Materials / Exterior Systems

Exterior Systems

Façades, claddings, louvers, roof edge details, and canopy assemblies — selected for real site conditions and verified before confirmation.

SCOPE

Supplied per project scope for exterior envelope applications.

Final selections are confirmed by specification, finish intent, site exposure, and compliance requirements.

What we verify before confirmation

Key checks that reduce installation and compliance risk.

  • Finish intent vs. site exposure (UV, corrosion class, cleaning cycles)
  • System compatibility (sub-frames, fixing method, tolerances)
  • Documentation readiness (origin, material certificates, compliance needs)
  • Packaging & protection for transport and installation sequence

FAÇADE

Façade & Cladding Panels

Reference products and finish families for exterior walls, podiums, and feature zones.

Facade reference material image
Reference Product

Mirror / PVD Panel Family

Premium reflective skins and colored finishes — specified by scratch resistance, protective film, and installation sequencing.

Common scope
  • Stainless / aluminum / coated steel panel systems (cassette, tray, flat)
  • Feature zones: column wraps, entrances, podium accents
  • System-ready trims for reveals, shadow gaps, and corners
What matters in façade confirmation
  • Finish durability vs. cleaning cycles (especially high-touch zones)
  • Flatness, oil-canning tolerance, and joint alignment intent
  • Protective film + edge protection for transport & site handling
  • Sub-frame compatibility and fixing method approval
Typical substratesSS / AL / coated steel
Finish familiesMirror / hairline / PVD

LOUVERS

Screens & Louvers

Ventilation, shading, and screening elements — validated for spacing, structural intent, and fixing strategy.

Architectural Louvers

Shading / ventilation assemblies — where sightlines, water paths, and tolerances decide the outcome.

Common scope
  • Fixed or operable louvers (project-dependent)
  • Perforated metal screens & expanded metal
  • Equipment screening and parking façade zones
What matters in louver confirmation
  • Blade spacing, sightline intent, and allowable deflection
  • Water management: drip edges, drainage, corrosion protection
  • Fixing and access plan for maintenance
  • Noise / vibration considerations (site wind exposure)
System typeFixed / operable
FinishAnodized / coated / SS
Key constraintTolerance + wind
Supply modeProject-based
ROOF

Roof Edge & Copings

Roof perimeter details and equipment zone finishes — confirmed by water path, exposure class, and packaging strategy.

Reference Product

Metal Edge + Wrap Details

Copings, flashings, and perimeter wraps — where joint logic and waterproofing sequence must match the site plan.

Common scope
  • Copings, flashings, parapet cappings
  • Roof-top equipment screening trims and wraps
  • Edge trims and expansion joint covers
What matters in roof confirmation
  • Water path, overlaps, sealant design intent
  • Exposure class (coastal, industrial, high UV)
  • Dimensional control and field tolerance reality
  • Packaging to prevent edge damage and surface marking
FocusWaterproofing sequence
Risk pointEdge damage

CANOPY

Canopies & Soffits

Entrance zones, soffits, and feature ceilings — confirmed by lighting intent, perforation patterns, and access constraints.

Reference Product

Perforated / Feature Soffit

Perforated metal and feature panels — where pattern alignment and lighting coordination define perceived quality.

Common scope
  • Entrance soffit panels (flat / cassette)
  • Perforated feature zones for diffusion and rhythm
  • Column wraps and canopy edge trims
What matters in canopy confirmation
  • Pattern + joint alignment (module logic)
  • Lighting coordination and shadow-gap intent
  • Access panels / maintenance constraints
  • Finish consistency across batches
Key driverPattern + light
