Challenge Us !
Challenge Us: Due to the wide variety of uses for architectural needs, versatility is important in the products that are incorporated into a designers plans. Two projects stand out for very different reasons: The Israel Pavilion at the 1967 Expo, and the Montreal Stock Exchange.
- The Israel Pavilion, erected in 1967, was designed to have a textured exterior surface. Protectolite™ created a special mould that allowed for this pebbled surface. Unlike most other structures on the site, this pavilion retained its structural integrity as well as weatherability, and is still in use today – 40 years later!.
- The challenge with the Montreal Stock Exchange was to create a "modern" shaped interior panel that could be used for walls, structural display units and ceiling pans. The Protectolite™ Inc. solution provided the architect with the ability to clothe the inside of his building with a unique patterning that was also lightweight and durable.
