Introducing PARKADE® Solutions
 

This visionary shift in parking structure design is largely being assisted by the introduction of new architectural materials for the exterior cladding of parking structures. These materials provide pleasing aesthetics; functional purpose like solar shading, light pollution reduction, ventilation and security; key advantages for sustainable design and the unique ability to enhance corporate identity through placement of logos or brand imagery.

These new materials are also the centerpiece of Cambridge Architectural Parkade Solutions: an exquisite line of architectural woven metal fabrics or mesh, a wide selection of attachment hardware, and the expertise and experience of the Cambridge Architectural professionals who have helped achieve a vast majority of these new and innovative parking structures in the US.

Why Mesh is Perfect for Parking
 

No other cladding material transforms ordinary open parking structures into truly extraordinary architecture as effortlessly, economically, and environmentally sound than architectural mesh. From the exterior, architectural mesh’s highly textured and glimmering surface – part open, part closed – intrigues the senses, inviting drivers to park their vehicles within the confines of its safe and secure enclosure. On the interior, mesh continues to work hard, providing visitors with enhanced security and comfort.

Cladding with architectural mesh retains all of the advantages of open parking structure design, such as HVAC and fire protection cost reductions. Plus, you achieve all the aesthetic, safety and security benefits usually associated with closed parking structures. Combined with its intrinsic green attributes, architectural mesh is a material perfectly created for parking.
