S-Wall: The Retrofit Innovation Taking NYC by Storm
A Solution Tailored for NYC Challenges
NYC’s Local Law 11, which mandates regular façade inspections, and Local Law 97, which focuses on energy efficiency, have put tremendous pressure on building owners to upgrade their properties. Traditional solutions like EIFS often fall short in meeting these demands efficiently and effectively. Enter S-Wall—a non-combustible, pretested, and modular system designed to streamline retrofitting while ensuring compliance with these critical regulations.
Why S-Wall Stands Out
The article delves into the key benefits of S-Wall, including:
- Non-Combustibility: Eliminating the need for additional firesafing, ensuring superior safety.
- Faster Installation: Modular panels and no “wet” processes allow for quick installations, even in challenging weather conditions.
- Energy Efficiency: With a thermal resistance range of R-10.5 to R-35.5, S-Wall significantly reduces energy costs.
- Sustainability: Zero on-site waste and enhanced energy performance align with NYC’s environmental goals.
Real-World Applications
Sabulis highlights projects like the Eagle Avenue mockup, where S-Wall demonstrated seamless installation using 3D scanning technology, and 1660 Madison, where its modular design enabled faster completion with reduced on-site waste. These projects underline S-Wall’s ability to tackle NYC’s complex construction challenges head-on.
Why It Matters
With NYC buildings contributing nearly 70% of the city’s carbon emissions, retrofitting has become a critical tool in achieving sustainability goals. S-Wall is not just a product but a solution that balances cost, efficiency, and compliance, making it a compelling choice for stakeholders across the industry.
