Hunter Douglas ceramic and aluminum facades. Large-format and extravagant

04 of December '22


Architecture reflects the "spirit of the times",
is shaped by modernity, artistic and cultural trends, and therefore stands at the intersection of tradition and modernity, established and progressive order. The design idea and the structural methods used, influence perception, create a message and make an impact.

In this regard, visible architectural attributes go far beyond their functional meaning, and the facade is more than the outer shell and protection of a building, it is more a form of expression of sensual content, emotion or programmatic or pragmatic message.

CERAMIC FACADES

The needs of "unlimited options," so evident in many aspects of life today, also influence and inspire us as a facade manufacturer. Large-format elements, unusual and extravagant shapes, curved panels and baguettes of different radii, a variety of panel cross-sections and the availability of many corner solutions, are limited only by construction needs, transportation and logistical considerations.

The resulting virtually unlimited wealth of design options ensures that façade ceramics are a strong attribute of the modern design world.

The wealth of shapes and visual effects resulting from experience, expertise and modern production methods mean that the option of using a natural, organic raw material, with its exceptional strength and longevity, has freed itself from almost all limitations. Whether classic or modern, a ceramic facade in its original natural state or with 3D effects - the result is always unique: a durable, easy-to-maintain building with its own character and individual look.

ALUMINUM FACADES

The lightweight aluminum open facadesystem gives architects the opportunity to design a cladding that creates a streamlined, elegant and dynamic finish to a building's facade. The open systems, typically made of linear panels, allow light and air to pass through while maintaining excellent acoustic properties.
