Continuum is designed to accommodate tolerances and live loads common to multi-storey car parks, while giving architects versatility in design to bring visions to reality.
Application
Continuum™ is suited to multi-storey car parks however it can be used where there is a requirement for a seamless panel facade.
Description
Solid and perforated architectural panels provide an effective solution to a buildings envelope design. Continuum can be customised to meet the design specification for a project. Panels can be shaped or flat.
Panel construction:
Cor-Ten sheet, thickness dependent of project location and wind loadings. Perforated panels to comprise 30 mm holes at 40 mm triangular pitch as standard.
Vertical support construction:
Continuum mullions, made of 6063 T6 extruded aluminium installed to suitable fixing grounds by purpose-designed bracketry.
Bracket construction:
Laser cut and folded brackets, designed and engineered to suit the project location, wind loadings and tolerances, manufactured from galvanized mild steel, and installed direct to suitable fixings grounds.
Panel colour/ finish:
Natural finish.
Vertical support colour/ finish:
Specific to each project – polyester powder-coated 60 µm or mill finish.
Bracket colour/finish:
Specific to each project – hot dip galvanized.
