The purpose of this document is to highlight the durability of the MonkeyToe building and structural components installed in an indoor and outdoor environment.
The purpose of this document is to discuss the compatibility of Aluminium with Dissimilar Metals.
As connections between dissimilar metals can cause galvanic corrosion, this is one of the most important durability considerations when it comes to designing new structures.
Aluminium survives a long time in challenging environments and one of the biggest factors is to ensure all connections to other metals and structures are correct. Failure to get this correct can cause localized, rapid corrosion known as ‘galvanic corrosion’.
Codes and standards ensure the end product is safe, predictable and useable. They are many and varied and making sure we comply means some of us now enjoy reading encyclopedias (and standards) in our spare time..
Do you hate stepping in puddles with your new shoes or driving on a track in a new car, we feel the same about your roofing system and the building envelope.
Do you need to design a stair for your next project or property but not sure where to start? Do you know which codes and regulations apply when designing a Stair? Our Fire Stair and General Stair Design Guide is the perfect place to start!
At the cornerstone of our work is access: the bridges, stairs, walkways, and custom designed solutions that don’t just get you from A to B, but also stand the test of time, look great, perform better and are developed to meet your unique needs.
In Australasia, our roofs can take a hammering. As a home’s first layer of weather proofing – keeping us dry, cool, and warm – ensuring your roof is installed and maintained correctly is vital.
Over the years, we’ve talked about the ways that increased efficiencies, new technologies and innovative designs are transforming the construction and architecture landscape.
New and improved HushMonkey is an acoustic screening system that is easy to install, simple and innovative. This effective wall system provides a simplistic and visually appealing barrier whilst reflecting or absorbing unwanted noise.
Now more than ever, businesses are looking to make their buildings and building processes more efficient. Every day, we look at ways of saving ourselves and our clients on their projects. Less waste, fewer losses, more time up our sleeves.
The question is always: How can we do this better?
Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs, or simply ‘carbon fibre’) have become the material of choice where high strength-to-weight ratios and rigidity are demanded.
Aluminium has long been seen as a premium, quality product but now its versatility is really being realised.
At Monkeytoe, we’re passionate about encouraging ‘Construction Influencers’ to look at the whole picture when it comes to construction, and it’s in this context that aluminium’s true benefits shine.
Mounting an air conditioner to the roof involves making important structural and material considerations while ensuring compliance with the regulatory environment.
