What is a STEKAR Lunch & Learn?
A Lunch & Learn with STEKAR is a focused technical presentation for professionals involved in building design, envelope consulting, construction planning, and asset development.
It is designed to help your team better understand how façade systems perform, how different assemblies impact the project, and how to evaluate the right approach based on design intent, performance requirements, site realities, and installation strategy.
It is a practical, discussion-friendly session led by facade professionals who understand the demands of commercial, institutional, mixed-use, multi-residential, and retrofit projects.

Why STEKAR
STEKAR specializes in façade and building envelope systems for demanding projects. Our work is rooted in the realities of commercial, institutional, mixed-use, hospitality, and multi-residential construction.

That is why our Lunch & Learn sessions are built to be useful from multiple perspectives at once, and focused on deep and enjoyable learning.
