To better visualize the façade’s geometry, Gensler generated a computerized model to help with panel depth, joining, and patterning. Parametric components were set up and placed into a grid system based on four control points that conform to the elliptical geometry.

Fluropon coatings may be applied to a number of pretreated substrates including: Galvalume®, Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) steel and aluminum.
All Fluropon coatings are ideal for external use on monumental, commercial, residential structures and pre-engineered buildings, including: Architectural and residential metal roofing systems and Composite and insulated metal wall panel systems.
Our Fluropon systems are available in a wide range of colors, sheens, gloss levels and special effects to achieve nearly any look you can dream up.
The mix and match system streamlines the color matching process. Instead of requiring multiple rounds of back and forth between Sherwin-Williams and Texas Finishing to get approval on the desired colors, Texas Finishing worked directly with the architect to determine the colors to use. With approved… Read More
All of the Center’s aluminum panels, vertical fins, coping, and trim were engineered and fabricated by MDSI. The custom jali pattern was seamlessly mapped onto the complex building geometry’s top panels. Moving from the digital to the physical, the pattern was laser-cut onto the aluminum… Read More
After the panels were produced and perforated, Linetec post-painted all of MDSI’s aluminum products using the selected Fluropon liquid architectural coatings to meet the high-performance specifications and precise aesthetic requirements. “MDSI and Linetec have had a long working relation… Read More
In total, Dri-Design manufactured 10,800 square feet of aluminum into 785 standard flat panels, custom trapezoid flat panels, and custom radius corner panels for 4220 Duncan. Finished by Metal Coater in Valflon Prismatic, Dri-Design fabricated the panels into a rain-screen system, which was fully te… Read More
In actuality, there were 52 different panel sizes configured to deliver on HOK’s architectural vision. Made from 0.080-inch-thick aluminum sheet, the largest panels’ dimensions were 120 inches wide by 20 inches tall for material optimization on Metal Coater’s coil coating equipment… Read More
In eye-catching Prismatic Blue, Valflon was the perfect architectural coating choice for the edgy entrance to Ryerson University’s Student Learning Center in historic Toronto.

“Early in the project’s design, we determined that this would be a modern take on the former industrial warehouses in the West Loop – kind of a warehouse for people. The gray color on the curtainwall framing and mullions mimics that sense of steel I-beams,” said Gensler’s principal, Brett Taylor.
