3-Dimensional Drafting and Modeling Technologies
Advanced 3-D modeling and software technologies allow Enclos' engineering team, project managers and field personnel to visualize how parts and wall systems come together at complex interfaces.
Field Method Installation
Enclos has perfected numerous installation methods for our industry defining curtainwall units over the past quarter-century, each customized to the project. Here a floor crane animation articulates one method.
Field Quality Assurance Training
Training for each field installer follows Enclos' best practice regime to guarantee optimum quality control.
Enclos' in-house team of engineers use finite models to determine the appropriate stresses and deflections of advanced structural curtainwall systems
Hurricane Resistant Facades
Dade County codes require curtainwalls to withstand simulated wind loads and flying debris characteristic of hurricanes. Enclos has developed 8 different wall types that meet these stringent requirements
Building energy performance is primarily influenced by enclosure systems and mechanical solutions to treat the interior space. As the market continues to progress towards sustainable solutions, the evolution of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating system continues to force evolution in the strategies and technologies of building skins.

Blast Resistant Technology
Enclos has developed and tested blast resistant facade and curtainwall systems for more than 10-years.
The use of Building Information Modeling (or BIM) has demonstrated favorable impact on both design and construction phases of projects, improving quality, lowering costs and reducing schedules. This has been evidenced as especially true when the project team involves specialists early in the design process, creating a collaborative environment where the impact of design decisions on a project can be accurately simulated early on.

This building type presents a number of unique considerations, including large floor-to-floor spans to accommodate extensive mechanical systems, intensive coordination with MEP throughout the design and build process, and logistics often requiring facilities to remain operational throughout construction.
