We offer technical solutions to accelerate the development and validation of façades and enclosures, ensuring that they comply with the applicable requirements and regulations.
We carry out a full characterisation and we have various test benches of different dimensions to test real-scale enclosure prototypes:
- Curtain walls
- Ventilated façades
- Skylights
- Enclosures in general
We have state-of-the-art laboratories for fire performance, structural resistance, AEV, acoustic, thermal, accelerated ageing, on-site testing of façades, etc.
