Elevating multifamily properties through quiet luxury

After a six-year hiatus, the U.S. General Services Administration late last year resumed its esteemed GSA Design Awards program. In all, 19 federal building projects nationwide were honored with 2022 GSA Design Awards, eight with Honor Awards and 11 with Citations.

Each year, the Building Design+Construction editorial team evaluates the vast universe of new and updated products, materials, and systems for the U.S. building design and construction market. The best-of-the-best products make up our annual 75 Top Products report. 

Tedlar® PVF film from DuPont is laminated to wallcoverings and interior materials to create highly durable surfaces. Tedlar® is stain-proof, and can withstand the harshest cleaning agents, while protecting the colors and patterns for a lasting new look. It has excellent fire and smoke ratings, and does not support the growth of mold or mildew. It is often chosen to protect the walls in high-traffic and demanding environments, such as hospitality and healthcare. Tedlar® was recently selected as a protective material for the renovation of the largest women and children’s medical center in China. Tedlar® was used in three different ways – interior metal panels, wallcoverings, and wardrobe finishes. This project showcases the wide range of substrates that Tedlar® can be laminated to, creating a long-lasting, clean, safe, and beautiful environment.
