Sentech is pleased to announce that our latest product, VetraFin-W, has been named a winner of The Architect’s Newspaper’s Best of Product Awards. The award program, now in it’s 10th year, seeks to bring recognition to products that elevate and shape our current built environment, and featured 34 categories for submission. Sustainability was a key, uniting theme across all products that were selected as award winners.
Sentech’s VetraFin-W system, our latest product application, unites mass timber and glass in facade applications, creating a sense of spatial depth to any facade or overhead application. The combination of facade transparency with a soft, warm, sustainable aesthetic results in a refuge to relax in and communicate with nature while reducing the carbon footprint. This product system offers the ability to utilize a variety of wood species and virtually any type of glass imaginable. VetraFin-W allows for abundant natural light, and the contrast between the two materials- glass and wood- not only adds distinctive textures and environmental balance, but also creates a dynamism to the sunlight and shadows at play throughout the day.
This product application prioritizes resource optimization via the use of low embodied carbon, sustainable, renewable components. With no size limitations to the wood fins, VetraFin-W can be designed for use in high-seismic environments, in both residential and commercial applications, and with an unlimited number of wood finish options.
