CSIC Donosti | Mireia Botifoll - The Inox in Color

ECO-FRIENDLY ARCHITECTURAL MESH New CSIC headquarters in San Sebastian was projected by architect Xavier Aguilar. It is a four-story complex with more than 4,500 Square Meters. Most innovative materials have been specified in it. Eco-friendly characteristics were key question in specification process. Main façade of new CSIC building have been covered with WEBER-440 Architectural Mesh by The Inox in Color. WEBER-440 has main prominence in it with its light games and a sea weaves illusion. This special effect was achieved by installing this mesh in opposite zigzag positioned upper and inferior fixing substructures. Raw material used to manufacture WEBER-440 was AISI-316L Stainless Steel, suitable for outdoor applications by the seacoast. WEBER-440, is a flexible architectural mesh with a medium open area, it works perfectly as second skin of the building with dramatic sunscreen properties. AISI-316L Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable material. Environmentally-friendly architecture is every day a more relevant question. That is why Architectural Meshes by The Inox in Color are becoming more and more popular and why they are being specified more frequently. WEBER-440 in CSIC Headquarters helps to significantly reduce thermal contrasts inside the building. Not only aesthetic question (modern technical appearance) was considered by architect Xavier Aguilar when specifying WEBER-440 but specially its ability to provide the building with highest energy-saving rates by optimizing cooling consumption.
