Facade material: Glass and steel
Practicality and modernity in one thanks to the combination of glass and steel
Contemporary facades of modern, glass containers, apart from their functionality, primarily determine the aesthetics of the building. The combination of such raw materials as glass and steel guarantees effective minimalism and a visual enlargement of the modular pavilion. The installation is built on the basis of a metal skeleton with point supports in order to strengthen the structure. The glass part is mounted with a veneer, which guarantees a certain minimum degree of mobility of the structure. This limits the fragility of the modular house and allows the natural expansion of building materials under the influence of temperature. The type of glass fittings depends on the surroundings of the service pavilion and the customer's choice. The glass facade makes it possible to obtain a very comfortable and safe service space, because the glass-steel casings are deeply soundproof the rooms and reduce heat loss. Passive and energy-saving construction makes extensive use of the possibilities of glass that transmits natural light, reducing electricity consumption and keeping the building temperature at a constant level.
Glass in combination with steel is an icon of passive construction
Glass maintenance is not difficult, but requires care for transparency, especially in urban surroundings where exhaust gases and dust settle on flat surfaces. Steel elements, on the other hand, clean themselves during rainfall thanks to their slippery surface. Regular inspection of the glazing is necessary in order to detect possible faults early and to maintain the safety of the container. The use of toughened glass in combination with wood-like panels allows for an industrial, fashionable style with a very functional version. Glass as a facade element in combination with metal leaves endless arrangement possibilities, which allows the satisfaction of even the most demanding contractors.
