FCB large format cladding layout case study
A solution for FCB large format thin cladding
BILDA fixing system's more specific solutions like prefurring of large size thin panels can be easily customized to meet any project needs. One practical example of this feature in action is the new building next to the refurbished historical building of Empire State Dairy in Broocklyn, New York, with 2 400m2, 8mm thick FCB panels - both "landscape" and "portrait" oriented. The whole cladding project is designed by BILDA Team including the special design of the window frames. The facade static calculations were prepared according to the USA standards.
