Schüco produces high-end solutions for windows, doors, and façades around the globe. For their head office in Germany, Printable Technical Textiles printed the substrate for the textile facade mounted on their “FACID” façade system.

The result is not only an eye-catching facelift of their office building but also an excellent reference for how the FACID extrusions can be applied. To promote this system, Schüco demanded the highest printed quality. Printable delivers unrivaled USPs for printed technical textiles with their SolidskinTec printing process.

The building is a beautiful example of the possibilities textile offers for architecture. Besides the character it adds to the building, textile applications can offer practical advantages too. The translucent façades can protect from direct sunlight, UV radiation, and heat entering the building without blocking the outside world.

Check the advantages tensile architecture can offer.

Deichmann Flagship Store facade

In 2018, Koch Membranen was challenged by the Deichmann Group to create a new fabric facade consisting of as many as five shades of green from the shoe chain’s corporate identity.

After all, the specified technical textile from Serge Ferrari (Frontside View 381 mesh) was not standardly available in these shades of green.

Beyond the sustainable facade

A PES/PVC fabric facade as a flexible second skin around a building is one of the most cost-effective solutions, as it can retain up to 80% of the heat from the sun. It’s a low-cost solution compared to other facade claddings, and it offers a higher degree of customization as the fabrics can be printed with any pattern or design. They are characterized by their lightweight, high durability, flexibility, and resistance to different weather conditions.

When new buildings are designed and built, architects and constructors must consider the future in terms of climate change. They have a crucial responsibility to design sustainable facades, and energy-efficient structures, and to take active measures that are thoroughly low-carbon (and ideally carbon-neutral). These measures have to take into account the building process, but also, and more important in terms of impact, the use of the building.

Our love for glass in architecture is a clear example. Not too long ago, architects chose fully glass facades as the solution. Simple, elegant, and cost-effective, glass was the first choice for a lot of buildings. But it renders inefficiency in energy use. Full-height glazing lets in a substantial amount of light, but also a great deal of heat, which then requires air-conditioning -itself a generator of heat- to correct this problem.

Nowadays, architects are changing their approach to this matter. New energy-saving sources of light (LED) are reducing the need for attracting as much light as needed into the building, saving a lot of heat buildup. But we still would like to see our world from our building. Through shading constructions, a sustainable facade can prevent a lot of heat from entering the building, reducing the strain on the climate control systems in the building.

sustainable facades

80% heat reduction from solar effects with fabric facades.

A PES/PVC fabric sustainable facade as a flexible second skin around a building is one of the most cost-effective solutions, as it can retain up to 80% of the heat from the sun. It’s a low-cost solution compared to other facade claddings, and it offers a higher degree of customization as the fabrics can be printed with any pattern or design. They are characterized by their lightweight, high durability, flexibility, and resistance to different weather conditions.

Thanks to a shallow ecological footprint, fabric facades are an ideal application to make the building and renovation industry more sustainable. The idea that PVC-containing materials should be excluded in the search for sustainable materials in the construction industry does not apply in the case of polyester/PVC facade mesh. This material has a technical lifespan of 18-30 years. Producers offer recycling programs to process waste and replacement materials fully. And thanks to the temperature control and lighter substructure required, energy and costs are saved. As such, fabric sustainable facade actively contributes to achieving environmental certifications in the construction sector. Think of LEED, HQE, and BREEAM.

More benefits from fabric sustainable facades.

As mentioned above the flexibility offered by fabric facade systems. Depending on the design, the facade mesh fulfills various primary functions, like noise reduction, windshields, and heat shields. But also visual functions as a branding or communication tool. Collaborations with (local) artists that can be applied by print both to the inside and outside of the facade.

Next-generation is taking Nitrogen out of the environment.

At this moment, a pilot project is done by RWTH Aachen University supported by the Institute for Textile Technology Aachen (ITA) on a facade of an ECE office building in Hamburg. This textile sustainable facade has been treated with an additional coating with nano-titanium oxide. The coating binds the harmful nitrogen oxides that pollute the air through car emissions. The act not only binds nitrogen oxides but also helps to reduce the CO2 emission of the 22-year-old building: Studies have shown that this new mesh fabric building envelope can reduce up to 78 percent of the solar cooling loads of buildings in summer.

Otto Fuchs KG is the parent company of Schüco International. However, most people will know the company from the Fuchs wheel rims used by Porsche. Besides a new office building, a 3000 m2 production site was built in Meinerzhagen (Germany) in 2020. Printable Technical Textiles was asked to print its tensile architecture fabric facade.

The company Hillebrandt Stahl- und Behälterbau approached us to print this 1325 m2 tensile architecture fabric facade on Serge Ferrari’s Frontside View 381 mesh with our unique SolidskinTec print en polyurethane fusion process. SolidskinTec makes the print and textile resistant to weather influences such as UV radiation, wind, and rain. Given the historical connection between the companies, it was no surprise that Schüco’s FACID 65 facade system was used to install the fabric facade.

The design of the tensile architecture fabric facade illustrates Otto Fuchs’ DNA, consisting of a line pattern representing chains of molecules complemented by hints to the materials the company works with; Al for aluminum, Cu for copper, etc. Thanks to our unique printing process, Otto Fuchs now enjoys a stunning facade with a 10-year warranty on UV resistance, dirt-repellent properties, and appearance.

The central railway station of the city of Almere is one of the region’s main hubs. It will become even more critical in the coming years, as Almere grows and the regional public transport will be extended.

ProRail is the Dutch task organization responsible for maintaining and extending the national railway network infrastructure. They decided the current outdated station (completed in 1987) needed an upgrade to match its character with the region’s growing importance. Moreover, in 2022 the famous Dutch flower exposition “Floriade” will be hosted in Almere, and of course, the first impression of arriving visitors in Almere should be a good one.

The first renovation initiative was taken in January 2018; ProRail contracted Buitink Technology to replace a significant part of the hood with printed textiles. This also offered an excellent opportunity to add ambiance and design to the new building, which will be renovated step by step, becoming the greenest station in the Netherlands at its completion.
