High Rise Facades Hardware Designs And Failure Analysis
HIGH RISE FACADES HARDWARE DESIGNS-FAILURE ANALYSIS
Sharing our expertise from design to implementation highlighted with practical issues and challenges learned from experiences.
Facade Hardware is generally restricted to a handful of international brands which have good track records. However premium brands do not guarantee their designs for local challenges. Just relying on brand value alone may not be adequate to take care of design safety. We have witnessed several failures which have used premium branded hardware.
Unfortunately there is no one- stop solution for façade integrated operable, for example a brand who makes handle and locks does not necessarily have robust reliable stay arms. Therefore just relying on a supplier team, with their commercial interest to sell their own products may not be the right solution.
Due to these challenging requirements, pick and choose approach may work better with proper integration and assembly which may yield best of everything. However these require deeper involvement of façade designers, good experiences, deep integration techniques, co-ordinations, etc,.
