Services
Curtain Wall Design
Our curtain wall design services combine architectural vision with technical precision. Using advanced German-engineered systems, we create non-structural building envelopes that optimize thermal performance, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal while meeting Passive House standards. Our team specializes in BIM integration and custom detailing for complex geometries.
Passive House Systems
We deliver certified Passive House solutions that dramatically reduce energy consumption. Our high-performance curtain wall systems meet Step Code 5 requirements with U-values below 0.8 W/mK. These solutions incorporate triple-glazed assemblies and thermal-bridge-free construction for residential and commercial applications in extreme climates.
Steel Facade Systems
Our RAICO THERM+ steel curtain wall systems handle extreme loads up to 1600 kg while maintaining thermal efficiency. The systems enable seamless transitions between vertical facades and skylights, with custom fabrication options for rolled steel sections and carbon-fiber reinforcements to match architectural intent.
Design-Assist Collaboration
We provide early-stage design-assist services that align aesthetic goals with budgetary and scheduling constraints. Our engineers collaborate directly with architects and builders to optimize constructability, develop comprehensive shop drawings, and coordinate logistics throughout the project lifecycle.
Glazing Projects
From Sky-Frame frameless sliding doors to operable skylights, our glazing solutions merge functionality and aesthetics. We offer triple-glazed assemblies with thermal break technology, available in configurations up to 4 meters tall with corrosion-resistant finishes for coastal environments.
