Façade Engineering

Ircon Ltd. provides façade engineering solutions for projects where architectural requirements must be combined with structural, technical and construction considerations. The company’s experience includes the engineering of external façade elements and technically demanding façade systems.

Ircon Ltd.'s façade engineering began in 1998, through its partnership with Trimo, the Slovenian producer of high-quality façade panels. Project after project since then, Trimo's panels and Ircon Ltd.'s exact engineering have built the company's skill in façades: designing, supplying and installing them on prestigious buildings, where the accuracy of the work is what the exterior is judged by.

More than the surface

A façade is the part of a building everyone sees, and the part most exposed to the weather. Behind the visible panels is a substructure that carries wind, snow and the panels' own weight back to the frame of the building. At every joint, corner and opening, details keep water out and heat in, and let the materials move with temperature without damage. Façade engineering is the design of all of this, so that the exterior looks the way the architect intended and keeps performing for decades.

Panels, envelope and appearance

Much of Ircon Ltd.'s façade work concerns the engineering of façade panels and the external envelope of large buildings. For the Lidl logistics centre near Kabile, Yambol, a facility of more than 50,000 square metres, the work combined the functional requirements of the building with its architectural appearance. For the IKEA store in Sofia, it focused on the external façade panels themselves, where engineering accuracy and careful execution decide whether the exterior of a recognisable international brand is consistent and durable.

Factory buildings for Teva Bulgaria, Sting Pharma Solutions and Metics show the same work in an industrial setting, where the envelope must suit the requirements of the production inside.

From design to installation

The partnership with Trimo gives this work a consistent foundation: high-quality panels, and engineering that carries them from design through supply to installation. On a façade, precision is visible. Every line, joint and junction shows whether the work was done right.
