Façades

Façades give buildings a face. They are a defining design character for the architectural concept and combine aesthetics with modern building technology and environmental awareness.

We implement modern architecture with technology. As a leading international façade construction company, our core competency lies in modern element façade construction. Implementing a harmonious façade is the perfect way to make the building into a successful structure. The materials which can be utilised are numerous and varied: high-quality and unique façades made of aluminium, steel, glass, natural stone or single-shell alloys accentuate the building visually and, at the same time, fulfil the highest international environmental standards through the use of the latest thermal insulation technologies.

We create new large-scale projects or revitalise older buildings by refurbishing them with our façade elements. With our high-level of production know how, the innovative in-house design department, a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and worldwide mobile assembly teams, we are setting new benchmarks in our business segment. After the construction phase, FKN customers benefit from our outstanding service capabilities. Façades are more than just a building envelope as far as we are concerned.

Element Façades

The use of element façades is preferred today, as this results in extremely short construction times for many projects. Element façade constructions permit efficient manufacturing and rapid final assembly at the construction site using construction cranes or truck-mounted cranes or manipulators. Normally, element façades are at least one storey high and include all the relevant components of a façade, such as glass, insert elements and solar protection. The façades can either be designed as single or as double-shell constructions.
