Commercial buildings
A commercial building has to do two jobs at once: perform technically, and make an impression before anyone steps through the door.
REX panels bring both together: reliable thermal performance, and the profiles, finishes and colours to build a facade worth looking at. For retail, offices and public-facing buildings on schedules that don’t move.
Judged on performance and on first impression
A shopping centre or office building isn’t judged only on how well it performs. It’s judged on how it looks, and on how it makes people feel when they walk in. That puts unusual pressure on the building envelope.
Energy efficiency still matters. With the amount of glazing and open space commercial buildings tend to have, it matters a great deal. But so does the facade, because it is often the first thing a customer, tenant or visitor sees.
And the schedule rarely gives way. Opening dates, leasing schedules and retail calendars are set long before the building is finished.
Built for two jobs at once
From facade finish to fire rating and tenant comfort. Discover what REX panels bring to a commercial project.
Architectural appearance
A wide range of profiles, finishes and colours lets the facade carry the building’s identity instead of hiding it.
Design options
Panels adapt to a range of layouts and building shapes, so the design does not have to be simplified to suit the envelope.
Energy efficiency
Large glazed surfaces and constant footfall push energy costs up fast. Panel insulation keeps the rest of the envelope from adding to the bill.
Occupant comfort
Stable indoor temperatures and reduced noise transmission make a difference to tenants, staff and visitors. Every day the building is in use.
Fire safety
Certified fire-rated solutions help meet the requirements that apply to commercial and public-facing buildings.*
*Performance depends on panel type and core material specification.
Tenant appeal
A well-finished facade and a comfortable indoor climate help attract and retain tenants, which is what occupancy rates rest on.
