Composite engineering for Architecture

Our knowledge and expertise allow such structures to move from Architectural design, through planning approval and into production faster and more efficiently. In addition, Solico frequently supports the end-user by providing independent supervision and quality assurance of production facilities.

Our specialisation is composite engineering. We believe composites can make a difference in the Architectural world, because of their many advantages:

• Composites are lightweight and extremely strong. Therefore:
  - Installation is faster and easier, using less crane capacity
  - The structures impose less load on the foundations of the building
• The coefficient of thermal expansion of facades can be influenced by amending fibre types and orientation, matching, for example, their substructure.
• Composites provide unique appearances, such as matt and high gloss painted metallic paints, wrapped surfaces and fire-proof painted surfaces.
• The cycle time of series-produced components is commonly lower than traditional materials, creating scheduling benefits.
• Composites are virtually maintenance-free, and corrosion-resistant;

In summary, composites can turn every complex design into reality. Check all the benefits of composites.
