Building Character with MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME: Keeping facades looking intentional with material choice

A building’s character is usually credited to what the eye can pick out, be it a crisp shadow line, a confident connecting junction or the pattern of boards across an elevation. But character, in the way owners and occupants actually experience it, is not the detail itself. Rather, it’s whether those details still seem deliberate after a year of exposure, after the first winter has strained each edge, seam and fixing.

That’s why the decision that matters most often sits one layer beneath the finish. When a facade loses definition, the cause is usually movement, and it shows up first in the places where design intent is supposed to be most visible.
