SIMPLEX Technologies has been contracted to deliver our lamella solution for the Phase 2 building of Preses Nama Kvartāls. The white vertical lamellas will form a key part of the building's architectural identity, with installation completing this fall.

SFS continuous walling, also called oversail SFS, is one of two ways to build a non-load-bearing external wall using a steel frame system. Where infill SFS is fixed between floor slabs, continuous walling runs in front of them. The SFS frame is built on the outside face of the primary structure, fixed back to it at calculated centres with engineered cleats, and the full building envelope (insulation, air barrier, and cladding) is applied continuously across the face of the bu

SFS, or Steel Frame System, is a widely used method for building non-load-bearing external walls in commercial and multi-storey residential construction across Scandinavia and Western Europe. Cold-formed light gauge steel studs are fixed between floor slabs, insulation is placed between and over the studs, an air barrier membrane is applied to the external face, and a cladding subframe carries the external cladding panels. The result is a thin, lightweight, dry-construction w

Precast concrete walls, reinforced concrete panels manufactured off-site and installed as the finished building envelope, are one of the most established solutions in commercial construction. They are fast to install, simple to procure, and come from a single manufacturer. For certain project types, they are close to the optimal solution. But they come with a set of limitations that are rarely discussed openly at the specification stage, and those limitations become expensive

Infill walls are one of the most fundamental decisions in the external envelope of any steel or concrete frame building. The wall panel built between the floors of the structural frame determines thermal performance, programme duration, usable floor area, and coordination complexity across the entire project. Yet in practice, the choice of infill wall system is often made by default. And the default choice frequently costs developers floor area, costs contractors programme ti

Fibre cement facade panels are one of the most widely specified cladding materials in commercial and residential construction across the Baltics, Scandinavia, and Northern Europe. Brands like Swisspearl, Equitone, and James Hardie are common on project specifications. They are chosen for their durability, weather resistance, low maintenance, and clean architectural finish. But one question comes up consistently at design and tender stage: how do you fix fibre cement facade pa
