Masonry Movement Joints
Join us to examine the movement characteristics of different masonry materials. Learn how to accommodate or restrain this movement with control, isolation, or expansion joints. We’ll provide common placement of these joints to prevent buildings from cracking and explore options to make movement joints more aesthetically pleasing.
Maximizing Envelope Performance with IMP-Integrated Components
Maximizing Envelope Performance with IMP-Integrated Components explores an advanced insulated metal composite panel building envelope system, components that have been engineered to integrate with the system – including windows, sunshades, accent fins and louvers – and how the IMP system and integrated components combine to create a high-performance building envelope.
Battling the Perfect Storm: Designing Roofs to Withstand Nature’s Worst
