Gateway on Francis Lewis: Fast-Track, Future-Ready Living in Queens

The façade integrates 2" aluminum cladding finished to AAMA 2605 standards with uPVC windows and doors, continuous insulation, and a ventilated rainscreen—achieving R-16.9 thermal performance, tight weatherproofing, and long-term durability against freeze–thaw cycles, UV exposure, and urban wear. Subtle flush and recessed treatments create depth and rhythm for a timeless street presence.

Off-site manufacturing turns schedule risk into schedule certainty: 183 panels are slated to install in roughly two months, dramatically reducing on-site labor, noise, and neighborhood disruption while ensuring precision fit and clean interfaces. Dextall also supplied complementary loose cladding for field conditions to maintain a cohesive envelope.
