Um novo ícone da arquitetura em São Paulo está tomando forma : é o edifício corporativo Faria Lima Plaza no Largo da Batata em Pinheiros com a sua fachada unitizada AURA 120FAU, marcando o horizonte para propulsionar a revitalização de toda a região em seu entorno.
AURA System again present on the facade of yet another landmark in São Paulo, so imposing that it will transform the entire region in its surroundings – it is the Faria Lima Plaza building in Largo da Batata!
In order to pass such a rigorous performance test, without reservations, is required a product that values total quality.
A fundamental element of the Birmann 32 landmark, the AURA 125 FAU facade by TERA METAIS overcame a major challenge: having its performance tested in an internationally recognized laboratory, the CRL (Construction Research Laboratory) in Miami / USA – where it was tested none other than the Petronas Towers facade, among other icons.
The unprecedented success experience for complex facades of Brazilian enterprises was carried out by the AURA System team of TERA METAIS and became part of the company’s history. To give you an idea, the test prototype – representing with accuracy a large corner segment of the building’s facade – had three angles of positive and negative inclination, totaling an area of 180m².
What made this test a milestone? In addition to the tests foreseen in NBR 10.821 (air permeability, water tightness, resistance and safety) with a wind pressure of 200 kgf / m², the prototype was subjected to a dynamic pressure test with a propeller plane engine, simulating a real situation. There was also a second step of the tightness test, after the maximum efforts were applied in the strength test.
The result and the certificate, for the satisfaction of the customer, partners and of course, for the joy of our team, prove the excellence of our work.
With great pride, we at AURA System arrived at the CRL (Constrution Research Laboratory) to test our facade (AURA 125 FAU) that will be used in the iconic building, Birmann 32, which is already under construction at Av. Faria Lima)
Look at the engines that will be used for the test!
The assembly of the structure starting to be built-up. A lot of work ahead.
Structure ready, time to start to put the facades in place!
Created in 1955 by Alexandre “Sak” Saknnovsky and located in Miami, Florida, the CRL – Constrution Reasearch Laboratory – was the first laboratory in the world to perform curtain wall tests.
Over 3500 facades and over 3500 windows, doors, roofs and other building systems have been tested here, such as Sears Towers in Chicago, World Trade Center in New York, Canary Warf in London, Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumper among others.

Once again this year we were at Casacor SP, where the architect Ticiane Lima trusted us to develop and provide the aluminum frames for her exquisite project of Press Room, where we showed a little bit of the benefits of the AURA System’s solutions.
It is with deep regret that we communicate the passing of Mr. Nivaldo Mantuan, founder and owner of Tera Metais Alumínio LTDA. We thank all the prayers and support. It’s certain that he finds himself in the loving arms of Our Lord. Nivaldo Mantuan *24.10.1956 +26.05.2019
CASACOR is Brazil’s most representative exhibition of the contemporary residential and interiors architecture and, this year, happens from May to June, at Joquey Club of Sao Paulo.

Tera Metais is participating along the partner Sá Martins at the ambience “Estúdio com Pórtico” (Studio with Porch), by the architects Alexandre Gedeon and Hugo Schwartz, dividing the ambience with a AURA System 125Ctb sliding door (thermal break), of high acoustic performance – it its worth to check!
At the box: H+ Soluções para Ambientes Hospitalares e Clínicos Mais Seguros (H+ Solutions for Safer Hospital and Clinical Environments), Tera Metais exposed – from 16/05 to 19/05/2017 at Expo Center Norte – with great names of the civil construction industry its frames of high thermal and acoustic performance and for great glass thickness, in special solutions like: swing windows with hidden leaf and hardware and removable locks. The exposed frames are ideal for hospital and clinics, because in addition to your functionality and practicality, have fewer cracks and bumps, but also highlight its elegance and sophistication, being likewise indicated for hotels, offices and residences.
