Denver may not be the first city that comes to mind when you think of seismic activity, but movement is a fact of life in every building envelope. From thermal expansion to wind drift and seismic shifts, these forces can compromise structural integrity if not properly managed. For the Legacy Building at the National Western Center, this reality shaped the design process from day one.
Ensuring effective moisture management in your building project is crucial, especially when it comes to expansion joints. Moisture infiltration poses a significant threat to the structural integrity of a building, making it imperative to implement proper drainage solutions. To guide you through this process, here are five key considerations you should keep in mind:
One of the requirements for large, commercial buildings is the ability to move without damage.
While it may seem like a small detail in the grand scheme of construction, picking the right expansion joint covers will help ensure the building’s structural integrity.
Ceiling expansion joints are essential in building design, especially when working with large or multi-structure buildings.
You don’t really see them, but concrete floor expansion joints are a big deal in commercial buildings. They’re one of those hidden things that keep the place solid and safe. Picking the right ones can make a huge difference in how long your floor lasts.
The building products industry is on the cusp of significant transformation, driven by technological advancements, sustainability demands, and evolving construction practices.
