Project Portfolio: Solving Challenges, Delivering Results
Porsche Center Espoo, Finland
Consistency Across Complexity
Challenge:
The project required façade cladding cassettes made of anodized aluminum sheets. Protecting the delicate anodized finish during rolling was a significant technical challenge. Additionally, maintaining consistent color across multiple batches of anodized material posed a sourcing issue.
Solution:
By working with experienced personnel and implementing transfer media on rollers, the anodized surface was protected from damage during the rolling process. To address color consistency, a supplier capable of guaranteeing uniform finishes across batches was selected, ensuring the material met the project’s aesthetic standards.Outcome:
These measures ensured the seamless and consistent appearance of the façade, meeting the client’s quality expectations and contributing to the premium image of the Porsche Center Espoo.
