Erie offers the most innovative and adaptable product solutions for any façade project. Through the progressive development of our ENVIRO|FACADES® product family, we are able to (we continually) deliver custom solutions which meet and exceed any design challenge or performance requirement. We leverage the use of our in-house engineering team to continually develop and validate technological advancements for integration into our curtain wall systems. This commitment to innovation has made our ENVIRO|FACADES® curtain wall the product of choice for high-performance custom facades.
Solutions – Original
BLAST AND PRESSURE MITIGATION
Erie has over 10 years of experience providing façade solutions specifically designed to mitigate blast and high-pressure threats to building security. We have supplied built applications for General Services Administration, Department of Defense, embassies, airports, and multiple other public and private buildings. Our in-house engineering team utilizes proprietary and commercial analytics to safely and confidently design curtain wall systems which are independently validated by 3rd party testing agencies.
THERMAL PERFORMANCE
Erie has actively prioritized thermal performance of its facades since the emergence of its ENVIRO|FACADES® product family. Our curtain wall systems offer the best-in-class thermal performance making the EF-Series an ideal building solution for either performance enhancing remodels or modernized new builds. Our NFRC-certified engineering team performs detailed thermal and condensation dew point analytics of the building envelope using the industry’s latest methods and software.
COMPLEX FORMS
An architect’s vision cannot be achieved without a well-designed façade system. Erie provides just that – the freedom of true architectural expression. Modern 3D designing and planning methods are utilized at Erie as a means to explore intricate facades and develop the intimate details of the curtain wall system. From highly complex geometry to large unitized panels, our systems are highly adaptable to achieve the latest architectural expressions.
LARGE SCALE PROJECTS
Technological improvements in building construction and advanced materials research have allowed architects to expand the envelope of what was considered a traditional building. Erie’s advanced manufacturing plant has the capacity and technical proficiency to meet strict schedule requirements involving high-volume deliveries on large scale projects. Our curtain wall systems have demonstrated the capability to support high-rise towers and wide sprawling developments alike while adhering to stringent budgetary requirements.
HURRICANE AND IMPACT RESISTANCE
Environmental hazards have always presented a major challenge to façade design and construction. Erie has experience in providing customized façade solutions catered to developments along the East-Coast of the United States and Florida. Our ENVIRO|FACADES® system is designed to accommodate a variety of countermeasures to mitigate hurricane and wind-borne debris damage to the building façade and more importantly protecting the building’s occupants.
SEISMIC SUPPRESSION
Maintaining structural integrity and performance of a curtain wall system that is subjected to seismic events poses a major design challenge. Erie has relied on its engineering prowess to develop and validate façade systems that meet the stringent West-Coast standards of seismic performance. We utilize our in-house testing facility to push our ENVIRO|FACADES® to new limits ensuring that our products are capable of remaining structurally sound while not compromising on performance and limiting architectural design intent.
