Bloomingdale’s at the Beverly Center

May 29, 2025

The 30-year-old, original fiberglass skylight at the Beverly Center fashion mall was in need of renovation, and our Quadwall system was the perfect solution the mall was looking for. Specified in ice white and white matte glazing, the new skylight was installed above the 41,000 sq. ft. main floor in just seven days to meet the store’s unveiling deadline – all while the store was fully occupied, thanks to the system’s removable skin technology.

THE JOHNS HOPKINS MEDICAL CAMPUS

May 22, 2025

The Airolite Look…

The new clinical building consists of two towers, each 12 stories high, that join together at the eighth floor. Although no louvers are visible from the south-facing front entrance of the building, the sides and rear of the facility contain over 21,000 square feet of louvers. In total, over $1.5 million dollars worth of louvers were installed. Most of the louvers form a continuous sweeping span around the sixth floor. The sixth floor louver wall periodically rises up into the seventh floor and gently draws one’s attention skyward toward the eighth floor where the twin towers come together. Airolite storm class louvers (Type SCH7), extruded aluminum stationary louvers (Type CB609) and (Type K 609) and extruded aluminum drainable louvers (CB638HP) were painted with a custom color-match Kynar® pearlescent pewter coating to match other aluminum materials in the building. The sleek, clean lines of the louver walls with concealed vertical mullions complement the building’s impressive modern look. Six to seven inch louver blade depths add further interest to the building’s exterior design.

That Works

In addition to looking great, the Airolite louvers designed for this building provide much needed intake air and exhaust ventilation while minimizing or preventing water penetration. The building’s location on the East Coast makes it vulnerable to occasional hurricanes and high winds blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. Water penetration was minimized at reasonable cost by using a combination of Airolite storm class, stationary and drainable louvers.

Airolite’s Type SCH7 is a storm class combination louver designed and rated to provide high volume intake and exhaust ventilation and the greatest level of protection against water penetration. It was used on parts of the building with the greatest exposure to severe wind and rain off the coast. Airolite’s extruded aluminum stationary louvers (Type K609/CB609) are designed for applications that require intake and exhaust ventilation with moderate protection against water penetration and were used in less vulnerable locations. Extruded aluminum drainable louvers (CB638HP) are drainable louvers designed to provide high volume air flow and resistance to water penetration. The louver incorporates a drainable head-frame to prevent water from cascading from shear-walls onto the louver assembly and becoming entrained in the intake air flow. In addition to the louver walls, Airolite provided penthouses with louvers to protect equipment on top of the building.

Dan Higdon, ISEC, Inc. supervised installation of the Airolite louvers and was very pleased with the staged delivery that took place over one year. “They pretty much came on schedule,” he said. “At one point, they were coming faster than we could install them.”

Chutes – Internal Chutes

May 15, 2025

Chutes International manufactures… chutes! While they manufacture internal and external chutes, we want to focus today on internal chutes. These are generally used for trash, recycling and linens in high rise apartments, offices, hotels and hospitals.

 

The chutes produced by Chutes International are made of aluminized or stainless steel, depending on the application, and come in standard sizes. They can also provide custom sized chutes. Their chute doors are all 100% stainless steel – front and back panels, sides and skirt. All sections are fully welded. This quality manufacturing gives you a product that will function well and last a very long time.

 

A fully trained staff of estimators is available to answer questions, provide training and work with architects and/or spec writers. Call us at (800) 882-4883. Chutes International offers continuing education through AEC Daily or in-person lunch and learn sessions for architects as we recognize the importance of keeping certifications current.

Magento

April 17, 2025

When you have great choices making a decision is difficult, it’s great when your project can have both!   This project for Magento in Culver City utilized both the Moderco Crystal acoustic glass and the Signature 8500 Operable Partitions.  The results were beautiful glazed glass panels at the entry and operable partitions with markerboards for an additional room when needed. This project was wonderfully designed by Wolcott Architecture | Interiors and our GC was HBC.
