Sharing our expertise from design to implementation, highlighted with practical issues and challenges learned from experience.

Facade Hardware is generally restricted to a handful of international brands that have good track records. However, premium brands do not guarantee their designs for local challenges. Just relying on brand value alone may not be adequate to take care of design safety. We have witnessed several failures that used premium branded hardware.

Unfortunately, there is no one- stop solution for façade-integrated operable systems; for example, a brand that makes handles and locks does not necessarily have robust, reliable stay arms. Therefore, just relying on a supplier team, with their commercial interest to sell their own products, may not be the right solution.

Due to these challenging requirements, a pick-and-choose approach may work better with proper integration and assembly, which may yield the best of everything. However, these require deeper involvement of façade designers, good experience, deep integration techniques, coordination, etc,.
