With over 30 years of experience, Lynco is proud to be one of the leading facade companies in Northern Ireland. Three decades as facade designers, engineers and contractors means we are experts in facade construction, and passionate advocates for intelligent, high performance building design.

Our team comprises designers, engineers, surveyors and site operatives, offering the peace of mind of full project management. Our expert team looks after you from first enquiry, through design and procurement, right up to installation. 

Facade Design

We understand that 21st century facade design needs to do far more than make a building look attractive. Modern building enclosures must allow the structure to work for the people who use it, and complement the surrounding environment. It needs to be safe and sound, as well as beautiful and functional.

It’s easy to think of a facade as simply the ‘icing on the cake’ of a building. In reality, facade systems are integral to a safe, high performance, energy efficient building. 

As one of the leading facade companies, we consider:

  • Comfort, health and safety of occupants and visitors:

A well designed facade regulates heat, light and ventilation within the building and plays an important role in preventing the spread of fire and smoke.

  • Structural integrity:

Facade systems must be wind- and weather-proof, and integrate fully with the support structures of the building.

  • Longevity:

A truly intelligent facade design includes robust plans and considerations for cleaning, repairs and maintenance. 

So what does a high performance building look like?

High Performance

As you’ll see from Lynco’s varied portfolio of projects, no two facades look the same. By working closely with clients, architects and principal contractors, we place client requirements at the centre of every project we manage. Our in-house team of facade designers and engineers apply their expertise to create intelligent, modern design that seamlessly integrates with the architectural vision. 

Energy efficiency is one of the top priorities for today’s construction industry. We support ambitious energy efficiency targets in construction, and well-executed facade works are instrumental in achieving them. Health and safety is at the heart of both our design, and our supply and installation. We follow strict codes of practice during on-site installation, and take the greatest care in sourcing quality materials from trusted suppliers.
