STENI Façade Panels in Jacksonville First Baptist Church | STENI

The Jacksonville First Baptist Church in Florida recently underwent a major renovation that involved a complete overhaul of both the interior and exterior. Key to revitalizing the building was the application of Steni Colour façade panels, which not only improved the building’s appearance but also provided a durable and low-maintenance exterior solution.

Project Overview
The renovation of Jacksonville’s First Baptist Church was carried out in two phases: The first phase involved extensive work on the interior, including refurbishing the auditorium, which spans over 9,000 square meters. This phase was completed in 2021, with upgrades to seating, the stage, and overall aesthetics.

Phase two focused on the building’s exterior, which had fallen into disrepair. The challenge was to breathe new life into the aging structure, with Steni Colour façade panels being chosen for their combination of aesthetics, durability, and functionality.

Material Selection and Design

The design and installation of the façade were complex, requiring a high level of collaboration between all parties involved. Steni Colour panels were chosen for their aesthetic appeal, functional benefits, and long-term durability. The panels’ high-quality finish is backed by a 60-year warranty, ensuring that the church will enjoy a beautiful and low-maintenance exterior for decades to come.

The façade design was both intricate and modern, with seven different Steni Colour panels selected in a mix of high-gloss and semi-matte finishes. The result was a visually striking and dynamic façade with a total of 14 different slab types, creating a design that honored the original structure while adding a contemporary flair.

The Benefits of Steni Panels
The Steni Colour façade panels offered a wide range of benefits that contributed to the success of the project:

• Durability: Steni’s panels are impact-resistant, frost-resistant, and waterproof, ensuring long-lasting performance even in challenging climates.
• Low Maintenance: The panels require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.
• Ease of Installation: Pre-cut and pre-drilled panels saved weeks of assembly time, making the installation process faster and more efficient.
• Environmental Responsibility: Steni panels are designed with a low carbon footprint, contributing to the sustainability of the project.
