Restoration

A new skin can give a building new life. Because curtain wall is an important aesthetic feature which controls the flow of air, water, temperature and wind pressure, recladding an older building with a state-of-the-art system can solve a number of problems. A reclad design can boost heat and light efficiency, achieve LEED certification for the building, and update the façade simultaneously.
