Key Metrics
Project Challenges & Successes
Brilliant™ Glass Markerboards — Precision & Coordination
The scope encompassed approximately 90 unique glassboard assemblies, totaling over 280 individually fabricated pieces. Many assemblies required precisely located device cutouts, necessitating extensive coordination. The team led a rigorous process of site measurement, device verification, and fabrication detailing.
Result:
Only four pieces required reordering — a testament to Platinum’s quality control and technical precision.
Writanium™ Porcelain Markerboard Integration
The Writanium™ markerboards in this project were custom-designed with exposed panel edges and aluminum angle trim. Platinum fabricated each porcelain board with millwork-level precision, including continuous runs spanning 50 to 85 feet. All butt joints were carefully aligned with surrounding architectural elements.
Result:
Impeccable alignment and seamless integration — enhancing both the visual continuity and functionality of the writable surfaces.
Client Collaboration
Platinum worked closely with Neff Specialties, a longstanding partner, to execute this technically ambitious project. This collaboration is the latest in a series of successful efforts and exemplifies the trust and synergy between both teams.
I know for a fact that the levels of accuracy and quality required for this project would not be achievable with anyone but Platinum Visual.
