As
a major player in the curtain walling industry,
Milestone develops advanced facade systems. R&D
at Milestone is carried out not only for each
job or tender but also in a systematic manner
looking at all the aspects of an envelope
design: structural, thermal, acoustic,
day-lighting, energy, comfort. This research is
executed by means of advanced modelling tools
and/ or full scale test mock-ups. Mock-up tests
undertaken by Milestone - which include the
sustainability of proposed architectural
envelopes under wind-load, wind-tunnel and
seismic conditions - are carried out in world
class testing centers.
Thus, facades developed at Milestone are modern
in terms of acoustics, insulation, energy
efficiency and UV filtration. R&D activity does
not take place only at the research centers. It
is also stimulated by studies carried out in
collaboration with well-known architects during
the design and engineering phases and the
performance tests related to acquired contracts.
In research and application of innovative
eco-compatible technologies, Milestone
collaborates with important national
institutions, thus allowing for a constant
information flow and sharing of experiences. |
