The UNIVERSE 9050 system for EQUITONE & TRESPA is a semi-unitized rainscreen facade system. The rainscreen modules are pre-fabricated in the UNIVERSE factory with high precision by skilled specialists. The 9050 system combines the factory quality of a unitized system and the design flexibility of a traditional rainscreen system

Extrusions pre-attached
to panels

No visible rivets

50% labor savings, 90% less drilling on-site

Perfect workshop made detailing

Easy to install

How does it work?

1. Field Engineering experts laser scan the structure.

Laser scanning uses laser pulses to capture precise 3D measurements of structures, enabling accurate modeling, faster surveys, and reduced construction errors.

2. Facade Engineers models the structure & future facade layout

The Facade Engineer communicates closely with the architect optimizing and streamlining the design intent. Output is an approved set of drawings.

3. Fully automated CNC cutting and drilling of the façade panels

Drawings are directly uploaded to the machines. This enables high-precision and high-productivity cutting even for very intricate designs.

4. Extrusions are riveted on the panels in the workshop.

Expert craftspeople assemble the extrusions with unmatched precision. Invisible rivets are standard.

5. Semi-unitized modules are delivered on the jobsite in protective crating.

Modules are delivered exactly when and where needed in the construction process and logically numbered.

6. Fast installation- saving over 50% installation time

Minimal extrusions installation on the jobsite. Zero panel riveting, 90% less drilling on the jobsite.

Quality of finish

Each panel is sanded with the proper tools and utmost care.
Edge sealing with protective coating for sensitive panels.

Logical packing & shipping

  • Each semi-unitized module has a unique number that indicated on the drawings, packing lists, crates and modules. "lego system"
  • Logical Shipment: delivery timing and location coordinated with construction progress.
