[vc_section][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0″][vc_column_text]Compared to other European countries, Germany is an industrial nation. According to the Federal Statistical Office, the manufacturing industry contributed close to a quarter of the gross value added in Germany in 2017. The four strongest industrial sectors in Germany are automotive, mechanical engineering, chemicals and electrical engineering.
\nTheir size and hall-like construction characterise buildings for the industry. As a rule, the design follows functional aspects. However, there are historical and contemporary examples that show that things can be done differently.
\nEarly industrial buildings were proud testimonies to the self-confidence of companies. At the beginning of the last century, industrial buildings were drivers of architectural and structural innovations. For example, the Fagus-Werke in Alfeld an der Leine by Walter Gropius with one of the first curtain facades or the buildings of the Zeche Zollverein in Essen by Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer, which are considered masterpieces of the New Objectivity and are now part of the World Cultural Heritage.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text]For some years now, the idea of representative industrial architecture has been experiencing a renaissance. Company headquarters should strengthen the brand and transport the values of the company. This increasingly includes aspects of environmental protection. In parts, a win-win situation, as low energy consumption also has a positive effect on operating costs.<\/p>\n

Modern workplace: daylight and transparency<\/h2>\n

As primarily functional buildings, industrial buildings and assembly halls support the processes that take place inside. Efficiency is the guiding principle. Today, the focus has broadened to include the well-being of employees. Good conditions at the workplace are, therefore, the goal.
\nThe architecture supports efficient work processes through an appropriate internal organisation of the buildings. But the fa\u00e7ade also impacts daylight, and the link to the outside create a productive atmosphere. At the same time, large window areas and glass fa\u00e7ades convey transparency – a significant corporate value on which customer trust is based.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″][vc_single_image image=”5646″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image image=”5634″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\n

Window systems and mullion-transom fa\u00e7ades for industrial halls<\/h2>\n

The experienced metal construction company Baier offers two options for a transparent and light-flooded hall architecture:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Aluminium window systems: Whether as glazing in the lower fa\u00e7ade area or as window strips in multi-storey industrial buildings – window systems give the fa\u00e7ade an individual “face”. Baier uses a wide range of profile variants for its aluminium windows and can thus react to any structural requirement. If desired, movable window sashes or doors can be integrated. The coating in any RAL colour also gives freedom of design. Low-maintenance materials and high-quality hardware technology guarantee a long and low-cost service life.<\/li>\n
  2. Mullion-transom fa\u00e7ades: Since the building cladding of large hall buildings does not have a supporting function, it can easily be opened up over a large area with a mullion-transom construction. With narrow elevations, the profile system from Baier offers an elegant appearance that blends well into a well-thought-out fa\u00e7ade design. Installation is also possible at high heights, on curved fa\u00e7ade surfaces and roof surfaces. The combination with triple glazing ensures the best thermal insulation values.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And what about the areas deep in the assembly hall, far away from the glazing? There, roof domes from Baier provide natural lighting.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text]\n

    Innovative fa\u00e7ade: shading and cladding<\/h2>\n

    However, daylight is not always unproblematic. For example, the incoming sun can dazzle or heat the area behind the glazing. Both of these effects hinder work. However, it is not necessary to forego the positive properties of daylight because of this. Architectural sun protection in the form of fa\u00e7ade cladding provides ideal protection against glare and heating, as long as it is adapted to the building and the location.
    \nHowever, customised fa\u00e7ade cladding also has another effect: it enables creative fa\u00e7ade design, for example, in accordance with the corporate design.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″][vc_single_image image=”4575″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_single_image image=”4396″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\u00a9 microsonic\u00a0 \u00a0 Photographer: Roland Borgmann[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\n

    Fa\u00e7ade cladding – cool shade inside, brilliant appearance outside<\/h3>\n

    As an expert for movable and rigid sun protection in front of the fa\u00e7ade, Baier is the right partner for implementing high-quality fa\u00e7ade designs with object-specific cladding.
    \nOf particular interest for industrial buildings: a rigid system with fixed or movable slats. Baier develops and implements the construction and design according to the architectural specifications. Both the orientation of the slats – horizontal or vertical – and the cross-section and the colour coating can be freely selected.
    \nAn automatic control system with high-quality drive technology from Baier allows the slat angle to be continuously adjusted to the sun’s position. This creates a dynamic fa\u00e7ade and a glare-free working environment.
    \nAnother advantage: the passive solar energy can be used ideally through individual programming. In summer, the rooms remain cool; in winter, the sun’s rays are a free heat source. This protects the environment and operating expenses.
    \nBut it does not necessarily have to be shading. Individual fa\u00e7ade cladding can bring large, windowless fa\u00e7ade areas to life and integrate them into the surrounding development.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text]\n
