Facing by glass, aluminum, composite panels, and stainless steel has become a widespread solution in modern day construction industries. In view of the fact that the façade represents external lining of a civil structure, it must fulfill the corresponding requirements in terms of atmospheric protection, as a shield from high or low temperature, or noise, or too much sunshine, etc. In other words, it must make the building airtight.

The use of special glass can prevent excessive heating of the premises in the summer, reducing the energy consumption required for air-conditioning. On the other hand, the façade as good thermal insulator can reduce the cost of heating in winter-time.
 

 

New technologies and materials for interlinking different materials are now capable of

satisfying the most complex requirements of the architect. The semi-structural façade is

such an efficient bond between aluminum and glass or composite (alu-bond)

panels that the frontal structure of the building becomes practically invisible.
 

 

In this type of façade the coupling between aluminum and glass or aluminum and

composite panel is such that the aluminum structure is completely masked. With

structural and semi-structural facades, windows are opened exclusively around the upper

horizontal axis outward (away from the building). The appearance of all parts of the

façade is identical, regardless of whether it is fixed, or parapet, or can be opened.

A classic façade is made up of horizontal and vertical structural aluminum sections which are fully visible in their actual size on the façade. The windows are opened around their vertical and/or horizontal axis. The advantages are good sealing, classic opening, and simple maintenance.
 

 

Combining various steady materials such as INOX, aluminum, and glass, we may design imposing structures of various shapes so as to accentuate entryway into office buildings, production plants, etc.
