Office building with Alta Quartzite facade – concealed fastening with Fixade
This office building is a clear example of how Alta Quartzite can be used in modern commercial buildings to create a robust, precise and architectural expression. The facade is made of Alta Quartzite with concealed fastening , installed with the modern facade system Fixade from Spilka Building Solutions .
The solution combines Norwegian natural stone with a technically advanced fastening system and gives the building a sleek, timeless and professional look – well-suited to both function and architecture.
Alta Quartzite facade with hidden fastening
The facade is clad with precisely tailored slate panels in Alta Quartzite , installed with concealed mechanical fastening . The Fixade system makes it possible to install natural stone without visible fasteners, which provides clean surfaces and a holistic visual expression.
Advantages of concealed fastening in the Fixade system:
- No visible screws or fittings
- Precise and repeatable assembly
- Very good tolerance handling
- Easy maintenance and interchangeability
The system is developed for modern facades with high demands on aesthetics, safety and durability.
Modern facade system – Fixade from Spilka Building Solutions
Fixade is a flexible and robust facade system that is particularly suitable for natural stone such as Alta Quartzite. The system provides good ventilation behind the facade, controlled drainage and a secure mechanical anchoring of the stone slabs.
The combination of Alta Quartzite and Fixade provides:
- Long service life and minimal maintenance requirements
- Good moisture resistance and technical performance
- A modern expression with clear material quality
This makes the solution suitable for office buildings and commercial buildings where both architecture and operation are important factors.
Architecture, precision and execution
The facade appears taut and balanced, with even joints and carefully adapted formats. Transitions around windows, corners and cornices are solved with high precision, and show how Alta Quartzite works excellently in projects with complex details and modern architecture .
The shades and structure of natural stone bring life to the facade, while the overall appearance appears calm and professional.
Sustainable facade solution in Norwegian natural stone
Alta Quartzite is a short-lived, Norwegian natural stone with a very long lifespan. Together with a reusable and mechanical facade system, this provides a sustainable solution with a low climate footprint over the life of the building.
The facade solution is well suited for future adaptations, rehabilitation and changed use – without compromising on expression or quality.
