How do you install windows? When you create a window opening in a wall, it is important to consider the weather resistant barrier (WRB) that will protect the window from the elements. There are two methods for installing windows: 1. The barrier method: This involves using a weather resistant barrier around the window opening to prevent water penetration. 2. The water management installation/system: This method includes installing head flashing at the top and both sides of the windows, as well as a waterproof sill pan with a slope underneath. These components allow any water that enters the window to drain down and away. Most American made windows have flanges that aid in the structural installation of the window.

RHEINZINK ROOF DRAINAGE – DO YOU KNOW THE BENEFITS? A gutter can be subjected to strain almost every day. In the cold winter it could be snow that lingers, and for the rest of year it can be substantial rainfall. There can be strong winds, blowing leaves and branches into the gutter. In summer, persistent heat that creates challenges. To deal with these situations, we focus on good quality in relation to both the development and production of our gutters, and we test them thoroughly in order to ensure first-class parts. Advantages of RHEINZINK roof drainage system: • Easy to customize all building types • Highly durable solution in all environments • Best zinc quality – guaranteed • Large accessory range • Many surface options #rheinzink #thinkforthefuture #architecture #architects See more: http://ow.ly/gNQ550Kbu2f

Retaining Walls in Landscape Design Retaining walls are not just functional structures. One of the primary uses of retaining walls is to manage and control soil erosion. They help stabilize slopes and prevent soil from shifting or washing away during heavy rains. By strategically placing retaining walls in landscapes, we can create terraced gardens, allowing for better water drainage and soil retention. #LandscapeDesign #RetainingWalls #landscaping #landscapearchitecture #TerracedGardens #GreenInfrastructure #hardscape #Technical #construction

In our international practice, we endeavor to create designs that are adaptable to diverse regions worldwide. In this instance, situated in the rural area of #Barrosinha, 30 km south of #Lisbon, #Portugal, we have crafted a masterplan spanning 2,000 hectares. The intervention area lies adjacent to the Sado River, with proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. A meticulous understanding of the #local #environment was crucial, encompassing diverse #landscape #typologies such as #rice #fields, #vineyards, #forests, and the village of Barrosinha. These #researches incorporate comprehensive #analyses, including assessments of #waterway connections, #flood risks, #erosion, and fire hazards, shaping a #resilient and seasonally adaptive #landscape. The master plan revolves around three main themes: #farms, #nature activities, and #relaxation. To ensure efficient connectivity, a vast network of #footpaths links key areas, providing future #residents with reliable #access and #convenience. Furthermore, new #amenities, emphasizing the utilization of #local materials, are thoughtfully integrated into the existing landscape and elements, enriching the overall composition of this unique area and respecting residents' sense of belonging and identity.

The slimline Korniche roof lantern provides a traditional timber look with all the advantages of a thermally broken aluminium construction. Precision engineering, optimisation and modern manufacturing techniques have created a beautifully proportioned, thermally efficient, strong and secure lantern solution for your home. Thermal efficiency of our roof has been guaranteed by the elimination of cold bridging, this is achieved by the total isolation of the external aluminium profiles from the internal ones. When combined with high performance glazing, the Korniche’s ability to reduce heat transfer is in a class of its own. For a warmer solution for your next building extension project choose Korniche. #consult #design #build #excellence #perfection #Windows #doors #conservatories #orangeries #Homeimprovements #electrical #building #clactonconservatories #clactonorangeries #clactonwindows #clactondoubleglazing #propertyvalue #energyefficiency #extensions #upgrades #doubleglazing #creativeview #glazing #replacementwindows #replacementdoors https://lnkd.in/dA6Sa-b

Sustainability has been a priority in the design of the Kalocsa-Paks new Danube Bridge, and we have paid attention to more than one thing: 💚 Extradosed bridges occupy a special place among bridge structures, as they offer a unique combination of aesthetic appeal, structural efficiency and sustainability. 💚A major advantage of this type of bridge is that it achieves longer spans with reduced material use compared to conventional bridges. 💚Carefully selected construction materials have significantly reduced the dead weight, thus reducing the amount of materials needed for the auxiliary structures and the amount of material needed for the substructures (foundations, ascending walls, structural beams). For the floodplain bridges, we have used a larger span, so we have also been able to reduce the number of abutments, which is of particular importance: the Natura 2000 sites concerned have been less impacted. #sustainability #bridge design

2023 Project Highlight - Lynn Wyatt Square – Houston, TX Located within the two-acre footprint of the former Jones Plaza, Lynn Wyatt Square is the newest addition to the Theater District. The former site served primarily as underground parking for the nearby institutions while the concrete plaza was largely devoid of greenery or public use. RIOS Landscape Architecture was brought in to help reimagine the large downtown space in a way that re-engaged the community by providing intimate outdoor performance spaces in one interconnected experience. The entire project from switchback sidewalks to parking access, to performance stages is protected with Monolithic Membrane 6125. American Hydrotech’s Garden Roof Assembly was also the perfect solution to beautify the many gathering spaces by reintroducing trees, bushes, flower beds, which in turn bring birds, insects, and bees to further increase the biodiversity. This two-acre green space helps manage stormwater runoff, improve air quality, and significantly combats the urban heat island effect by providing a cooler space for the people of Houston to gather on those hot and humid days.
