high-tech façade engineering by seele

bringing complex geometry to fruition

advanced façade technologies for complex challenges — seamless digital processes — fast response in real time — improved collaboration through digital tools

Advanced façade design: Our digital processes efficiently convert 3D data into precise manufacturing workflows that enable precise on-site installation and set benchmarks for quality and efficiency. Using state-of-the-art technologies and comprehensive know-how, we turn architectural visions into reality.

ISOshade® – the advanced closed cavity façade

ISOshade® – made for performance

façade unit with integrated sunblinds — interface to building management system — simple and smart

ISOshade® meets all the requirements for a high-performance and energy-efficient double-skin façade. ISOshade® is a façade that performs: effective sound insulation, reduced heat loss and efficient solar control. Designed like conventional insulating glass, ISOshade® complements our portfolio as a product that keeps pace with technological advances and undergoes continuous development. More about ISOshade®

more about ISOshade®
simple and smart
ISOshade® consists of triple glazing plus a sunblind integrated into the cavity. A specially developed pressure equalisation system regulates climate loads and pressure differences.

kinetic façades and retractable roofs

kinetIQ – architecture in motion

vertical façades — horizontal façades — retractable roofs — drive technologies — large-scale façades

Movable structures embody the symbiosis of cutting-edge technology, exceptional functionality and aesthetic excellence. Their realisation requires extensive expertise in structural engineering, material sciences, mechanics and electronics. Specialised knowledge of the mechanisms behind movable components, such as sliding or pivot doors, is crucial. A comprehensive understanding of safety requirements and aesthetic design completes the skill set needed to successfully implement kinetic façade projects. With kinetIQ seele is continually expanding its expertise in non-standard, movable façade and retractable roofs and offers the complete range of services from design and manufacture to assembly and commissioning.

manufacturing

quality is measurable

in-depth material knowledge — extensive manufacturing capabilities — exceptional precision — customised one-off production — comprehensive quality management

In our production centres, manufacturing and automation procedures are seamlessly integrated and supported by continuous 3D computer-based technology. Thanks to the integration of all processes, our clients can rely on smooth operations, utmost precision and dimensional accuracy. With 77,000 sqm of production space, a highly skilled team and state-of-the-art machinery, we master any challenge.

on-demand production
With 3D printing, parts can be manufactured as needed and in small quantities. We utilise this production method to make not only prototypes, but also custom components and even negative moulds for specialised seals.

RFID tracking

real-time supervision

efficient logistics for large-scale projects — real-time monitoring — logistics optimisation — automated inventory management


seele uses RFID technology to optimise the delivery of components. Transponders on the components enable automated inventory management. RFID labels are scanned at various locations, from production to the construction site. This digital logistics concept enables real-time monitoring and facilitates installation. The technology marks a milestone in seele’s digital transformation.
