The easy way to generate LEED points
GKD metal fabrics are resistant to corrosion, climatic conditions, heat, and fire, which makes them both durable and sustainable. When used as building façades, they alleviate intensive solar radiation, while at the same time offering shade and ventilation.
They also support energy savings in this way. As such, using GKD products in your construction project can help boost your LEED points score in many areas.
Our contribution
Our goal is to contribute sustainably to a healthier, cleaner and safer world. With our products for facades and interiors, we can work together with architects, planners and builders to achieve this – with an optimization of the energy balance, environmentally friendly materials and improved light, heat and acoustic conditions.
Light
Metal fabric façades from GKD are translucent, allowing an appropriate level of natural light to enter buildings, while at the same time granting a free view to the outside. This reduces the use of electrical lighting, which in turn improves the energy productivity of buildings.

Acoustics
The attractive and durable acoustic ceiling systems from GKD allow noise to be reduced and controlled. Our solutions thereby make a key contribution to securing favorable working conditions, a greater sense of well-being, increased productivity, and improved communication in offices and classrooms.

Energy
Thanks to their shading properties, GKD metal fabrics used as exterior façades not only decrease solar heat input into buildings, but also lower the energy consumption of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. At the same time, our solutions are light-permeable, allowing the costs of interior lighting to be reduced and optimized. This increases energy efficiency and improves the ecological and economic footprint.

Environmental protection
Selecting products and materials that have a proven beneficial effect on the ecological, economic, and social lifecycle is rewarded with LEED points. Our products are produced from 60% recycled materials and can themselves be 100% recycled at the end of their useful life. Waste produced during the manufacturing process is also fully reused. When redeveloping buildings, solar protection and energy usage can be optimized with a façade from GKD. This in turn allows the lifecycle of existing buildings to be sustainably extended, resources to be preserved, waste to be reduced, and the environmental impact of new construction work to be reduced.
