Façade panels from Steni have a 60-year functional warranty. That means minimal building maintenance – just simple cleaning – and therefore lower lifetime costs.
The panels are made of fibreglass reinforced polymer composite, a combination of materials with different properties that together produce an extremely strong and durable final product. Polymer composite is increasingly being used in the production of automobiles, boats and aircraft. It is also becoming more and more popular for products that are exposed to extreme stress.
STENI façade panels can be installed all year round, regardless of temperature and weather conditions. The panels are frost and moisture resistant and can be immersed in water for longer periods without damage.
We have lots of sun and lots of salt from the sea – and these panels can take it all.Yngve Sletten, Skanska
The Hjørnet youth club in the municipality of Roskilde in Denmark was built nine years ago, but its façade was not strong enough to withstand the impacts from the ball games that club members were always playing, and the club was constantly replacing damaged panels. The local council is now hoping to completely avoid this not inconsiderable expense by changing to more robust façade panels.
A thoroughly planned and holistic renovation programme won Granstangen housing cooperative the 2012 OBOS Renovation Award.
