Coordinate facade openings, penetrations, drainage, access, and mechanical interfaces early with MEP teams to avoid clashes and ensure performance and maintainability.
Techniques to maintain perceived flatness: tight tolerances, concealed fixings, uniform finishes, thermal detailing and strategic joint planning for large metal facades.
Solutions include large-format panels with concealed fixings, continuous shadow gaps, sliding clips and engineered gaskets to hide joints while permitting movement.
Recommendations for retrofits: lightweight ventilated metal rainscreens, thermally broken subframes, and modular panels that minimize added structural loads and preserve masonry integrity.
Maintenance plans depend on environment, finish, access, joint design and warranty—this overview helps owners plan predictable upkeep for aluminum facades.
Best options include high-alloy aluminum with robust coatings, stainless steel accents, sacrificial lower panels and corrosion-isolated fasteners for coastal durability.
Explore how metal facades support brand expression through color, texture, form, integrated signage and durable finishes tailored to commercial and retail identity.
A one-stop facade partner centralizes design, engineering, fabrication and installation—reducing information loss, accelerating decision cycles and ensuring quality control.
Metal facades adapt to complex forms via modular panels, cold-forming, custom profiles and flexible subframes—techniques to achieve smooth curves and folded geometries.
Metal facades contribute to sustainability through recyclability, lightweight structure, long service life, durable coatings and adaptability for future reuse.
