905 EAGLE AVE

Dextall is excited to announce the upcoming retrofit of the building at 905 Eagle Ave, located in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx, NY. This six-story building will be overclad with 27,878 square feet of Dextall's innovative S-WALL 150 product, designed to significantly enhance the building's thermal performance. The retrofit will improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and contribute to sustainability efforts, aligning with New York City's ongoing push for greener construction practices.

Introducing S-Wall: Revolutionizing Retrofit with Non-Combustible, High-Performance Panels

Introducing S-Wall: Revolutionizing Retrofit with Non-Combustible, High-Performance Panels

  • Thermal Resistance (R-21.0): The S-WALL 150 system will provide superior thermal insulation, drastically improving energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs for the building’s occupants.
  • Architectural Fins: To give the building a modern and aesthetically pleasing look, architectural fins will be incorporated into the design, transforming the building’s facade into a sleek and visually appealing exterior.
  • Integration of Fire Escapes: The existing fire escape structures will be seamlessly integrated within the S-WALL retrofit system. This unique design feat required the use of advanced 3D building scanning technology to carefully measure and design the prefabricated panels, ensuring perfect alignment and installation around the fire escapes.

The S-Wall System: Redefining Retrofit Standards

The S-Wall is Dextall's groundbreaking non-combustible cladding system designed for retrofitting and new construction. It boasts superior performance, sustainability, and a simplified installation process. With thermal resistance ranging from R-10.5 to R-35.5, S-Wall ensures optimal energy efficiency and insulation. The system is also pretested for air and water permeability, passing rigorous tests with results of less than 0.01 cfm/ft² for air permeability and up to 25 psf for water permeability.

Key features of the S-Wall system include:

  • Non-Combustibility: The S-Wall system requires no additional fire safing and complies with NFPA 285, making it a reliable solution for fire safety.
  • Sustainability: With its shop-assembled panels, S-Wall minimizes on-site material waste, making it an environmentally responsible choice for building retrofits.
  • Seamless Installation: The gasketed system eliminates the need for additional sealants, ensuring a clean installation with no mess or waste. Vertical or horizontal rails attach easily to the existing structure, ensuring a quick and smooth installation process.

Dextall’s S-Wall is not only a performance-driven solution but also a cost-effective one, offering competitive pricing comparable to EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems). The system is compatible with a variety of installation equipment and can be installed in almost any weather conditions, further enhancing its versatility.

Compliance with NYC Local Laws:

The S-Wall system has been specifically designed to comply with New York City's Local Law 11 (façade inspection requirements) and Local Law 97 (emissions reduction). These laws require building owners to ensure that their buildings meet strict safety, environmental, and energy performance standards. The S-Wall retrofit at 905 Eagle Ave will help the building meet these regulations, contributing to a safer, more energy-efficient city

The Future of Retrofitting – A Model for Sustainability:

At Dextall, we believe in the power of innovation to transform the built environment. The S-Wall system is setting new standards for building retrofitting, providing a sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient alternative for property owners and developers. With its superior insulation properties, ease of installation, and compliance with key safety and energy regulations, the S-Wall system is a model for the future of building retrofits.

Looking Ahead

Construction at 905 Eagle Ave is set to begin in Q1 2025. The success of this project will serve as a platform for future building retrofits in New York City and beyond. By showcasing the capabilities of the S-Wall system, we are reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and performance in every project we undertake.

We look forward to sharing more updates as the project progresses and invite you to stay connected for further details on this groundbreaking retrofit.
