The challenge of the winds from the southern quadrant.
The coast of Santa Catarina has unique and intense climatic characteristics. The winds from the southern quadrant, Specifically, they hit buildings with great force and humidity. Therefore, facade planning requires a rigorous technical approach. At WGB Architecture and Engineering, We analyze these variables to ensure the durability of your projects.
Structural impacts and infiltrations
Southern gusts bring salinity and directional rainfall. Therefore, without adequate protection, the sealing system can fail prematurely. Furthermore, the constant humidity accelerates the degradation of porous materials. For example, A poorly sealed facade can lead to serious problems, such as cracks and internal mold. Consequently, maintenance costs increase dramatically over the years.
Technical references and local standards
To mitigate these risks, we rigorously follow performance standards. According to ABNT NBR 15575, In the context of building performance regulations, water tightness is a mandatory criterion. Furthermore, we apply this standard to projects near... Conceição Lagoon, where exposure to winds is even more pronounced. Therefore, our designs balance contemporary aesthetics and superior structural strength.
Effective protection strategies
Designing facades on the island requires intelligent construction. First, we used strategically positioned brise-soleils. Furthermore, We specified high-performance sealants for all movement joints. This ensures that the structure can withstand wind pressures without compromising thermal comfort. On the other hand, The choice of premium materials should take into account the water absorption rate.
Customized solutions by WGB
Each plot of land in Florianópolis behaves uniquely in response to the wind. Therefore, We don't apply generic solutions to our projects. With the goal of maximizing the lifespan of your construction, we conduct detailed simulations. Therefore, we deliver projects that combine sophistication, safety, and high technical efficiency. After all, your home should be a refuge, not a constant source of worry.
