Discover Krieger’s limitless veneer options.

Krieger's acoustical, blast and bullet doors can be veneered to achieve any visual aesthetic you seek. Choose from virtually every type of wood. Apply original, antique facades to brand new doors. Go for the bold look of stainless steel, bronze, brass, copper, stone or any artistic combination you can think of. Our top-quality finishes are meticulously prepared by a master craftsman, and all veneers utilize a three-ply approach backed by our performance warranty.

Center Performs and Records
Napa Valley (CA) College’s new instructional center for performing arts will be able to both play and record music. With a theater wired for digital media, images can be projected onto a full-screen backdrop for scenes. The complex will include multiple spaces for music and theater department performances and instruction.

Virtual Immersion
Iowa State University’s C6 is a room that surrounds users with computer-generated 3-D images. When the university needed to upgrade the old technology in the facility to meet current standards, designers had to maintain a high aspect ratio without significantly modifying the structure or expanding the facility. Find out how they did this AV Award-winning project.

Glass and Glazing Advancements Increase Efficiency
Whereas low-e glazing was state-of-the-art just a decade ago, there are now "self cleaning" photocatalytic coatings, "smart glass" that controls light and heat with the press of a button, and transparent conductive oxide-coated glass for solar panels.
