    HUNTER Douglas has long been known the world over for the cutting-edge design and functionality of its window fashions. 

    “Architects find that our products meet their challenging tasks of addressing both their design and efficacy requirements,” says Gigi Anne Lapira, president and general manager of Hunter Douglas Philippines.

    It is also the brand of choice of architects who are looking for innovative architectural products that address the form and function needs of their ceiling, cladding and sun control needs.             

    The Netherlands-based company’s Luxalon Ceiling, Cladding and Sun Louvre Systems have been employed in countless residential, business and commercial establishments in close to 100 countries.

    Ceiling systems

    LuxaLon has blazed the trail when it comes to ceiling systems with its self-developed products since the 1960s.  With its various design options—from form and size to finish and color—it provides the most comprehensive choices when it comes to aesthetic needs. 

    “Some establishments have the most meticulous requirements when it comes to their ceilings and Luxalon’s wide-ranging choices help address them,” says Lapira.

    The Luxalon Ceiling System includes linear, wide panel, tile, cell and exterior ceiling products which may be found in some of the world’s most popular buildings.

    Its wide panel ceilings, with their distinct, smooth look, are used in the offices of PriceWaterhouse Coopers in the United States, while its uniquely designed open cell systems line the Guangzhou International Events Center in China.  Other establishments which have employed the Luxalon Ceiling Systems include the Messe Munchen International in Germany, Chase Bank in the United States, and the Radisson SAS Hotel in Denmark.

    Cladding systems

    Luxalon’s Cladding Systems are likewise the top choice when it comes to high-tech and custom-made façades systems that can withstand high wind loads.  As with the ceiling systems, it offers the widest selections when it comes to addressing design and functionality requirements with its various panel skins and surfaces.

    The Hertel building in France makes use of the multiple panel façade system, which create strong, weather-resistant exteriors for quick assembly and flexibility of design. The Bioscience Lab in the United Kingdom, meanwhile, has Luxalon’s sandwich wall façade, which come in a wide range of panel shapes, colors and sizes.

    Sun Louvre systems

    Luxalon’s Sun Louvre System, meanwhile, offer facades that control and make the best use of sunlight.  They are engineered for vertical, angled or horizontal applications to meet the requirements of any design.

    Enhancing the façade of a building while at the same time providing an integrated climate control, it comes in four lines—the Aerofins, Panel, Skylight Louvre and Custom Louvre.

    Among the establishments that have made use of the Luxalon Sun Louvre products include the Reebok International Distribution Center in the Netherlands and the University of Calgary and the L’Oréal headquarters in Canada.
