Mountain Refuge
In the heart of the Apuseni Mountains, an ambitious project took shape: the construction of a modern mountain refuge for all nature enthusiasts. A place of safety and peace, created to protect those who explore the beauty of the mountains, regardless of the weather. The architect responsible for the design of this project is Anca Loghin. While the mountain environment captivates with its spectacular landscapes, it can also expose visitors to extreme weather conditions. Therefore, building a refuge there means finding the perfect balance between robustness, simplicity, protection, and connection with nature. The aim was to create a bright, durable, and well-insulated space capable of withstanding the test of time and climate.

RESISTA PIR Insulation
The power of PIR insulation
Elevate RESISTA is a high-performance polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation board laminated on both sides to a gastight multi-layered aluminum-kraft facer (AK) or mineral coated glass fiber facer (MG). It can be installed over wooden, concrete, and metal roof decks, both on new-build and refurbishment projects, regardless of the roof slope (boards are available flat and tapered). RESISTA insulation boards are compatible with a wide variety of waterproofing membranes and adhesives and are suitable for use on mechanically fastened, fully adhered, and ballasted roofing systems.
Elevate RESISTA insulation boards provide outstanding and durable thermal resistance, dimensional stability, and compressive strength, w... More

ISOGARD™ HD
Elevate’s ISOGARD HD cover board is a 12.7 mm thick, high-density, closed-cell polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core laminated on both sides to a mineral-coated fiberglass facer.
When foot traffic on the roof is frequent, mineral wool insulation runs the risk of being crushed, or in the case of plastic foam insulation, the adhesion of the facer to the foam can be affected. ISOGARD HD spreads the load and improves the protection of the insulation boards underneath. It combines impact resistance, ease of installation, and is used as a recovery board over the existing roofing system, it is an excellent choice for refurbishment projects.
Why choose ISOGARD HD?
Elevate’s ISOGARD HD has the highest thermal performance of any 12... More

Product • By AGC Glass Europe • Classico - Ambachtelijk
Classico - Ambachtelijk
Until 1960, window glass was made by drawing and, up to 1920, even hand-blown. The tiny distortions and irregularities caused by these processes create the special light and reflection effects characteristic of old and historic buildings. AGC’s Classico range combines atmospheric charm with present-day insulation and safety requirements.
How it works
Due to the manufacturing processes used in the past, the original glazing in monuments and historic buildings, although appealing, no longer meets our current standards of comfort. AGC’s Classico comes in various thicknesses which both preserve an authentic atmosphere and guarantee high insulation values. The Classico range includes a wide variety of coatings and uses various rare gases to... More

Product • By Reynaers Aluminium • ConceptWall 65-EF - CW 65-EF
ConceptWall 65-EF - CW 65-EF
CW 65-ElementFaçade enables unitised façades to be completely preassembled in the workshop. This results in a high execution speed on site. Productivity here however embraces architectural aesthetic requirements as the CW 65-EF works with slender profiles of only 65 mm. The slender profile is very strong and can be used for maximum
widths of 1600 mm and heights up to 3700 mm. The façade system is thus very well suited for high-rise constructions. Profiles can easily be adapted to fit project depending requirements.
CW 65-EF provides increased insulation with an Uf value of up to 2.6 W/m²K. The Opening elements such as a top hung and parallel opening window can also be integrated into the system. CW 65-EF is available in Structural G... More
