Developing sustainable facade materials that protect environmental elements such as heat, wind, and rain drives the demand for innovative solutions. The choice of facade material significantly influences the overall appearance and functionality of a building. Given the increasing emphasis on safety and ambience in corporate and hospitality sectors, the demand for facade products in commercial buildings is expected to remain high in the foreseeable future.
