Building envelope

The building envelope determines energy efficiency, protection, architectural quality and occupant comfort. Whether for new builds or renovations, solutions perform best when façade, insulation and glazing are coordinated as integrated system solutions and embedded in the building’s climate concept.

 

The earlier these aspects are considered, the better sustainability, performance and profitability can be combined.

Logo Isover

 

Isover supports the building envelope with building-physics-safe insulation and system solutions – in new buildings as well as in renovations. Thanks to the coordinated combination of insulation, air and vapour tightness, Isover ensures reliable heat and moisture protection and minimises structural risks over the entire life cycle. Especially in timber construction, for example for pitched and pitched roofs, solutions from airtight levels to robust above-rafter insulation enable energy-efficient, durable constructions and ensure the long-term value of the building.

Logo Rigips

 

Plasterboard complements the building envelope wherever lightweight construction and system integration are required – e.g. for additions, extensions and hybrid construction methods in building construction. Systemically planned lightweight construction solutions support planning, certification, execution and logistics from a single source and enable safe integration into existing load-bearing and façade systems.High degree of prefabrication, low weight and tested systems ensure efficient construction site processes and cost-effective solutions – even for complex projects in new buildings and existing buildings.

Logo Rigips

Rigips offers high-performance drywall construction and lightweight construction systems for sophisticated interior fittings in new buildings and existing buildings. The solutions enable flexible room structures for walls, ceilings and floors and can be safely adapted to different usage and design requirements. Thanks to systemically tested constructions, high requirements for fire and sound insulation, moisture resistance and load-bearing capacity are reliably met – even for complex floor plans and subsequent changes of use.

SageGlass Logo

 

SageGlass brings dynamic sun protection directly into the glass – for daylight, comfort and lower heat loads. The tinting is controlled according to demand and integrated into the air conditioning concept, which makes external shading superfluous. This supports energy-efficient buildings and contributes to the reduction of cooling and operating costs. Ideal for sophisticated new construction and renovation projects with a high proportion of glass.

Swisspacer is a central system component in insulating glazing and gives windows and facades their insulating effect down to the last detailThe "warm edge" keeps the temperatures at the edge of the glass stable, reduces heat loss and prevents condensation and mould formation – for more living comfort and healthy interiors. Even with slender glass structures, reliable building physics values are retained. In this way, Swisspacer supports high-quality windows and façade solutions with long-term energy efficiency in new buildings as well as in existing buildings.

Saint-Gobain Logo

As the world's leading supplier of float glass, we meet the highest aesthetic requirements and ensure that heat input is reduced and that the heating and air conditioning system functions efficiently. We can also advise you on the subject of glass in Switzerland. Enable special sizes for facades with thermal and aesthetic demands. 

Vetrotech Logo

Vetrotech complements building envelopes with fire protection and high-security glazing, combining them with transparency and design. In the event of a fire, the systems protect against flames, smoke and heat radiation and keep escape routes usable. In addition, there are solutions against burglary, shelling or explosion. This minimizes risks and strengthens the intrinsic value of sensitive buildings and protects their contents.

Weber façade systems support the planning and implementation of building envelopes that combine functionality, cost-effectiveness and architectural expression. As the visible face of the building, the façade shapes its design, identity and performance – from new construction to renovation.Tested system structures enable plastered facades as well as cladding such as ceramics or natural stone with clear, comprehensible technical performance. In this way, facades make a measurable contribution to energy efficiency and support climate targets and CO₂‑ targets overthe entire period of use.
