Engineering Plastics

Durable, Versatile & High-Performance

Overview

Engineering plastics bring versatility and performance where metals cannot – offering lightweight strength, impact resistance, thermal isolation, and machinability.

At Façade Creations, our plastics portfolio is designed specifically for façade applications, ensuring the right balance of mechanical properties and long-term stability. Supplied in sheets, rods, and tubes, these materials are easy to fabricate and adapt to bespoke project requirements.

Acetal (POM)

A high-strength, low-friction material perfect for moving parts within façade systems. Acetal provides excellent dimensional stability, making it ideal for rollers, seals, and load-bearing precision components.

Applications: curtain wall rollers, glazing gaskets, precision spacers

Nylon (Polyamide)

Renowned for toughness and wear resistance, nylon excels in high-load, abrasion-prone environments. It is widely used for façade mounting pads, bushings, and reinforcement parts.

Applications: thermal breaks, washers, façade cladding fixings.

PET / PETG

Durable and easily fabricated, PET and PETG sheets are lightweight alternatives suited to signage, display panels, and non-load bearing façade elements.

Applications: temporary façade panels, signage integration, protective overlays.

PTFE & Low-Friction Polymers

When ultra-low friction and high-temperature resistance are essential, PTFE-based polymers deliver. They provide excellent performance as sliding pads, isolators, and wear-resistant seals.

Applications: sliding track linings, expansion joints, structural isolators.
