Synstone concrete panels are not only for new construction but can give aged buildings a fresh, new look. Synstone panels were initially only used in retrofit projects. From 1987-2010, 90% of panels installed were used in retrofit and reclad applications. With such a high amount of business dealing with the restoration of aged buildings, it is safe to say it is our specialty.
In the US and Canada, governments at all levels have made it clear that improved energy efficiency of buildings is critical for the following reasons:
- Energy cost savings and payback
- Fuel use savings - for space heating, make-up air and cooling
- Electricity savings - by season, peak and off-peak
- Potential reductions in HVAC equipment sizing
- Contribution to energy savings from air sealing measures
- Approximate greenhouse gas emission reductions
Keep in mind, a retrofit project can be completed without shutting down the building!
