Technology & Design
All load bearing elements of our Frameworx system are corrosion resistant. They are either coated using the two-layer epoxy-polyester process, like the tubes, or made of aluminium, like the nodes and clamps for rope and panels.
The ropes have been manufactured using materials with proven durability under extreme weather conditions and high play frequency.
The repeated awarding of the Red Dot Design Award as well as the German Design Award to our play equipment is proof of our high standards in design as well as functionality.
Cloverleaf Ring
It is a jewel, though more useful: Because of its elaborate shape, the Cloverleaf Ring connects ropes at their crossing points, without sharp edges or entrapments. For maintenance it makes the replacement of individual rope strands a simple task.
The Cloverleaf Ring is made in a forging die. Thus, the aluminium fiber course is optimised and the ring extremely long-lasting. The Cloverleaf Ring represents our ingenuity like hardly any other element.
Ball Connector
It has always been our aim to create our sophisticated products under the main constraints of design and safety, without compromising function and stability. Hence, in early 2002 we introduced a new tensioning mechanism, AstemTT®.
The spatial net tensioning system lies within an aluminium ball, made of 85% recycled material, sealed with a durable hard rubber cap. The Ball Connector is sandblasted and solventfree powder-coated, protecting against corrosion. After a successful trial period we have adopted this rope tensioning technology as a standard for our three-dimensional play equipment. Aside from the intelligent mechanism and harmonious integration into the Frameworx structure, AstemTT® simplifies installation. The spatial net can be tensioned evenly across the entire structure. Furthermore, all tensioning mechanisms are contained within the closed sphere, making them inaccessible for users.
In order to ensure the children’s safety during free play on our structures, all technical connection elements have been banned from the play zone. Our patented tensioning system contains eyelets, loops, thimbles, and hooks inside the aluminium sphere.
With our innovative tensioning system, the net can be tensioned very easily and evenly!
Berliner Creative Center
One of our greatest competitive advantages lies in the development of customized playgrounds. Whether it’s an Australian bottle tree, a hot air balloon based on a work of art or the longest climbing structure – our Berliner Creative Center fulfills every architectural wish. Architects, designers, landscape planners, and engineers design customized and one-of-a-kind play sculptures, create new shapes and implement customers’ wishes. This results in distinctive play landscapes which encompass customers’ ideas with optimal safety and maximum play value.
To help you visualize your ideas and find the perfect design for your playground together, our creative professionals produce high-quality renderings before the construction phase. Even our standard products can be customized according to individual wishes and adapted to the geographical environment. Let your imagination run wild!
In addition to the Berliner Creative Center, which is based at the headquarters in Berlin, there is a planning and design department exclusively for the American market – Berliner Creative Center USA in Greenville, South Carolina.
Our playground equipment has already won several Red Dot Design Awards and the German Design Award.
