D2B®: designed to build
A unique concept for prefabricated facades, D2B® (Designed to Build) is a waterproof curtain wall constructive system that combines pre-assembled high performance insulating sandwich panels with an innovative mounting system and a wide range of architectural finishes. D2B® systems are compatible with a choice of aluminum, wood, and PVC joinery.
Thanks to its dry and lightweight design, D2B® allows for quick and easy installation, which improves on-site safety and the quality of off-site construction.
ArcelorMittal Construction offers two types of D2B® systems:
- D2B® Archisol®: consists of Archisol® panels designed to be completed with an outer skin that can be chosen from a wide variety of aesthetic cladding solutions in steel or other materials.
- D2B® Promisol®: consists of Promisol® S panels for vertical installation, forming both the insulation and the outer skin.
