Peter Dushenski, Managing Director of GlasCurtain, joined Fenestration Canada’s Commercial Chapter to present Northern Resilience: Next-Generation Façades at Red Deer Justice Centre.

The presentation took a closer look at the façade strategy behind one of Alberta’s most significant recent civic projects, exploring how high-performance curtain wall design can respond to demanding northern conditions while supporting architectural intent, durability, and long-term building performance.

Using the Red Deer Justice Centre as a case study, Peter walked through the role of GlasCurtain’s Thermaframe 7 fibreglass curtain wall system, including the technical considerations that shaped the envelope, the project’s performance requirements, and the collaboration required to deliver more than 22,000 ft² of curtain wall across the eight-storey facility.

The session also looked beyond thermal performance alone, considering how material selection, condensation resistance, durability, and maintainability contribute to a façade that is expected to perform reliably over the life of a major public building.

Thank you to Fenestration Canada and its Commercial Chapter for the opportunity to share the project, and to everyone who joined the presentation and discussion.
