Solutions for every building type
An office building is judged by how it performs over decades, a hotel by the view from the room and the quiet inside it, a school by whether the air in a full classroom still allows people to concentrate. Every building type places its own demands on windows, doors and façades: comfort, safety, durability, operating costs and architectural expression. That is why we structure our work around the building, not around the product. We start from the requirements of the project and its users, and work back to the systems, details and services that make the design buildable.

How we support your building type
The same three questions come up in every project. What changes from one building type to the next is the answer.
The building types we support
Each entry sets out what typically drives the envelope decisions in that type of project, and leads to the systems, services and reference projects behind it.
Why building type matters to us
We think in buildings, not in product ranges. A museum, a shopping centre and an airport ask entirely different things of the same façade. That understanding sits behind every recommendation we make, so the person you speak to already knows the typical questions your building type raises and can point you to the right solution for it.
Requirements we already know
The functional, technical and regulatory demands of your building type are familiar ground before the first conversation starts.
Systems matched to the use
We select from the Schüco and Jansen ranges according to what the building actually has to do, not according to what is easiest to specify.
Details for the recurring interfaces
Every building type has connections that come up in project after project. We have worked through them before.
Experience from completed projects
What we learn on one project feeds into how we advise on the next, across all of our markets.
Who we work with
Every building type involves the same professionals, with different questions at different points in the project.
Your building type is not listed?
We support projects across a wider range of uses than the categories shown here, including refurbishment of existing buildings, industrial and logistics buildings, exhibition and trade fair buildings, and religious buildings. If your project does not fit neatly into one of the categories above, the fastest route is a direct conversation with our technical team.
