India is growing vertically upwards, specifically in metro cities. Now, we all as colleagues in the construction industry are concerned about the MEP services, and the main structure (whether it be steel, concrete, or composite) – but believe me, only an iota of people is thinking of the façade during the planning stage and this is really ALARMING to me.A façade is the first barrier that has to perform for all the weather cycles, leakages (air & water), withstand the dead load, wind load (positive & negative), wind pressures during its entire life cycle, also stand up to the acoustical and thermal performance and all the above-incorporated within the architectural intent and aesthetics.This system has been designed together by engineers and architects with a main objective of getting the most possible transparency and thus the clearest vision which is normally hindered by using the various constructing elements. The spider system offers the most practical solutions to glass assembly.Expanded metal is a form of metal stock made by shearing a metal plate in a press, so that the metal stretches, leaving diamond-shaped voids surrounded by interlinked bars of the metal. The most common method of manufacture is to simultaneously slit and stretch the material with one motion. Expanded metal is often used for architectural details and finds use in security applications such as in the walls of a sensitive compartmented information facility because of its heavier grades, it is difficult to breach without heavy cutting equipment or explosives. The material used is recyclable and the color is not just a simple coating but is designed to offer special aesthetic effects making any project more valuable.
