Our Quebec team will take a well-deserved break for the construction holidays. We will come back in force on Monday August 6th.

We wish everyone a wonderful summer!

We are very happy to announce that Epsylon has been chosen for the conception and installation of the curtain wall envelope of the magnificient project Humaniti Montreal.

Montreal’s first “smart vertical community”, Humaniti is a mixed-use building featuring a bold and distinctive architectural concept, which will soon become one of Montreal city’s icons.

With more than 270 000 sq.ft of unitized curtain walls to install, Humaniti will be Epsylon’s largest curtain wall project to this day.

Congratulations to all our team!

Epsylon is very proud to have the chance to collaborate once again with Pomerleau for the realization of another major project.

The 425 Viger, a 10 000 sq.ft building initially built in 1910, will benefit from a complete restoration, to which will be added an extension in the form of a 10-story tower at the northeast corner of the building.

Epsylon will undertake the whole curtain wall building envelope for this stunning project in Montreal.

Congratulations to all our team!

It is with pride that we have won the “Best monumental project 2017” prize awarded by Guardian Glass, in honor of the exceptional work realized on the Deloitte tower in Montreal.

We have been awarded this prize at an event on March 5 in Las Vegas, where numerous north amercian glaziers were attending.

Guardian Glass is one of the world’s largest glass manufacturers with leading positions in float and fabricated glass products for commercial, residential and transportation applications.

Congratulations to all our team for this great honor!

 

It’s now official: it’s Epsylon who will undertake the curtain wall envelope of YUL condo’s phase II in downtown Montreal!

We are very happy to have obtained this mandate and to be able to team up once again with general contractor Magil Construction and architects Menkes Shooner Dagenais Letourneux. We are convinced that this project will be a great success.

Congratulations to all our team!

Last Friday, second-year students of University of Montreal’s bachelor’s degree in architecture presented their projects of solar mesh, which are designed and fabricated as part of one of their workshops. These solar meshes are designed to be attached to eventual curtain walls.

As a donator, Epsylon participated in this activity that benefits of the support of the Epsylon funds for the second consecutive year, for the purchase of construction materials and to honour the best projects. Tania Lefrançois, Director of business development, and Simon Manucci, Director of Sales, were part of the jury to select the winning projects.

We are very proud to announce that we have obtained the mandate for the realization of the glazing architecture that will be the signature of Robert Lepage’s new theater Le Diamant, in Quebec city.

The architecture of the new Diamant shows a great concern for keeping the historical heritage of the city in this new entertainment venue. The ancient facade of the YMCA will be completely restored, while a massive glass caisson, which will constitute the building envelope, will be inserted with an inclination that will join the line traced by the côte d’Abraham, a street that formerly linked the lower town to the porte Saint-Jean. Epsylon is honored to take part in this wonderful project that will perfectly combine traditional architecture and contemporary style, thus offering an exceptional showcase for Quebec city’s cultural richness.

Congratulations to all our team!

Epsylon has just finished another beautiful project! Click here to watch Radio Canada Economy’s report on the inauguration of Maison Manuvie (in French), a new office tower in Montreal that follows in the footsteps of another one of our great realizations, Deloitte tower.

Once again, congratulations to all our team!
