Technoform offers a shearless polyamide thermal barrier for windows, doors and façade systems. The thermal barrier reduces deformation caused by uneven thermal expansion in aluminum framing members and minimizes thermal conductivity to reduce energy use. It allows the inside and outside of aluminum framing members to expand independently at different rates without bending.
The choices made in materials, shading, and energy systems will determine whether buildings remain safe havens or become liabilities.
High-performance coatings, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based coatings, add upfront expense but reduce or even eliminate costly recoats/replacement later in the building’s life.
The building’s striking facade features black metal panels, installed in a cohesive pattern at a 45-degree angle.
Metal building systems are noncombustible structures using steel framing and metal panels, manufactured for pre-assembly inspection.
