AFC specializes in advanced fiber cement panel solutions that blend durability, aesthetic innovation, and sustainability for modern architecture. The Lea County Courthouse in Lovington, New Mexico, recently underwent an exterior renovation. The project used AFC's Construction and Patina fiber cement panels to update the building's facade while addressing durability and aesthetic needs.
The renovation aimed to restore and modernize the courthouse’s exterior while maintaining its historical character. The Construction panels provided a raw, uncoated cement look, adding texture and depth, while the Patina panels introduced subtle weathered tones that will evolve over time. These materials were selected to withstand environmental challenges and meet performance requirements for long-term use.
