Formerly composed of mostly brick, a 2-story wing wall feature now is clad with Envelope 2000 silver metal panels. Approximately 2,500 square feet of the composite panel, which consists of two aluminum skins bonded to a thermoset phenolic resin core, was installed.

The Retrofit
While working on an extensive interior renovation, the facility opted to update the exterior, too. The metal panels, which lend a more modern look to the building entrance, face a busy vehicular roundabout. The installer had to work on the substrate to tighten up some corners, ensuring the plywood had no gaps. With the ability to fabricate the metal onsite, the installer could be sure the pieces fit together well and were watertight.
