Design-Centered Solutions for Education Construction
As an outward display of a community’s character and values, school exterior design should express a community’s commitment to its future. With many US schools dating back to the past century, the need for reimagined school facades that blend with and connect to their surrounding communities while enhancing quality of education has never been greater.

Designer

For contemporary commercial design, Nichiha created its Designer Series, which features the Illumination and Miraia products. Both lines offer a distinctive style, so your hotel or restaurant design is sure to stand out. Illumination panels feature a satin finish and nearly limitless world of color possibilities. Miraia gives any commercial exterior design a high-gloss look, as a cost-effective alternative to metallic siding materials.

Dimension

Add more depth to your design. Nichiha’s Dimension Series offers exterior cladding solutions that add texture and personality to commercial buildings. The Dimension lines come in Ribbed and Novenary panels, and both deliver big visual impact to any exterior. If your hotel design needs versatile style and proven exterior protection, the Ribbed and Novenary lines give architects plenty to work with.

Modern

The Modern Series from Nichiha offers architects the perfect combination of long-lasting exterior protection and versatile style. ArchitecturalBlock and TuffBlock panels feature textures and finishes that work for high-performance hotel design. The panels even offer interior design solutions, for a seamless transition from the outdoors.

Wood

For a warm, refined look, Nichiha provides cladding that delivers the beauty of wood (without the drawbacks). Our VintageWood and RoughSawn panels offer texture to your exterior design, along with outstanding weather protection to keep it looking gorgeous. Nichiha’s fiber cement cladding can be installed horizontally or vertically, depending on the look you’re after. Include the feel of wood in your interior design, if you like: the fiber cement cladding can add serious style to your indoor space.

Concrete

Concrete design is a popular look in commercial building, especially when you’re after a more industrial style. But Nichiha’s EmpireBlock and IndustrialBlock panels give architects a lightweight and efficient alternative to working with concrete materials. Choose from a variety of textures and colors, without having to worry about the curing time or cracking that comes with concrete.

Brick

Build the look of classic brick into any commercial design, without the added project costs or headaches. Nichiha’s Brick Series delivers the beauty of brick-and-mortar design to your exterior — you’ll note the grout line detail and variation in color. But designers can expect the ease-of-installation and versatility of Nichiha’s fiber cement cladding.

Masonry

If you’re looking for a traditional exterior look that’s sure to impress, Nichiha’s Masonry Series gives architects a handsome design solution. The fiber cement panels will elevate the style of contemporary hotel or restaurant design. And the panels don’t require a skilled mason for installation, so the job will be done exponentially faster. Add subtle texture and color with our line of SandStone panels — they’ll complete any look you’re after.
