Element facades - Import export

The new Deichman Main Library, which opened in 2020, stands right beside the Norwegian Opera House in Oslo. Now complete, the library is a paragon of energy efficiency and low greenhouse gas emissions. We are delighted to have contributed towards the success of this project. Some of the extralarge, solid window frontage profiles on the sixstorey building were manufactured using modern machinery at TechnoComposites Domine GmbH. At approx. 0.5 metres thick and featuring several hollow chambers, these façade element profiles are clearly visible on the building.

Vosse is not always raw steel and heavy constructions, we also often undertake orders that require considerable precision and a sense of aesthetics. One of these was the implementation of facade elements for one of our Swiss clients. These powder coated aluminum elements (first 2 pictures) will be part of the façade of a modern residential building in Zurich. The number of operations performed on the next elements, photos (3 and 4) of which you can see below, is a long list. However, there are points on it that are undoubtedly worth being proud of. In addition to standard assembly and welding, we have performed, among others, glass beading and stud shooting - a task that is performed by few companies in our industry. What are these items? These are stainless anchors for mounting facades on high-rise buildings. The implementation of this order is another great result of the work of our entire team!

Fast curing, permanently elastic sealant and adhesive based on SMP. Neutral crosslinking and moisture curing, therefore designed for universal applications. Gomastit 2060 is suitable for jointing façade elements, glazing, joints in the sanitary area thanks to its high mould resistance as well as for joints in the floor area. Completely weather resistant, low odour and low emission. Certified and approved for applications in the food related area and for ventilation and airconditioning according to VDI 6022.

Armored or vandal-proof fiberglass meshes, unlike facade ones, are used where it is required to additionally protect the facade from mechanical damage and shock. These are usually basements or spaces approximately 1 meter high from the foundation. Therefore, these meshes must have increased strength characteristics and thickness. Armored fiberglass mesh “Djofra-M” meets the highest requirements for strength and power load, perfectly protects the basement and other parts of the building from impacts and mechanical damage. The impact strength of the facade is significantly increased, which allows the facade system as a whole to serve much longer. Another application of the anti-vandal mesh is suitable when installing heavy decorative elements on the facade of a building, such as natural stone. In places where natural stone or other heavy decorative elements are attached, a very high load is created, the armor mesh can handle this load.

CemCloak Soffit Strip is a high performing multipurpose building board that’s sole design purpose is to provide external weather protection to a range of applications. CemCloak Soffit strips and Undercloak strips offer high levels of weather, moisture and fire resistance along with dimensional stability creating a superior board used to cover roof edges, reveals and other facade elements. It’s resistant to water, is a non combustible, UV stable and fully weatherproof even at freezing temperatures. This board has a smooth finish and can easily be painted creating an attractive, consistent look with longevity.

Building-integrated photovoltaics can be used to enhance just about any part of the building‘s exterior: Balcony parapets and railings, external facades and roof elements, conservatories, and carports. Upon request, our products can also be designed to be used as a privacy screen, or with weather- or noiseproofing features. We manufacture modules using both glass-glass composite and glass-film techniques, up to a size of 3,70 x 2,50 m and with a glass thickness of up to 2x 12 mm – with a level of quality that can only be “Made in Germany“.
