The Challenge Series is a publication that tells the story of Vancouver's Olympic Village at Southeast False Creek: Millennium Water. It was published in eight installments. Chapter 4 makes specific reference to the involvement Keith Panel Systems has had on several of the buildings on the site; see pages 24 & 35 thru 39. If you are interested in seeing the other Chapters, they are available for free download at the website: www.thechallengeseries.ca.

The wall systems installed by KPS will preserve the performance integrity of the exteriors, reduce the heating and cooling loads, provide an extended service life and are virtually maintenance free. Alucobond®, Swisspearl® and specialty glass are the quality exterior finish products featured on proprietary systems by KPS.

Swisspearl has proven that it is superior to other cement panel products on the market.  This is why it is the only one with a documented 40 year life expectancy in Europe.  More and more Architects, Developers, Building Envelope Consultants, and Owner groups are becoming aware of this as Swisspearl is now "cementing" itself in North America.  Click on this Material World article to read more.  For convenience, we've highlighted the pertinent text in yellow.
