Bezpieczeństwo pożarowe to istotna kwestia współczesnego budownictwa. Szczególne wymogi w tym zakresie muszą spełniać budynki użyteczności publicznej, produkcyjne, magazynowe czy zamieszkania zbiorowego. Ochrona przeciwpożarowa nie powinna ograniczać się jedynie do zapewnienia w budynku dróg ewakuacyjnych czy przeciwpożarowego systemu zraszania. Dobór ognioodpornych materiałów już na etapie projektu budynku pozwoli odpowiednio zabezpieczyć inwestycję przed skutkami pojawienia się ognia.

A truly unique solution, panoramic sliding patio doors bring both innovation and everyday benefits to the home. They not only enhance the look of a home with their elegant design but also offer exceptional functionality and user comfort. In this article, we outline nine key advantages of these modern doors, features that can transform any terrace into a welcoming space for relaxation and social gatherings.

The past few years have made it strikingly clear how strongly our surroundings affect our mental health. Research leaves no doubt. City dwellers are 20% more likely to suffer from depression and face a 21% higher risk of developing generalised anxiety disorders. The figures for psychosis are even more alarming: it is 77% more common among urban residents than among those in rural areas.

The pergola is an architectural form that dates back to ancient Egypt, around 1500 BC. Despite its ancient origins, it fits seamlessly into the demands of modern architecture. The key is to choose a design that complements the building’s style.

The pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the energy crisis – these are just some of the reasons why people today have a shaky sense of security. In view of the unpredictable changes we face, what we really need is stability in the basic needs sector. According to WHO, we spend an average of 90% of our lives in enclosed spaces, so achieving high functionality for our buildings is a priority. How can we achieve this goal? Through adaptive architecture.

The production technologies of today make it possible to use glass in a sustainable manner. This means that its production and use in construction have no negative impact on the environment. Moreover, glass facades, interior systems and fire protection systems bring benefits for property developers and the end users of the buildings, because they improve the thermal and sound insulation as well as increase the safety of its users. What should you know about the use of glass in today’s construction industry?

Designing a simple shape for a building, minimising the use of ornaments and observing the principles of symmetry – these are just some of the features of minimalist architecture that is gaining popularity in the global construction market. However, minimalism is not only about simplifying the design of the building, but also about reducing its energy consumption. Both objectives can be met by using the right combination of solutions and materials.

The contemporary construction landscape, increasingly oriented towards energy efficiency and sustainability, demands innovative design solutions. These solutions must deliver not only superior technical and insulating properties but also the flexibility to shape structural models that fully meet the project’s needs and style. Aluminium windows and doors are among those special task solutions that cater to even the most demanding of projects.

Modern production technologies have enabled the use of aluminum and glass in sustainable ways. This means that their production and application in construction do not carry negative environmental consequences. Simultaneously, glass and aluminum facades, interior systems, and fire protection solutions offer significant benefits to investors and end-users by enhancing thermal and acoustic insulation while improving user safety. What should one know about their application in contemporary construction?

Modern architecture demonstrates that the beauty of a building can blend seamlessly with functionality. Moreover, such structures can also be remarkably eco-friendly. This is not solely due to energy-efficient technologies but increasingly because of the sustainable use and recycling of construction materials.

Sun protection in building design goes beyond ensuring comfort – it plays a vital role in energy efficiency. By incorporating innovative solutions, it's possible to significantly reduce the energy required for cooling buildings during the summer months. Solutions like external and internal blinds, facade shutters, and windows and doors with enhanced thermal insulation systems stand out as effective tools to achieve this goal.

Sustainable activities in the construction industry stem not only from existing legal regulations but primarily from the growing environmental consciousness of architects, investors and users. One such action involves optimising the use of solar energy as a renewable source, along with the use of various glazing products in buildings. High-quality aluminium windows ensure an appealing building, robust window systems with excellent insulation.

The contemporary home is expected to be environmentally friendly, budget-conscious, and equipped with all modern comforts. Energy efficiency is now the paramount feature demanded by both investors and final users in modern constructions. But what trends are leading the way?

Climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges of our time, largely driven by excessive carbon dioxide emissions. This underscores the importance of integrating eco-friendly solutions in modern construction. Sustainable building, which leverages renewable energy and reduces CO2 emissions, addresses the needs of both our environment and future generations.

Although terraces are not officially included in the usable floor area of a building, they are an integral part not only of private homes but also of hotels, eating places and an increasing number of office buildings. Thanks to modern architectural solutions and building systems, a terrace may not only be decorative, but also practical – it can provide convenient use regardless of the weather.
