What is the knowledge centre?

Our Knowledge Centre is a source of unbiased information about the architectural façade and solar shading industry.

In a nutshell: 

  • A source of unbiased information about the architectural façade and solar shading industry
  • Written by Maple for architects, contractors and customers
  • Understand more about the products, processes and practicalities in our sector
  • Choose from a range of topics or start to type your question

It’s been written to help architects, contractors and customers better understand the many products, processes and practicalities of our sector.

Unbiased? That’s our aim. So, while it would be easy to promote Maple’s unique skills and experience, we think it’s better to take a more balanced view. In short, we know our stuff – but we also recognise that Maple might not always be the best option for you.
