Screws for fibreboard panels and parametric roofs

In the design of a restaurant inside a shopping mall in Pretoria, South Africa, 4th Revolution Architects created a parametric roof that combines aesthetics and acoustic functionality. With an area of 400 square meters of niches in fibreboard panels, the main goal was to ensure high visual impact and optimal acoustic comfort. 

HTS screws from Rothoblaas have been used to fasten structures in fibreboard panels, providing excellent sealing and adapting to the specific requirements of this type of material. The membranes of the TRASPIR range and sealing tapes have been used to guarantee waterproofing and airtightness, integrating perfectly with the plywood ceiling design and columns, on a concrete and steel bearing structure.  

The parametric ceiling: aesthetics and acoustics 

The parametric ceiling is an example of how technology can transform architectural design. Through the use of parametric software, it is possible to design complex and customised geometries, adapted to the environment. In the case of the restaurant, the design of the ceiling not only has an aesthetic function, but helps improving sound distribution and control, reducing reverberation and noise, for the benefit of user comfort. 

HTS screws: precision and versatility 

HTS fibreboard panels screws have been chosen to fasten plywood, due to their high mechanical strength and optimised geometry, which prevents cracks in wood and ensures a stable fastening even under heavy loads. Suitable for materials such as plywood and fibreboard panels, HTS screws offer a versatile and reliable solution for applications where precision and durability are essential.  
HTS stands out among screws for glued laminated timber and wood based-panels.  

A fine thread guarantees the utmost screwing precision, even on MDF panels. In carbon steel with bright zinc plated, it is ideal for applications in service classes 1 and 2.
