Special Performance

Share this...

We’re happy to be involved from the earliest stages of high-performance projects to ensure that even the most challenging requirements are achieved. We can provide you with the necessary assistance for product selection criteria, engineering expertise and guidance through to the project’s completion.
 
More often, projects have multiple performance needs. As examples:

• Government buildings in the Southeast that need both hurricane and blast mitigation,
• Facilities meeting California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) seismic requirements plus enhanced protection for psychiatric patients
• Schools seeking acoustic comfort for quiet learning spaces in the near arctic climates.

• Take Wausau’s AIA/CES course on “Protective Windows”
