Sentech is thrilled to unveil our latest product release- the VetraFin-W specialty facade system. Wood and glass unite in this latest product application to combine facade transparency with a soft, warm, sustainable aesthetic- creating a refuge to relax in and communicate with nature while reducing the carbon footprint. With the ability to utilize a variety of wood species, and virtually any type of glass imaginable, our VetraFin-W system allows for abundant natural light, while exuding warmth and a sense of spatial depth to any facade or overhead application.
Combining mass timber with structural glass in facade applications creates a contrast between the two materials that not only adds distinctive textures and environmental balance, but also creates a dynamism to the daylight and shadows at play throughout the day.
This product application prioritizes resource optimization via the use of low embodied carbon, sustainable, renewable components. With no size limitations to the wood fins, VetraFin-W can be designed for use in high-seismic environments, in both residential and commercial applications, and with an unlimited number of wood finish options.
