Aluminum Facades in Chicago

We design, fabricate, and install aluminum facades in Chicago and across the broader Chicagoland metro. We are a project-based facade partner serving the region, focused on delivering cladding systems that meet the thermal, structural, and aesthetic demands of building in the Midwest’s most architecturally significant city.

From Fulton Market adaptive reuse projects and the Loop’s high-rise replacement envelope work to suburban office parks and healthcare campuses in DuPage and Lake counties, we work with architects, contractors, and developers to bring durable, well-detailed facade systems to completion.

A facade partner for the Chicago metro

Chicago sets a high bar - architecturally and technically. The city’s legacy of structural innovation means design teams here expect facade partners who understand how systems are put together, not just how they look. We bring engineering depth and fabrication precision to every engagement.

• Design and engineering - system selection, thermal performance coordination, wind load review, and shop drawings developed with your project team.
• In-house fabrication - panels and extrusions fabricated to tight tolerances and scheduled around your installation sequence.
• Installation - experienced crews delivering fire-compliant, weather-tested rainscreen assemblies from mobilization to closeout.

Built for Chicago conditions

Chicago’s climate and construction environment place real demands on the facade.

• Freeze-thaw performance. Chicago winters drive deep frost cycling. Joints, fasteners, and drainage details must accommodate thermal movement without allowing moisture infiltration at the wall assembly level. We design aluminum cladding systems with appropriate expansion allowances and drained cavities.
• Wind loads. The “Windy City” is not a myth for facade engineers. Facades on exposed towers and mid-rise buildings in Chicago must withstand sustained lateral pressure. We specify structural subframing and panel anchoring designed for the local wind exposure categories.
• Snow and ice management. Freeze-thaw at canopies and soffits creates loading and drainage conditions that require careful detailing. Aluminum soffits in Chicago applications are detailed for drainage continuity and thermal bridging control.
• Urban logistics. Dense urban sites - particularly in the Loop and Fulton Market - require coordinated deliveries, staged material handling, and efficient crane schedules. We plan fabrication sequencing to match your site’s access and schedule realities.

Systems we deliver

Aluminum panels suit the clean, large-format aesthetic common in Chicago commercial and mixed-use projects. Aluminum wall cladding covers broad elevations with consistent performance, aluminum battens add depth and horizontal or vertical rhythm, and aluminum soffits finish canopies and overhangs with the precision this market expects.
