Energy-saving construction has become enormously important in recent years. As well as other measures, the focus is primarily on thermal insulation of the house, facade, masonry and roofs, windows and floor slabs. The building envelope in particular offers enormous potential for savings in both new construction and renovation.

For the Christmas period and the turn of the year, we will take time for family and friends from December 21, 2022 up to January 8, 2023 and take a break to then start our day-to-day work again in "old freshness" – true to the motto "Focus on the good!"

A standing seam facade for North Hertfordshire College's state-of-the-art sports facility: the individual profile width of the metal facade cladding gives the building a unique design and makes the sports hall shine in new splendor!

The planning of day care centres and educational institutions presents complex challenges for planners and architects. In addition to the design of play areas and the facade, the roof of the building is also becoming increasingly important. Economic efficiency and durability as a basic requirement can hardly be separated from sustainable solutions such as photovoltaic elements or green roofs.

White-golden facade for the new “Emser Thermenhotel” in Germany thanks to an individual facade design with BEMO: A new 4-star thermal spa hotel was built on the banks of the Lahn in the immediate vicinity of the “Emser Therme”. The building has 84 double rooms, seminar rooms, a restaurant and a rooftop bar. In cooperation with the company Wittenauer, which provided the planning for the façade, the hotel was covered with around 1,500 sqm of BEMO-BOND composite façade panels in the colour Pure White. The clean facade image is loosened up by facade projections, which have received a golden BEMO-UNIKO cladding as a contrast.

A public place for encounters, learning, and dialogue – the pharmaceutical company Novartis in Basel is dedicated to these goals with the Novartis Pavilion. The building envelope with an area of around 2,500 sqm and thus also the basis for the media facade were realised with curved BEMO standing seam sheets. An LED mesh was then clamped onto these without penetration, so that the zero-energy media facade simultaneously generates electricity as a light source.

Please note that we will be closed from August 8th, 2022 up to and including August 21st, 2022. Urgent deliveries can still be carried out after consultation and coordination with a limited staff. You can reach our office with a core team!

Already in 2018, BEMO installed the standing seam roof on the wooden construction of the aircraft manufacturer Pilatus in Stans, Switzerland, which is located directly next to the A2 motorway. The hall has a size of almost two soccer fields and enabled the installation of 4.996 solar modules. The roof from BEMO created the precondition for the solar system. In rich dark green, the standing seam roof and part of the facade fit in perfectly with the surroundings. As a particularly robust and durable roof, it now forms the basis for one of the largest solar power plants in Central Switzerland. With the support of BEMO, the aircraft manufacturer is taking a big step forward towards a climate-neutral aircraft production.

India – a country with one of the most dynamic markets in the world! BEMO faces this challenge together with the experienced company Aditya Profiles Pvt. Ltd. from Pune in western India.

New life is moving into the area of the former weaving mill A. Wurster & Cie. on the federal road B10 in Eislingen. The colour-weaving mill in the Filstal should not only be the new "place to be" in a business context, but also offer private citizens a place to linger as well as for weddings, birthdays, and other occasions. Between the company building, the hotel and the boiler house, a new fitness studio combines training and spa in a unique location. BEMO supplied the modern façade made of 0.75 mm Steel in anthracite grey for the building. This façade design creates a contrast to the red brick façades while the former industrial character of the site is conveyed.

There are always extraordinary projects for BEMO - this time in Vienna. In the capital of Austria, which has twice been declared as the most liveable city, a new building complex is being built with apartments tailored to different living needs - featuring perforated metal balcony railings from BEMO. For the residential construction project Eisring South, BEMO supplied approx. 2,335m² of balcony railings made of rectangular perforated special edge profiles and BEMO perforated sheets as balcony cladding for around 550 apartments. The choice fell on edge profiles and perforated sheets for good reasons.

Google is in the final phases of building two new campuses in Mountain View, CA. One at Charleston East (in the midst of their current HQ campus) and the second on NASA’s Moffett Field a couple of blocks away. Unlike the existing buildings it now occupies, these new multi-building complexes are visually striking, skyline changing and an engineering challenge on almost every level. The new Google buildings join other notable mega-companies in the area that are not only transforming technology and communications but also building one-of- a-kind architectural landmarks. The construction of the Google Mountain View buildings is supported by BEMO aluminium standing seam roof panels.

The 70,000 m² production plant of the new Rimac Campus will have a BEMO profile cladding as a mirror facade. The Hypercar manufacturer Rimac is building a new campus for the development and production of electric cars and e-bikes in Sveta Nedelja, just a few kilometres from the centre of Zagreb. The vision: A place where the most exciting and powerful electric sports cars in the world are developed and which also shows this to the outside world. A place that reflects the Rimac spirit through the BEMO facade system.

The renowned Kronberg Academy in the Taunus will be expanded to include the Casals Forum. BEMO is responsible for putting the crown on the chamber music hall: With a standing seam covering as the basis for the shingle roof, which turns the art inside out. The new chamber music hall will have an extraordinary and spectacular roof system with an overlying roof cladding, which – with its imposing appearance – prepares the guests for their visit to the chamber music hall. And this roof will not only remain in the minds of the guests.

Gas stations don't just have to be functional buildings, they can also set architectural precedents. This is proven by the new service area on a section of the A 94 with an unusual façade profile. The entrepreneur Manfred Singer, who already runs other gas stations and shops in the region, wanted to create a new building for the gas station at the “entrance to the town of Dorfen” that has a certain recognition value and that people will remember. BEMO proved to be the ideal partner for this project, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

A building façade from BEMO and an aluminum roof skin with a golden look give the new district of Kirkjusandur in the Icelandic capital Reykjavik a special appearance. In the last two years, a unique mixed settlement has arisen in the city right on the beach. As part of this new district, the “Stuðlaborg” building has 77 apartments and is arranged in an unusual shape. The appearance of the building is broken, as if it consists of several separate buildings. 

It all starts with an idea that develops into a rough sketch. Curved lines, unusual shapes, smooth surfaces. An idea that will turn into an impressive building. When it comes to turning the mere idea into reality, BEMO Systems is the right partner. "Impossible" does not exist with us: Our experts develop individual and sometimes unprecedented solutions for each project in order to create unique architecturally sophisticated buildings.

Solar thermal system or photovoltaic modules for heating support - when it comes to renewable energies, the question is: What and how? Generating energy from sunlight via collectors on the roof has many advantages. When it comes to their own heating and/or power supply, many rely on solar thermal and photovoltaic solutions. For the installation of solar systems and photovoltaic modules - whether on-roof installation or in-roof installation - you need a suitable basis. Systems such as BEMO Smooth are ideal for this. Smooth and modern building shells with integrated solar or photovoltaic systems. In addition, there is the possibility of seamlessly designing the roof and facade. Modern and timeless design - Smooth can be used in many different ways and makes the installation of the systems and solar modules a lot easier.

A defective roof covering with permanent water ingress, which had already damaged the roof and supporting structure in some areas, impaired the daily use of the Interspar RUM supermarket in Innsbruck. The requirements for a roof renovation: A new, durable roof covering adapted to the climatic conditions (snow, ice & wind) as well as the upgrading of the safety equipment on the roof according to current standards. In search of a complete solution including structural analysis, building physics, works planning, site concept and on-site production, the choice fell on BEMO and its 360° Service.

Urbanisation will and must create more living space in urban agglomerations. In addition to the topic of new construction, building renovation and building heights play a central role. Alongside the general refurbishment and renovation as well as the revitalisation of buildings, energy-efficient renovation plays a key role. Because a large part of the invested cost is amortized - simply by saving heating and cooling costs. This effect is often underestimated and not taken into account. Furthermore, frustration often arises because the desired results of the renovation are delayed or not fully achieved. But what are the reasons for this and how can they be solved when renovating buildings ?! We aim to address these and other topics in this report.

BEMO standing seam roofs are used in all climate zones around the world - including in the Mottolino ski resort in the Italian Alps, where high roof snow loads are normal. The ski resort combines, among other things, conference rooms, co-working spaces, and a restaurant in an area of around 6,000 m². Due to the size of the resort, there is an immense snow load on the roof of the resort. That is why the new main building received a standing seam roof that can carry the heavy snow load on the roof. With the help of precise calculations by the BEMO experts, the building was given an individual roof solution which also fits perfectly into the building's appearance.

A well-rounded affair - in Markdorf, Baden-Württemberg, BEMO has clad an office building with a curved BEMO-BOND INVISIO facade. The challenge: the flowing, organic shape of the building envelope. Thanks to the planning services of our team of experts, however, the implementation of facade cladding on monolithic buildings is not a problem.

A curved substructure and the BEMO-INVISIO facade system with curved BEMO-BOND facade composite panels were used to successfully clad the 800m² facade area. The tightest curve radius was 1000mm, making this design exceptionally unique.

We are approaching the end of the year in great strides. A good moment to say “thank you”: We would like to thank all customers and business partners for the good cooperation, for exciting projects, for new challenges and numerous good conversations! Together we were able to achieve a lot again and create.

A new, international project for BEMO starts: The functional facade layer for the Kai Tak Sports Park Stadium in Hong Kong. Our mobile machine setup and operator team arrived in Hong Kong, and we immediately started the on-site production of the MONRO free-form panels for the functional façade layer of the main stadium at the Kai Tak Sports Park.

There are many reasons to renovate a high-rise facade. For a high-rise building in Schramberg in the Black Forest, a curved, energetic facade renovation of 3,000 m² was planned as part of the modernisation. The goal: an effective U-value of 0.20 W / m²K as well as the fulfillment of the highest fire protection requirements through the high-rise renovation. The choice was a curtain-ventilated facade made of metal from BEMO.

In swimming pools, unusual architecture can provide special bathing fun. However, it is not only a question of unique architecture, but also of the right construction. Because with swimming pools special conditions have to be met in the construction of the building envelope. A thermal building envelope is required, which plays a central role in addition to the system and building technology - especially on the swimming pool roof.

Please note that we will be closed from August 7th, 2021 to August 22nd, 2021 inclusive. 

The Nautiland in Würzburg has got a new roof and facade cladding. As an expert in building envelope planning, BEMO provided support for this major project in which a completely new adventure pool was created. This created an attractive bathing landscape inside and also an adventure bath outside that makes an impression - thanks to a particularly elaborate and innovative outside facade from BEMO.

The BEMO standing seam system is in high demand internationally: The Garagum Hotel in the capital of Turkmenistan is being roofed with BEMO-MONRO freeform profiles. The unique architectural vision of the Garagum hotel& Business Center in Ashgabat is thus becoming a reality.

Building sustainably and energy-efficiently is hugely important to us at BEMO.  That is why we can proudly report that in addition to our facade console TEKOFIX-A++ our GFK thermal halters are now Passivhaus certified.

We wish you a relaxing holiday and a good start into the new year!
