Italian Architecture Comes to Russia
Due to manufacture innovations and investments of recent years, nowadays the company produces hightech aluminum METRA system.
The well-known Italian company has opened its representative office in Moscow and in April 2011 took an active part in the Mosbuild Exhibition. There were held business meetings and negotiations with leading design offices and aluminum recycling companies on the introduction of new systems of translucent structures with a high durability and ease of installation at the same time. The stand visitors evinced great interest to a series of aluminum-wooden structures and sliding systems height of more than 3 meters.
The defining factor for choosing METRA products is their obvious quality and durability of structures. For the most demanding customers the company offers windows and doors of aluminum profiles with wooden overlays of various types on the inside. It is also widely popular now panoramic glazing with sliding casement doors, which greatly increases the light space of the house. At this exhibition was submitted by a really great choice for facade glazing systems: post-girder, structural and semi-structured, spider systems and modular facades.
POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80
METRA addresses the more and more frequent request to construct large size facades rapidly with the POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80. In the case of complex designs or buildings with large glass surfaces, the POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80 System allows prefabricated cell type of facades to be constructed with impressive dimensions and significant weight. Processing the cells, an operation that is performed directly in the factory, allows the installation time to be reduced drastically, eliminating the use of scaffolding and with a guarantee of achieving a significant qualitative standard.
POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80 enables solutions to be designed with fixed or openable modules, transparent glass or opaque, in the version with or without thermal cut profiles. The openings can be protruded, parallel or of the ‘smoke out’ type. The POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80 System has been designed carefully in relation to the materials, opening mechanisms and possible configurations. The results achieved enable cells to be constructed with dimensions of up to 3000 x 3500 mm that withstand high wind pressures and are able to support a weight of up to 700 kg.
POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80 also includes all the accessories necessary for the handling and installation of the cells in the construction site. Special attention has also been dedicated to heat transmission through the cells, with the design of each aluminium node to optimize the thermal transmittance values UF. The different types of POLIEDRA SKY FAST 80 comply with the provisions of the UNI EN 13380 standard and comply with ETAG 002 in the case of the facades with structurally bonded glass.
