Yes, a facade can refer to any exterior elevation of a building, including sides. And there are many types of facades. While traditionally associated with front elevations, modern architectural practice extends the term to all visible exterior surfaces that define a building’s envelope. Critical technical considerations include material performance (weather resistance, thermal expansion), structural integration, and aesthetic coherence.
At Xtra Metal Group, we specialize in precision-engineered aluminum facades for all orientations. Our tailored solutions integrate advanced alloy formulations, modular panel systems, and engineered mounting frameworks to ensure durability and design flexibility across global projects. With 30+ years of expertise, we deliver performance-driven facades that harmonize technical precision with architectural intent, regardless of elevation complexity.
