| The key factors of an exterior curtain wall are the little weight of the construction, a high insulation as well as the fire resistance for public buildings like hospitals. An ideal solution: facade elements of lightweight steel frames from Cocoon. | ![]() |
The light weight of the elements made from steel frames takes the weight of the construction of the building and simply comply with the construction physical requirements. For buildings of any size the realization is fast and resource efficient and goes alongside with a wide creative variety.
For buildings over 4 floors and public buildings like hospitals there is often a fire resistance construction of the building required. That’s when the steel-frame lightweight construction has it’s advantage.
Often construction projects need to be realized within a narrow time frame. Due to the possibility of the prefabrication and the assembly regardless of weather conditions steel-frame lightweight constructions allows a very efficient realization.
Facades in light steel frames are especially in regions with prone to earthquakes a very ideal solution. The seismic bulk which is moving at an earthquake is little. Steel is compared to other material very elastic and resilient.
