What is Infinite Facade?
Today’s high-performance facades require balancing many factors from aesthetics to technical detailing to demands of the client and local building regulations. All while addressing the intended building solution long-term impact on the environment. A single source building facade solution can simplify the choices you need to make — and reduce your risk along the way. Infinite Facade™ is a fully unitized building enclosure system used in multi-story construction that offers design-build teams greater aesthetic flexibility — while successfully meeting any aesthetic vision or project timeline.
Less cement than traditional concrete systems.
Available finishes, including textures, colors, glazing and metal panel.
Point of contact through design, occupancy and warranty.
Accelerated construction schedule.

Infinitely responsible.
Achieving green architecture.
The basis of Infinite Facade™ design is a sustainable building envelope system that performs and lasts with emphasis on sustainability during the building process as well as long-term thermal performance and energy efficiency; our solution was developed to help designers meet LEED accreditation goals by:
- Harnessing heating energy, saving up to 30%, compared to typical construction assemblies.
- Reducing global warming potential (GWP) by over 60%, compared to traditional curtain wall systems.
- Using a thinner panel, minimizing cement mix by 35% while supplementing with cementitious materials – to reduce overall GWP by 20%.

Infinite Facade design options.
Achieve your architectural expression with expansive finish options. With an emphasis on providing options and aesthetic flexibility, Infinite Facade™ can be manufactured in a variety of colors through mix and finish techniques like acid etch or stain, and textures like stone, terracotta or tile, as well as integrating exterior veneer options - such as brick and metal panel. Continuing to stretch the design possibilities the use of form liners allows for an endless number of patterns and reveals in the design.
Types of modular facade panel materials and design:
Commercial architecture designs achieved with Infinite Facade.
Lighter than a traditional precast panel, achieve custom panel heights, layouts and articulation to allow for easy integration with any structural floor height and use on a wide range of buildings.
Featured Infinite Facade Projects
Confidential Student Housing
Wells introduced Infinite Facade on this student housing development which emerged as a game-changer, consolidating the building enclosure into a single supplier solution.
Intermountain Health Lutheran Medical Office Building
Infinite Facade was adopted for the upper portion of this medical office building due to its lightweight nature, avoiding structural redesign on the project.
Infinite Facade solutions.
In contrast with traditional prefabricated concrete solutions, Infinite Facade™ allows for floor height flexibility and a much larger window-to-wall ratio, providing multiple glazing options. Our configurations are designed to achieve your project’s unique window and daylighting needs in a way that’s convenient and cost effective. Working with our team in a design assist capacity during the preconstruction process optimizes structural grid flexibility and efficiencies while providing insight into early structure loading capabilities.
Infinite Facade 75
Our most cost-effective system, the Infinite Facade 75 series utilizes standard sized window openings surrounded by your choice of finishes.
Infinite Facade 85
With the Infinite Facade 85 series window openings align with the top of the panel and minimize horizontal joints. The increased total window height, allows for enhanced vision from the interior.
Infinite Facade 100
The Infinite Facade 100 series provides full height, continuous exterior glass, and can accommodate more translucent glass from the interior.

Infinite performance.
With extensive development and testing, the Infinite Facade™ building enclosure system is at the cutting-edge of energy performance and code compliance, all while providing attractive aesthetic options. The system has been extensively tested including air barrier, fire resistance performance, weather resistant barrier, acoustic, vapor barrier, structural and thermal properties to meet the most stringent code requirements related to ASTM, NFPA, UL, AAMA, WUFI, THERM Modeling and more.
Infinite delivery.
In addition to the design benefits provided by Infinite Facade™ one of our construction partners favorite elements of this building enclosure system is the simplified logistics and shipping. By providing standardized framing and connection hardware that easily integrates with adjacent systems, it can standardize supply chain and reduce headaches. By manufacturing this integrated scope lightweight building enclosure system in a controlled off-site environment, it expedites speed of construction, reducing months off the construction schedule, getting your buildings built faster.
Infinite benefits.
We believe in the inherent value of a single source building enclosure system. Our partners find Infinite Facade™ to be the preferred choice for various reasons, including accelerated schedule, reduced risk, and more.
