One of the more subtle ways to make a building temperature controlled while considering the planet is ventilated facade systems. This cladding system changes a building’s envelope, improving the building’s efficiency and impact.

Metalwërks announced the inclusion of its Sculpted 3D on the recently constructed parking garage of Connecticut’s historic Stamford Station, part of a massive overhaul of this key link in rail traffic in the region.

Matt Gerhart, cladding sales manager for Fiberon, joined us to discuss Fiberon’s recycling process for wood-plastic composites.

3A Composites USA is expanding its portfolio of system options with the launch of ALUCOBOND®FaceFastened. This simple, yet high-performance architectural cladding system is intentionally designed for use in a wide range of applications.

Kingspan Light + Air unveiled its new product branding, exemplifying its evolution as a company and focus on innovation, growth and the customer experience.

Architectural firm KAI Enterprises chose insulated metal panels to build the nearly 500,000 square-foot facility. More than 98,000 square-feet of Kingspan’s KS Mini Micro-Rib and Optimo Smooth panels were used on the project in regal white, dark bronze and bright silver colors.

The renovation and retrofit of the Science IV building on the campus of Binghamton University demonstrates how the skillful design, fabrication and application of ALUCOBOND® PLUS can transform an outdated, boring façade.

When it comes to aesthetic impact, versatility, and durability, the options with solid metal panels are nearly boundless. 

Built environments are essential for human health, safety, and comfort. Properly constructed buildings enable us to live and thrive in any natural environment, many of which would be otherwise virtually unlivable.

For wall cladding and roofing systems, architectural zinc’s inherent metallic properties can help reduce buildings’ operational carbon footprints, and improve their energy-efficient, climate-resilient, long-lasting performance.
