System families
Solid aluminium, perforated façades, laser-cut screens, fins and battens, honeycomb panels, mesh and expanded metal, weathering steel, and UHPC/GFRC pathways.
Specification Records / Global
Architectural Façades & Surface Systems — specification record.
This record organises the façade division around system families, project interfaces, evidence, drawing control, samples and tender requirements.

Direct answer
The short version.
Select the façade family by architectural role first—cladding, screening, shading or sculptural surface—then resolve substrate, support, panel geometry, finish, exposure and evidence around the actual project.
Project decision
What matters before product selection.
Use these points to structure the first project conversation. Final suitability stays tied to the actual site, selected system and local project team.
Project interfaces
Substrate, secondary steel, brackets, movement, panel joints, openings, corners, soffits, drainage and adjacent trades require project coordination.
Tender evidence
Material data, finish information, drawings, samples, mock-ups and performance evidence should be assembled around the exact selected family rather than generic division claims.

Frequently asked
Answers without oversimplifying the project.
Is there one standard façade build-up?
No. Build-up changes by material family, geometry, support and project requirements.
Can Apollo work from architect drawings?
Yes. Concept geometry can be reviewed against fabrication and system constraints.
Are compliance claims generic across the division?
No. Evidence must be tied to the exact product/system and project context.
Next step
Turn the research into a real project brief.
Send the site, dimensions, intended use, quantities and known local requirements. Apollo will review the relevant product pathway and keep local engineering, approvals and site-work responsibilities explicit.
