EXTERIOR DESIGN

The fundamental principles of design are: Emphasis, Balance and Alignment, Contrast, Repetition, Proportion, Movement and White Space. Exterior design refers to the physical architecture and organizational elements of the outside-facing components of a building.

DESIGN PERFECTION

A national firm of FRP building and manufacturing, planners and exterior designers specializing in a wide range of commercial, corporate and public sector projects.

The rehabilitation of buildings and civil engineering infrastructures is becoming even more important, due to the historical value of the built heritage. Compared to traditional construction materials for buildings, FRP composites represent a relatively novel construction solution with several intrinsic advantageous properties, such as high strength and stiffness, reduced mass, low thermal conductivity, high corrosion and weather resistance, durability, but also the implicit feature of offsite fabrication, modular construction capacity and possibility to mold complex forms with special finishes and effects.

Color Harmony and Coatings

A wide variety of generic coating types can be applied to FRP.  The specific system is selected based on the expected environmental exposure, such as chemical or UV. As to color, the pigments used in epoxy-based paints will give the fiberglass a suitable barrier of protection.

Lightweight and Durability

Besides being lighter than steel, GFRP has several additional advantages over traditional building materials. It is corrosion resistant and has low moisture absorption, therefore making it an ideal material for exterior use.
