Schüco FACID AC Textile Façade | Quick Access System | High Design Freedom & Smart Shading

The Schüco FACID AC (Access) system is an advanced textile façade designed to combine high aesthetic appeal with practical maintenance functionality.

It sets the benchmark for healthy, smart, and secure buildings by allowing individual facade aesthetics while providing controlled, easy access to the underlying building structure and components.

• Controlled Access (AC): The core feature is the ability to easily open or reverse the textile panels without damage, providing quick and controlled access for maintenance, cleaning, or repair of integrated systems and the primary façade.

• High Design Freedom: The system is modular and allows for an individual façade aesthetic using a range of digitally printable, high-strength textiles.

• Multifunctional: Functions as an effective vertical rainscreen façade, passive sun shading, and protection against weather elements.

• Easy Installation: Uses pre-assembled textile elements with special tensioning technology and profiles, simplifying installation and ensuring reliable weather protection.

Pricing Information (US Estimates)

As a specialized, architectural textile facade system with enhanced access features, the FACID AC is a custom-priced component.

• Estimated Cost Context: Textile facades are a cost-effective alternative to heavy glass facades. Pricing for the FACID system typically starts from 70 to 120 USD per square foot, covering the textile material, tensioning profiles, and technology.

• Factors Affecting Price: The final price depends on the specific high-performance textile chosen (e.g., flame-retardant polyester), any digital printing or bespoke graphics, and the complexity of the substructure required for tensioning.

• Recommendation: Due to the bespoke nature and custom engineering, a detailed, project-specific quote is required for accurate pricing.
