Kestel Textile Headquarters

A five-storey headquarters was built on the factory site of a long-established textile maker in Kestel, with a horizontally banded facade reflecting its corporate identity. The opaque sections between the ribbon windows were clad in composite panels.

What we installed

• Semi-structural facade (capped vertically, silicone joints horizontally), 2,400 m²
• A2-class composite panels, 1,400 m², with fire barriers at floor lines
• A 7.2 m wide LS190 lift-and-slide opening from the boardroom to the terrace

Note

As the building sits on a working factory site, installation was scheduled for a 06:00–14:00 shift so as not to disrupt production logistics, and crane operations were moved to weekends.

The composite panels were produced in a shade matched to the client's corporate colours, and the approved sample panel was kept in the site office as a reference. The whole facade was handed over in 11 weeks, on the planned date.
