Façade screens + surfaces
Perforated panels, fins, battens, cladding and custom surface systems can manage visual identity, screening and solar exposure.
Singapore / Decision guide
Façade screen, architectural glass or operable opening system?
These systems can appear beside each other on the same building but they solve different envelope and user-experience problems. Start with what the façade zone needs to screen, reveal, ventilate, open or protect.
Destination-specific planning Manual project review Exact-system evidence only
Direct answer
The short version.
Use architectural façade systems when the primary problem is cladding, screening, fins or surface expression; LYSVAR when transparent guard, enclosure or glass architecture leads; and TREVIK when the project needs a moving opening, canopy or closure system.
Project decision
Separate the pathways before asking for pricing.
These comparisons are designed to narrow the project route. They do not replace local engineering, authority review or exact-system technical evidence.
LYSVAR glass
Use when transparency, balustrade, partition, enclosure or architectural glazing is the central requirement.
TREVIK openings
Use when movement, access, transparent commercial closure, canopy or operable building-edge behaviour is required.
Comparison matrix
Envelope-system roles
A project may combine all three systems in separate zones.
| Need | Façade systems | LYSVAR | TREVIK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opaque / screened surface | Strong | No | Limited |
| Transparency | Limited | Core | Strong in selected systems |
| Operability | Usually fixed | Usually fixed | Core |
| Consultant interface | Façade / structural | Glass / safety | Opening / controls / structure |

Frequently asked
Keep the destination and scope explicit.
Does Apollo recommend one system for every Singapore project?
No. The decision page is a shortlisting tool. Final suitability depends on the actual site, use, dimensions, exposure, selected system, available evidence and local project requirements.
Who handles local engineering, approvals and installation?
Apollo is supply-led. Local engineering, approvals, foundations, services, installation and other site works remain with the appointed local project team unless a written project scope expressly includes something different.
Is pricing calculated automatically from this guide?
No. Apollo uses a manual project-brief process so the selected system, quantities, destination, freight and project interfaces are reviewed before pricing.
Next step
Turn the shortlist into a destination-specific brief.
Send the site, dimensions, use, quantities, exposure information and known local requirements. Apollo can then review the relevant systems, evidence, freight and supply scope.
