INOX LINE Green façades for a pleasant atmosphere. Façade greening, so far usually left to chance, has gained a new dimension: Jakob® INOX LINE. Attractive training systems for microgardens can be built with a few easy-to-assemble com- ponents made of high-grade stainless steel. The days of haunted castles are over: Green façades are appealing, ecologically sensible and useful. The latest insights on climbing plants combined with tastefully designed and technically sophisticated train- ing systems open a treasure chest of greening variations and styles. Greening makes sense from a...

GOOD REASONS FOR GREENING INOX LINE INTE RIO R TEMPERATURE REGULATION FA ÇA D E PROTEC TION A N D VENTILATION The familiar pergola of southern countries is an ancient but highly efficient method of interior temperature regulation. It promotes the formation of an insulating layer of air, thereby preventing an excessive increase of the inside temperature due to direct solar irradiation. This principle also offers several advantages when applied to vertical structures: the insulating cushion of air between vegetation and façade evens out temperature fluctuations and noticeably reduces heating...

CLIMBING PATTERNS / TRAINING SYSTEMS INOX LINE Characteristics and requirements of climbers The natural habitats of the climbing plants are for the most part in woodland and forests, clearings and peripheral zones. Supported by other plants, they work their way upwards to the light (several species thrive and support themselves on rocks). The climbing plants have developed a variety of climbing patterns (A to F). Growing conditions as near as possible to those in natural habitats must be provided to ensure the successful covering of façades – moist, humusrich and loose-packed soil together...

CLIMBING PATTERNS / TRAINING SYSTEMS INOX LINE Adhesive-sucker climbers support themselves with short lateral shoots tipped with glandular discs that adhere to any surface, even those that are quite smooth. Although these plants require no auxiliary means of support, they can cause damage to buildings. • Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) Adventitious root climbers require no auxiliary means of support. They attach themselves firmly to rocks, tree trunks or façades. These climbers, too, can cause damage to buildings. • Ivy • Climbing hydrangea • Trumpet vine (Campsis) • Euonymus...

INOX LINE BUILDING GREENING IN THE WORLD’S VEGETATION AND CLIMATE ZONES The greening of buildings meets all the requirements for consideration as an important element in contemporary housing-estate planning. Main advantage Occupies very little ground space but nevertheless has many uses. Example: energy saving Large amounts of energy and considerable sums of money can be saved by greening buildings with climbing plants, particularly in climatic zones where inner rooms are cooled at certain times (e.g. in the Mediterranean countries, Southern USA, Japan, Australia, etc.). Technical data...

BOREAL CONIFEROUS FOREST ZONE • Clematis alpina, sibirica, vitalba, virginiana, macropetala, tangutica • Parthenocissus quinquefolia • Polygonum auberti, baldschuanicum • Celastrus scandens • Actinidia kolomikta, arguta, etc. (with edible fruits) • Vitis aestivalis, amurensis, riparia DECIDUOUS BROADLEAF AND MIXED-FOREST ZONES This zone is characterised by its continental-type climate of short, warm summers and long, severe winters. Evergreen climbing shrubs such as ivy are at their climatic limit in this zone. The hardiness of deciduous climbing shrubs make them suitable for this climate....

MEDITERRANEAN HARDLEAF EVERGREEN ZONE WITH WINTER RAINFALL TROPICAL TO WARM TEMPERATE FOREST SAVANNAH AND DESERT SHRUB ZONES Many species grow satisfactorily in a warm temperate climate (North Island of New Zealand) as well as in the tropics. Other varieties, however, require the humid heat of equatorial regions (e.g. Strongylodon macrobotrys). Most of the climbers that are used in zone 4 will grow well in zone 5 when the microclimatic conditions are observed and water management is satisfactory. The hot, frost-free humid or variably humid climate supports lush vegetation consisting of a...

The bottom suspension must hold only half the wind load. The safety factor The defined vertical load to be absorbed by the upper suspension...

INOX LINE HOW TO PLAN TRAINING SYSTEMS 6 3 1 Bolt anchor with internal thread Suitable for concrete façades and hard stone. The bolt anchor expands and grips when the threaded rod is screwed in. Externally insulated façades The spacer is mounted on an insulated support tube and thus transfers lateral forces to the substrate (see Figs. A to F). Using hole saw, core out external insulation (2) on façade (1) and remove insulation piece (3). The wire ropes have a rated diameter of 4 mm (actual: Ø 3.7 mm). A yellow code filament (S) confirms the authenticity of the rope made from AISI 316 and...

Pesticides should not be used in residential zones. Technically mature end connectors make it possible to complete the termination of the wire ropes on site. Non-tensionable end connectors (A) are swaged with the rope at the factory. • The rope (B) can be terminated to the correct length on site with the separately supplied LT2 external thread ends (C) (Fig. 45.1,...
