Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Elemex® different from other architectural facade providers?
Elemex® offers four facade panel families (Solstex® solar, Ceramitex® sintered ceramic, Alumitex® aluminum and Stonitex® natural granite) on one attachment system, Unity®. Architects can combine materials on a single building without changing systems, and every Elemex® system is designed to be durable and low-maintenance on commercial, cultural and institutional projects.
The most suitable architectural facade materials will rely on what you are trying to achieve in your project. An example is ceramic panels, such as Ceramitex®, which are graffiti-resistant and durable, and Solstex®, which generates solar energy as part of sustainable modern architecture facades. Aluminum systems, such as Alumitex®, are lightweight and flexible, while natural stone facades, like Stonitex®, provide a traditional touch. Elemex® helps you in selecting the best combination to achieve your preferred architectural facade design, a blend of aesthetics and performance.
