The Anera extension column: building efficiently

In business and logistics, everything revolves around efficiency, safety, and flexibility. That’s why we developed the extension column: a smart solution that goes beyond just a load-bearing function. This innovative column makes it possible to build faster, safer, and with long-term adaptability.

The principle: single vs. double system

In a single system, the construction ends at the main beam on which the floor rests – a stable but static setup. In a double system, such as the Anera extension column, it goes further: the main beams are not mounted on a connecting plate but on a specially developed column head. On this head, an upper column can easily be placed. This makes it possible to add an extra floor at a later stage without altering the existing structure – ideal for growing companies or multifunctional buildings.

No over-dimensioning of columns

Traditional columns are often built heavier than technically necessary. This leads to unnecessary material use, higher costs, and loss of usable space. The Anera extension column is designed precisely to match the functional load – no more, no less. This means a slimmer design, more efficient use of resources, and more room for storage or workspace.

No unnecessary cut-outs in chipboard flooring

In many systems, contractors need to make additional cut-outs in the chipboard floor around the columns. This costs time, increases the chance of errors, and affects the finishing. Our extension column is designed to integrate seamlessly into the floor structure. No adjustments are needed, the finish remains smooth, and the end result is faster and cleaner.

Smart openings and connection points

A construction project is teamwork. The extension column supports this process with multiple options: cable ducts, openings, and connection points at logical positions. This allows subcontractors such as electricians and sprinkler installers to easily and quickly place their systems without extra drilling or delays. It avoids waiting times and ensures a smooth construction process.

Prevents progressive collapse

Safety always comes first. The extension column includes an anti-crash system that drastically reduces the risk of progressive collapse in case of an accident. This improves the structural safety of the building and provides peace of mind for designers, contractors, and end users.

Light, efficient, and easy to install

Another major advantage of the extension column is the ease of transport and installation. Because the column is modular, the individual components are lighter and more compact than traditional columns. They fit easily into a standard truck and are easier for installers to lift and assemble. This saves time, effort, and costs on the construction site.

Also ideal for expansions in existing spaces

Do you want to add another floor while the space is already in use? No problem. Since the extension column requires less installation and maneuvering space than traditional systems, installers can work efficiently even in operational environments. This means your business operations can continue uninterrupted, even during expansions.

Ready for the future

The built environment is constantly changing. New layouts, additional floors, or technical upgrades – with the extension column, that flexibility remains. The structure is prepared for future modifications, making the system not only efficient during construction but also sustainable in the long term.
