The Schüco FACID Facade is a cost effective, functional and flexible tensile mesh fabric solution offering opportunities to create a unique facade appearance adaptable to a wide variety of supporting surfaces on a range of building types. The FACID system can be overlaid on almost any facade type with a high level of design freedom to re-imagine and play with the building envelope to make a functional yet uniquely creative statement.

FACID is a non-flammable fabric that provides effective solar shading, while ensuring ventilation and transparency with clear views to the outside.  Lower cost options are available for low-flammable printable mesh fabric.

This innovative building envelope solution can make a design statement like no other. Offering numerous configuration options to create three-dimensional shapes, a spectrum of colours to select from, the ability to print text and artwork onto the fabric, as well as the ability to utilise the translucency of the fabric through effective lighting to create a striking night scene.

Thermosash manufactures here in New Zealand and installs all Schüco product using our own team of experienced people, ensuring you get not only a quality product but a continuation of our quality service.
