A SPECIAL FACADE FOR A SPECIAL STORE
The premises of the Østjysk Våbenhandel in Denmark can be
clearly seen from a major motorway. For customers, as well
as those driving past, the unusual facade of this building
catches the eye and is a landmark for the area. RMIG have
manufactured and supplied 400 m2 of perforated sheets that
make up the facade, and with RMIG ImagePerf, a giant motif of
a pheasant in flight decorates the building.
The large open area of the perforated sheets provides good
visibility of the outside surroundings for those using the
building during the day, and at night the lights in the store’s
foyer shine through the perforation, accentuating the stunning
image.

CASE STUDY:
LIDL HEADQUARTERS SPV COMPLETE CLADDING
WORKS AT THE NEC
Lindapter Girder Clamps
provided an easy to install
solution for a sun protection
cladding system at Lidls
headquarters in Germany.
The challenge was to find a
suitable method of connecting
the cladding system to the
steel structure of the staff car
park, and one that was easy
to install. SPV Group- the Walsall
based refurbishment
specialists, have recently
completed Phase 2 of
the cladding works at
The NEC, Birmingham.
The cladding works
undertaken by SPV form
part of a £4.5 million
transformation which
will completely change
the look and feel of
the iconic Birmingham
based venue. The new design has recently seen 37 pyramid
translucent structures installed – created by architects Acivico – that
can be backlit to create a stunning visual effect sandwiched between
the pyramids are a series of vibrant colour panels designed by global
agency McCann.
A T-shaped steel bracket with an end plate incorporating four pre-
drilled holes was designed. Lindapter Type A Girder Clamps were then
specified for the end plate connection to achieve the required tensile
resistance and safe working load.
A hot dip galvanised (HDG) finish was also specified for the Girder
Clamps to provide a high level of corrosion protection.

Weapon store, Hedensted, Denmark
Architects: Ginneruparkitekter
The brackets were connected to the steel sections using Lindapter Type
A Girder Clamps through the end plates in a four-bolt configuration.
Installation was quick and easy as each bolt is simply inserted into the
pre-drilled holes with the Type A on one end and nut on the other.
This solution provided a drilling and weld free connection onsite that
was quick and easy to install.

The finished result using this innovative technology is visually
stunning. The project has not only transformed and modernised
the dated building which was originally built in 1976, but has also
made the area a far more dynamic and engaging environment
for all customers and set the NEC apart as one of the best leisure
destinations in the country. SPV’s remit was the installation of
designed metal rainscreen cassette panel cladding complete with
bespoke flashings.
