What Is A TR System?
Tension rod applications are typically bracing or hanging elements as opposed to primary structure. Where nominal prestress is required in tension elements, high strength stainless-steel rods are better suited than cables.

Why Choose Tension Rod
Novum has created and fully tested its own line of architectural lightweight stainless-steel tension rods which are aesthetically pleasing, fast to design, readily available, and economical.

CUSTOM IN APPLICATION
Design examples include suspended facades, dead load hangers, and the in-plane X-bracing of trusses, walls, and roofs.
FACTORY FINISHED
Novum Tension Rods are typically brushed finish. However, alternative end fittings can be developed. Conventional stock type mild steel tension rods and fittings are also available where architecturally desired or loading dictates.
ASSEMBLY
The rod ends are typically cast, and machined open clevis. Various diameters are available up to 1.2” (30mm) and attractive connectors and turnbuckles are used for longer items. The actual rod is machined, and end fittings are typical.

Some Of Our Projects
Typically used in conjunction with projects adopting Architecturally Exposed Steel, Glass to Glass, and Beam to Beam Systems, the Novum Tension Rod System is excellent for lightweight bracing.
