Facade and wall materials – trends 2023
Facades and walls are often the surfaces to which we most quickly turn our attention. After all, it is said that it is the facade that is the hallmark of a building, and the phrase „four walls” defines the framework of the space where we spend the most time. So what elements should we pay attention to when designing vertical partitions? What trends are on the market of facade and wall materials? Welcome to the first part of the review of interesting proposals and innovative solutions!

building atmosphere

refined details
The quality of built objects is often determined by details. Comprehensive finishing of the facade edges can be provided by properly selected finishing profiles (ETICS), and the proper connection of the structural plaster with the window frame by window trims (available in colors matching the standard colors of the windows), such as those available in the Bella Plast brand.

modern glazing
Facades can account for up to 20% of an investment's built-in carbon footprint, 12% of which is generated by the glazing itself! Seeking solutions to reduce this negative environmental impact, Saint-Gobain Glass has introduced the world's first facade glass with the lowest carbon footprint — ORAÉ®. The Calumen® online configurator can help you select glass for your façade.
