A future for existing buildings

The preservation and retrofitting of existing buildings has become one of the most important tasks of the construction industry, not least because of the growing demand for sustainability. fischer’s market launches with carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) and carbon fibre fabrics (CF) allow the structural strengthening of infrastructure constructions and buildings. Additional fischer fixing systems give existing structures an extended service life through concrete repair mortars, post-installed rebar connections, concrete overlay and anchoring caps and edge beams to bridges.

Concealed fastenings for a crystal geode, ‘Solitaire mall’ the Jewel of Riyadh

A new architectural highlight was developed in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the Solitaire Mall. Inspired by the concept of a geode, a secondary formation within volcanic rocks, the new build combines shopping, leisure, dining and business facilities in a versatile and dynamic space. The angular facade of the luxury brand mall features a particularly sophisticated design with inclines facing in different directions. Its building envelope was clad in porcelain and ceramic facade panels over 16,000 m², which are securely and firmly anchored by an all-in-one fischer solution for the rear-ventilated curtain wall facade.

Fastening trends in roofing and timber

Wood is a popular choice of building material, including for multi-storey buildings. And no wonder, as this renewable resource is climate neutral and offers excellent physical properties, strength combined with low weight, a high degree of prefabrication, fast processing, excellent insulating properties, a healthy indoor climate and a unique look. fischer fixing innovations allow wood to be processed in all its shapes and sizes, utilising the material to the fullest extent. In addition to this, fischer offers solar systems for various fixing situations when installing solar systems on roofs.
