Rigidized® Metals’ InvariLux® micro texture clads the exteriors of 26 buildings at ExxonMobil’s Houston, TX campus. The micro texture is naturally cleaning, meaning dirt and grime doesn’t built up on the surface of the material and can wash off with rain water. Additionally, the uniformity of the micro texture reduces glare in a notoriously sunny area. Not only that, when it DOES rain, the stainless steel material doesn’t rust. All of these features combine to make maintenance minimal, and the durability of the product means it will last the entire lifetime of the building.
