Grid shell structures

Why is it so unique

At Space Frame Structures we develop and erect all of our free-form aluminium grid shells using only bolted assemblies which allows us to accurately and quickly build surfaces of any shape and scale for both unique and standard design solutions

Single layer grid shell

Self-supporting grid shell made of pin connected profiles and nodes

Made from high tensile aluminium alloys

Bolted connection between all system elements allow high manufacturing and installation speed. No welding work required during the installation

Gasket fixation with of EPDM sealant integrated into profile

Gasket fixation with of EPDM sealant integrated into profile

Gasket and fast & easy installation

2 or 3 level EPDM seal gasket for condensate drainage

Gasket fixation integrated into aluminium profile - certified with Schüco and Raico solutions

Glass units installed directly on the grid structure - hidden fastening of a “structural” double-glazed window

Advantages of using high-strength aluminium over steel

Fast and easy mounting

High tensile aluminium alloy (EN AW-6082 and EN AW-6063)

High anti-corrosion properties of the material

Minimum load on the supporting frame of the building (low dead weight of the structures)

Architectural and aesthetic characteristics

Anodizing or polymer powder coating according to RAL

Star-shaped connection: the node element is a continuation of the rod elements

No gaps at the junctions of elements, a tighter fit of EPDM seals

Top surface additional processing to avoid EPDM gasket deflection (comprehensive fixation);

Applications

Maximum design freedom with a range of different application options. with our simple plug-and-play modular system without complex welded joints and complex installation process

Depending on the desired surface geometry, square, polygonal or triangular module units can be used to create individual shapes on the building envelope, as well as skylights, bridges etc

Domes and sky lights

Have high load-bearing capacity and are easy to install

Any form and shape, e.g sphere, free forms, arched structures

Maximum span for single-layer is 60m and 120m for double-layer

Long-span systems

Unique long-span structures with spans from 36m to over than 100m

Reduced weight of structures makes for maximum use of the load-bearing qualities of the material and thereby obtain light and economical surface

Protection from progressive collapse, poor-quality manufacturing of foundations or installation of load-bearing structures, as well as the effects of seismic and dynamic loads
