For the Italian headquarters of the multinational Thor, world leader in the chemicals sector, we created the curtain wall for this elegant building. The Schuco thermal break aluminium profiles are from the FW50 series in silver colour.
All windows are in spectrally selective low-e double glazed units to provide solar control. The supporting structure comprises trestles in white painted tubular steel.
