At Wells, we collaborate with your design team to create inspiring spaces while simplifying complex building challenges. Our revolutionary GateLite facade system achieves this balance by blending aesthetic versatility with performance.

Custom design capabilities deliver on your creative vision while an integrated scope unlocks efficiencies and enhances value. Combining a lean, lightweight architectural concrete skin with an engineered metal frame, insulation, and glazing, the system immediately encloses the building, reducing risk across the project and significantly expediting schedules. It’s manufactured as a completely unitized system off-site, from one trusted partner to bring clarity and confidence to the build.
