Global Façade Market to Reach 412.16 Billion by 2032

Façade is the exterior face or wall of a building, especially the principal front. It is an interface between the internal and external environments of the building. Some of the most common materials used for cladding modern city buildings are glass, stainless steel, fibre, etc. Along with an aesthetic look, it provides a sustainable, cost-effective and high-quality exterior.

Advancements in technology have led to the introduction of an innovative dynamic façade system, Energy Frames. It is developed based on the experiences of several specially designed solutions. The frames can be moved vertically or horizontally in front of the window, thereby solving the fundamental functions of façades like daylight control, noise reduction, natural ventilation and solar shading. They are suitable for new as well as renovation projects in corporate headquarters, institutions, office buildings, etc.

Technology has also created a panoply of approaches to façade construction and design ranging from kinetic façades and curved glass to fibre-reinforced materials and weathered steel. For instance, Al Bahr Towers in Abu Dhabi consists of umbrella-like panels which open and close in response to the sun’s movements to achieve optimal light and shade entering the building. Moreover, advanced manufacturing techniques and new CAD technology have led to the production of curved glass at low cost. In addition to this, GFRP and GFRC are now being used to increase sustainability credentials. Some of the popular examples are Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku and St. Botolph Building in London.
