Kaufhöfe in Gelsenkirchen and Offenbach
The suspended exterior wall is slightly ventilated, allowing moisture diffusing from the inside to escape and maintaining the thermal insulation of the panels (Gartner). All vertical posts made of IPE 100, with welded-on threaded strips and bonded neoprene profiles, are spaced 2.50 m apart and separated by expansion joints at floor level; they transfer wind loads of 110 kg/m² to the floor slabs.
