheeting using the Cabrera profile, has been fixed onto a curved metal structure to achieve a wavy effect. Simultaneously, this structure has been attached to S355 steel tubular profiles applied as three-dimensional trusses along the entire perimeter and structure of the building. According to the project’s responsible technical office, CEMOSA, approximately 1,500 tons of steel have been used for the construction of the entire structure. Interior envelope. On the other hand, the internal skin of the building has been resolved with 9,000 m2 of translucent polycarbonate panels in white. Thanks to the R2T4 microperforation of the installed facade profile, it provides a significant amount of natural light to the interior of the building. This unique combination of the interior and exterior cladding of the building allows for an excellent and sustainable architectural solution, as it will reduce energy consumption for lighting the facilities. In terms of sustainability, this building has been conceived following the principles of the circular economy, as the majority of materials used in its construction – steel, zinc, and polycarbonate – are 100% recyclable. This new industrial warehouse has been designed by the prestigious architect Rafael Urquiza Sánchez from System Arquitectura, and the main contractor for the project has been the Malaga-based construction company SANDO. On the other hand, the zinc supplier has been Asturiana de Laminados, S.A., one of the leading manufacturers of rolled zinc for construction globally, with a presence in over 50 countries. This project has been featured in an article by the architecture sector magazine Arquitectura Viva, which we recommend visiting if you have additional interest in this impressive building. Your partner for a unique envelope. At TAS, we have over 15 years of experience participating in unique projects with distinctive facades. We manufacture our facade profiles using materials such as steel, aluminum, zinc, or stainless steel in various grades, colors, and thicknesses.

Did you know that proximity to sea affects the selection of the metal to be used for your metallic facade?

/

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. You can learn more about this project here. Do you want to know more? Do not hesitate to contact us.

Customized manufacturing of metallic facade | Real success story | Decorative metal sheet |

/

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 you would like more information about our standard range of architectural facade profiles, do not hesitate to enter the following link. 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.

Folded metal sheet for facades: Elegance and Resistance in Architecture

/

Learn about all the benefits of using folded metal sheets to cover and give character to the facade of a building. Folded sheet metal for facades is a material used for facade cladding due to its elegance, versatility and resistance. The bending technique of the metal – whether steel, aluminum, or zinc to name a few examples – creates an attractive visual effect and provides a durable solution for exterior cladding. In this article, we will explore the features, benefits, and applications of folded sheet metal applied to architectural facades. Characteristics of the folded metal sheet for facades The folded sheet metal usually comes in most cases from coils that are unrolled and cut to the length and width necessary for the project in question. Once the sheets are cut from the coil, they are ready to be perforated if necessary, or directly bended. The folds are made in special machines designed for this function called “folders”. In this sense, there are manual folding machines that work in a single direction and automatic folding machines that are capable of folding on both sides, which makes the folding process much easier and faster. The process of generating folds in the sheet to varying degrees and at varying distances from one another creates a visually appealing geometry and texture. Furthermore, these folds not only add an aesthetic element to the facade, but also increase the rigidity and strength of the material. Benefits of folded sheet metal for facades: Sleek and modern aesthetics: The pleat pattern in the sheet metal provides a distinctive and contemporary look to the building’s facade. The variety of shapes and sizes of folds allows the creation of unique and personalized designs, adapted to architectural tastes and needs. Durability and resistance: Metal is a highly resistant and durable material, capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions and resisting corrosion. Folded steel or aluminum sheet metal retains these properties well, ensuring the longevity and reduced maintenance of the exterior cladding. Versatility in design: Folded sheet metal can be used in a variety of facade applications, including commercial, residential and public building cladding. Its flexibility allows it to adapt to different shapes and architectural geometries, creating a dynamic and attractive appearance. Energy efficiency: By combining the folded sheet metal with insulating materials, the energy efficiency of the building is improved by increasing thermal insulation. This contributes to reduce the expense and energy in the interior conditioning of the building. At TAS we are experts with more than 15 years of experience in sheet metal folding. We are capable of folding metal sheets with a length of up to 8 meters and a thickness of 6 mm. We work a wide range of metals such as: Steel Aluminum Zinc corten steel Stainless steel Hot Rolled Steel TPO laminate Do you need a customized metal solution tailored to your project?

Metallic cladding based on the Mallorca 6 architectural profile, a suitable choice for sustainable construction. More than 4,000 m2 of the Mallorca 6 profile have been manufactured and supplied for this recently opened residential building in Seville, Spain. For this project, the Mallorca 6 Profile has been manufactured starting from a galvanized steel coil with a thickness of 0.8 mm and perforated R5T7.5 to subsequently lacquer it in the oven on both sides in RAL 9010 colour. As can be seen, this profile has been used to enclose the terraces of each home in this building, providing elegance, design, and privacy. In addition, the perforation allows air to pass through and helps to maintain a more balanced temperature during the hottest months, while providing light and spaciousness inside the home. The Mallorca 6 profile has a useful width of 990 mm, which allows progress and cover a large part of a project quickly and economically. This profile can be manufactured up to 6 meters long and has a rib height of 53 mm. Given that for this project the profile was post-lacquered in the oven with 55 microns of paint on both sides, the perforations were covered and with it, the steel protection of this profile was guaranteed. This gives this facade greater durability over the years and will prevent the appearance of rust. At TAS, we have a range of architectural profiles for facades, but, of course, we adjust to any metal facade project and we manufacture customized architectural profiles for each project.
