A decorative architectural façade system with aerofoil or rectangular profiles. Offering numerous design options for all building types including ‘twisted’ variations that incorporate spring-loaded brackets.
key features
• Effective screening solution – Vertical fins hide steel framework and provide striking façades, particularly on data centres
• Multiple design options – Fins can be placed at different angles to manipulate natural light and add visual effects
• Comprehensive fixing options – Fins can fix back to concrete, curtain-walling, brick and steelwork
Vector® Twisted fin façade
For bespoke projects with complex design requirements, Vector twisted fins are the perfect solution. Spring-loaded brackets place the fins under tension to accommodate the live-loads common to multi-storey car parks, enabling practical and aesthetically-pleasing façades.
