Overview

The facade is the first thing people see and the first line of defense against sun, dust and heat. We engineer and build cladding systems that look right on day one and keep performing through the Riyadh climate, with joints, brackets and drainage details designed for thermal movement and wind load.

Where it goes

Built for real
conditions.

We work from the architect's design intent to full shop drawings, then fabricate panels in our workshop and install them with our own crews. Panel sizes, joint patterns, perforation designs and colors are set to the project, not taken from a catalog.
