An international collaborating trio builds protective facades for skyscrapers and overcomes such daunting challenges as tight schedules and intricate building designs.
When Enclos, a US design, engineering and installation firm, secured the deal to build the curtain walls, or protective facades (see sidebar), of two high-profile skyscrapers in 2006, it knew exactly who to turn to for help.
“Our manufacturer in Thailand, Envelex, was looking for a highquality supplier of gaskets,” recalls Dan Green, Enclos’s US West Coast General Manager. Gaskets are elastomer seals wedged between a curtain wall’s frame and its glass panels, which prevent air and water from leaking into the building. “We recommended Envelex to contact Mike Scanlon and Trelleborg EPG since it is one of our preferred gasket suppliers. The US-based Trelleborg company has consistently provided quality materials, prompt response and proactive design input.”
