Modern architecture

The current trend in modern architecture is, by the skilful use of steel and glass, to present large-scale buildings as airy, futuristic constructions soaring skywards.

Outstanding features of this style of building are roofs that seemingly float on air, with a filigree supporting framework and skilfully suspended facades.

The availability of special, easily integrated fastening and support elements is a prerequisite for the optimum implementation of this form of construction. The special tension rod and compression strut systems, as integral elements in the building design, must guarantee maximum functionality and safety. At the same time they must blend into the whole construction as clearly visible design elements with aesthetic appeal.

m·connect product program

The product range of m·connect tension rod and compression strut systems was specially developed for the smooth fulfilment of these tasks. The products meet the toughest demands and, due to their wide-ranging applicability, are of great practical benefit to

Tension rod and compression strut systems

The m·connect tension rod systems are the ideal components to distribute tension forces in an economical and, at the same time, elegant manner. They are suited to all types of suspension and anchoring. Connection plates (circular disks) and connecting lugs provide optimum additional features.

The m·connect compression strut systems are able to bear tension forces, but are also specially designed to take up and distribute compression forces. They are ideally suited to act as stabilizing elements and supports, suspension components on simultaneous compression loads and compression struts in frame construction. By combining compression strut and tension rod systems, additional construction possibilities are available.
