Project + Building Compatibility
Project Type
Both existing building retrofit and new construction
Essential Building Characteristics
Building exterior needs to be as flat as possible (square geometry ideally), and without obstructions (e.g., fire escapes, protruding architectural elements, balconies).
Building needs to be at least 15 stories in height, punched windows preferred.
Ideal Building Characteristics
Buildings looking to either reskin the entire building or at minimum replace the windows preferred.
Minimum Project Size
Typically, 30-40k sq/ft of facade is the minimum project size.
Ideal Project Size
Mid- to high-rise multifamily or commerical building.
Dextall's panel system works best when owners are looking to upgrade multiple building systems in tandem, where the envelope can amplify the benefits of other measures.
Additional Considerations
Dextall typically handles building surveying internally using Surveyor, ensuring accurate measurements for design and prefabrication of wall panels.
NY Contractor Availability
Dextall has a certified installer program and is available to reference trained installers.
Other Screening Criteria
Dextall generally does not work with landmark-style buildings with permanent architectural features unless the plan is to completely reskin and remove the existing facade.
