Ceramic Ventilated Facade Architectural rainscreen system
The ceramic ventilated facade is an exterior cladding system for buildings, the ideal combination between the maximum level of aesthetic appeal and the best thermal features.
From the structural point of view, the ventilated facade is an overhang system, composed of an external facing in slabs of terracotta panels, mechanically fastened to the perimeter framework of the building by means of a structure in aluminium alloy.
Thanks to this particular construction technique, the surface of the cladding remains separate from the masonry. The resulting cavity is partially occupied by a layer of thermal insulating material, leaving the rest of the space empty to allow for ventilation.
Therefore an “air jet“ is created; that is, a continuous flow of aeration, which provides significant benefits in terms of breath-ability and a decrease of heat loads during summer. In winter the system ensures effective insulation. In this way, the main structures of the buildings are protected and dry, preventing deterioration and the related maintenance costs.
In the air cavity between the masonry and the cladding, phenomena of micro-ventilation and up ward-air flow are created due to the chimney effect triggered, enabling the reduction of the heat loads related to solar radiation.
The “ventilated facade” also helps improve the acoustic performance of the buildings, creating a better protection against outside noise. The color fastness, the low absorption and ease of cleaning of porcelain ensure durability of the aesthetic and technical characteristics of the external wall.
This system is ideal for new projects and is in the redevelopment, restructuring or reorganization, allowing operation with minimal impact on building inhabitant.
