Profile Options: ATMOSPHERE™ Variability combined with functional sustainability Atmosphere brings a new perspective to sustainable fagade systems. Ideally suited to both new construction and retrofit applications, Atmosphere E-| reduces the impact of solar energy entering the building by up to 78%1, hence reducing the energy consumed by HVAC equipment for comfort control. The visual impact Atmosphere can offer the external face of the building, is unrivalled. Created using a series of perforated elements, each floating beyond the external envelope of the building, Atmosphere offers a light textural element....

Constructability The design of the tensioned cable support structure provides for superior constructability. The Atmosphere system is installed in less than half the time of an equivalent facade canvas. Atmosphere elements can be fitted to the cables, utilising the patent protected fixing system, while still on the ground, and then lifted 'in stacks' and attached to the facade. Watch the time lapse video of an installation on YouTube. Communication Incorporate an image that portrays the message or vision of your project. Atmosphere can be designed to incorporate Locker Group’s popular Pic Perfoffering. Protection...
