“The future of the energy-efficient method for North American façade construction lies in timber construction. Timber is a renewable, CO2-neutral and highly heat-insulating construction material that provides an excellent living comfort.”
 

Fassaden glazed timber curtain wall is an innovative timber-glass facade with your choice of interior timber species for a unique "warm" feel to the space. Select from a number of horizontal and vertical mullion designs with wood or aluminum exterior mullion covers. The timber mullion system is completely pre-fabricated and factory-finished with a six-sided coating for a lasting high performance finish.

       

“With Fassaden glazed timber curtain wall you can combine two advantages; the excellent insulation of a timber interior and the weather resistance of an aluminum exterior. An inspired combination which lasts a lifetime.”
