FACADES

ELVIAL FS50

Creating beautiful facades has never been more exciting. The challenges of the even surface and performance have been overcome.

THE DESIGN

This flexible solution seamlessly supports advanced architectural design and engineering requirements. It secures the space against the elements of nature while allowing light to function to the benefit of interior design.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

LARGE GRIDS

The ability to create large grids with multiple mullion-transom connection solutions provides significant flexibility in architectural design and construction. This allows for the efficient distribution of loads and the customization of structural elements to meet specific project requirements. By utilizing various connection solutions, designers can enhance the stability and aesthetic appeal of the grid system.

SAME LEVEL APPEARANCE AND SHADE

A same level appearance can contribute to a seamless and cohesive aesthetic, enhancing the overall visual appeal of the environment. On the other hand, shade can add depth allowing for dynamic lighting effects and improved comfort. These options enable designers to tailor spaces to meet specific functional and aesthetic needs.

3 LEVEL DRAINAGE SYSTEM

Three profile levels, mullions, transoms, and 2nd Level transoms, designed to efficiently accommodate various grid shapes. This is particularly beneficial in scenarios where a vertical mullion intersects with a horizontal transom, which can create discontinuities in the drainage channels. The use of a 2nd level transom, effectively resolves this issue, ensuring the correct operation of the drainage system and the overall stability of the structure.

T-CLEAT CONNECTOR

The mullion-transom connection with T-cleat connector offers a fast, easy and economical solution for the safe placement of the transom on the column. This mode of connection facilitates installation, while providing stability to construction. In addition, it is possible to apply a special foam gasket, which effectively absorbs contractions and expansions, ensuring that the inner face of the frame is not affected. This approach combines functionality and aesthetics, making it ideal for various construction applications.

U-CLEAT CONNECTOR

The mullion-transom connection with U-cleat connector is a classic, timeless solution and offers stability and durability in many construction applications. In addition, there is the possibility of optional application of a special polyamide end cap, which covers any imperfections in the mullion-transom connection, offering a more elegant and complete look. This approach combines functionality and aesthetics, making it ideal for a variety of constructions.

PRESSURE PLATE'S DIVIDED GASKET

The specially designed 5mm gasket, of which a part is cut off at the point of assembly, is designed to serve specific needs in the drainage and ventilation areas. This adaptation is critical to the efficiency and safety of structures, ensuring that air and water are managed effectively.

MULLION'S DIVIDED GASKETS

The specially designed gaskets, in which a part is cut off at the point of connection to the transom, are designed to ensure absolute continuity of sealing. This approach allows to avoid leaks and enhance the overall integrity of the system, ensuring that connections remain secure and functional.

MULLION'S CONNECTION

The use of a special sealing accessory in the connection area of the mullions is essential for effective water management. This accessory facilitates the transfer of water from one mullion to another, ensuring enhanced waterproofing and preventing moisture accumulation, which can lead to structural issues over time. Furthermore, when combined with mullion reinforcement, it significantly improves the overall strength and durability of the structure. This integrated approach not only enhances the performance of the system but also contributes to the long-term sustainability of the building.

MULLION'S DRAINAGE AND VENTILATION

The use of a special EPDM accessory, ensures effective drainage and ventilation, preventing moisture accumulation and mold formation. This combined approach enhances the long-term strength of the mullion and improves overall system performance.

EXTRA FEATURES

ROUNDED STRUCTURE SOLUTIONS

The ability of full-circle constructions without the use of angular pressure plates offers many architectural and construction advantages. The use of special gaskets allows angles of up to  0.349 rad per column.

ULTIMATE COMPATIBILITY

ELVIAL's FS50 facade system offers flexibility and combination with the company's thermal insulation systems, using a single additional thermal insulation profile. This makes the FS50 an ideal choice for modern architectural applications.

SKYLIGHT CONSTRUCTIONS

Skylight constructions with the use of special components that ensure perfection of construction and cover architectural needs.

FIXING ONTO THE CONCRETE

Special internal fixing brackets which are used in case that mullions are placed inside the structure and do not "hang" externally.

VERTICAL

The vertical facades offer unique aesthetics and are a modern solution for highlighting natural lighting. They are used on large building facades, providing unobstructed views of the external environment, while ensuring safety and insulation.

VERTICAL

ANGULAR

Angular facades are placed in the corner positions of a building, covering two or more walls at once. This architectural option allows maximizing the entrance of natural light and offers excellent views of the environment around the building. Additionally, the ability to create full-circle constructions without the use of angular pressure plates enhances design flexibility and aesthetics.

ROUNDED ANGLE CORNER

SKYLIGHTS

Skylight facades are an excellent choice for improving interiors, offering natural light and aesthetic superiority. They are ideally combined with roof windows, thereby creating a harmonious and bright atmosphere that enhances the sense of space.

PROJECTED OUT

The combination of projected out windows and vertical facades expands design possibilities. The result is spaces that are both functional and immersive, creating a unique user experience. The interaction between light and materials enhances modern architecture and highlights the importance of a sustainable and ergonomic approach to building design.

PROJECTED OUT

WINDOWS

The combination of opening windows and vertical facades can create an extremely functional and elegant space. The opening windows can be placed between vertical facades, creating alternations in the surfaces of the building and facilitating air circulation. This strikes the perfect balance between ventilation, lighting and views.

WINDOW

DOORS

Doors and vertical facades are two important elements in the architectural design and functionality of interior and exterior spaces. Their combination can create spectacular entry or exit points, enhancing the flow of natural light indoors.

SPANDREL

The combination of spandrel and vertical facades can offer excellent results, both functionally and aesthetically. The spandrel can highlight the style and uniformity of the building, while the vertical facades can create a sense of spacious and bright interior layout. With this combination, architects can strike a harmonious balance between privacy and visibility while maintaining the necessary structural requirements.
