K&A fabricated and delivered 700 floor to ceiling FRP Shade Hoods for the newly renovated and expanded 633 Folsom building in San Francisco, CA

The FRP rain screen at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) is the largest FRP facade in the US to date. K&A’s patented formulation passes all code required tests including NFPA 285. Such a lightweight facade eliminated the need for over 15 tons of support structure necessary for the GFRC option allowing the FRP to be fastened directly to the unitized facade panels prior to installation reducing jobsite time and cost.

San Jose, California’s St Joseph’s Cathedral is number one on the list of historic buildings in CA. Built in the 1860s this wood structure badly needed structural repair and restoration. The dome had to be light to avoid overloading the wood trusses.
