Innovation has been a cornerstone of EXTECH’s approach. In 1996, the company took a significant step forward by being awarded a patent for an overlapping framing system for glazing elements. This advancement set a new benchmark for the performance of glazing in skylight and canopy systems, providing superior air and water resistance.
At the time, advancements in glazing technology focused on improving weather resistance and durability. The patented system was unique to a version of EXTECH’s skylight and canopy system framing, designed to enhance the integration and performance of glazing elements.
The patent is a key achievement in EXTECH’s commitment to high-performance daylighting and glazing solutions. Over the years, the company has continued to develop weather-resistant systems that meet the evolving needs of commercial facades, transportation hubs, and industrial buildings.
This innovation reflects EXTECH’s dedication to problem-solving and delivering high-quality architectural solutions. The 1996 patent stands as an example of the company’s drive to advance glazing technology and improve building performance.
