Post-and-Beam
Façade Systems
Maximum Transparency & Modern Architectural Design for South African HomesGerman post-and-beam façade systems (Pfosten-Riegel-Fassaden) are the ideal solution for modern residential and commercial buildings in South Africa. They offer maximum transparency, large glass surfaces and elegant, slim profiles, perfectly suited to the South African lifestyle where natural light and open spaces are essential.
A post-and-beam façade is a structural glazing system made from load-bearing profiles. It allows for extra-large openings as well as complete glass façades with a refined, lightweight appearance. This system is particularly recommended where high installation heights, wide spans or complex roof structures are required.

Tailor-Made Construction
German post-and-beam façades offer exceptional flexibility.

Multiple infill options are available, including:

This makes it possible to create a façade solution that meets the highest architectural, energy efficiency and aesthetic requirements.
