PANELITE PRODUCT |
Bonded Series B-RCCS-T |
Challenge / Intent
- To enliven Lifetime’s administrative offices with a luminous interior meeting space and backlit feature walls
- To achieve a minimal aesthetic while reducing installation materials and costs with a flush detailed system.
Solution
Backlit feature wall: Panelite’s Bonded Series was specified with finished edges and a satin back facing to allow for silicone glazed vertical joints creating a seamless lit surface to activate the central spine of the office.
Environmental Facts
- Panelite Bonded Series honeycomb panels are highly resource-efficient, consisting of approximately 70-85% air by volume. The panels weigh only 1.25 lbs per square foot and can achieve greater spans than other sheet or panel materials due their structural honeycomb cores.
- Panelite materials contribute to LEED credits, including Daylighting and Views, and Innovation and Design
