Porcelain Terracotta Rainscreen Facade Systems Building Ventilated Facade Composite Materials
Rainscreen Principle
A rainscreen or ventilated façade is a two stage construction – the inner structure with a protected outer skin. By placing the insulation on the outside of the structure, the exterior cladding protects the structure against the elements. The system includes a cavity where exterior thermal insulation is fixed to the substructure and also allows for an adequate circulation of rising air - chimney stack effect .
Ventilated facades protect the building against weather but also offer remarkable advantages in terms of thermal insulation and energy efficiency. Rainscreen facades prevent thermal bridges, they help resist moisture and humidity, they prevent internal condensation and reduce thermal movement of the structure.
The System offers architects and specifiers an innovative, high quality, single source for rainscreen ventilated claddings. The system extends your design options and perfectly combines the use of the stress free undercut anchors, the individual subframes and sophisticated drilling technology. The use of the system pays off on the construction site where installation is fast and simple and higher productivity is achieved.
The stress free undercut anchor is installed in pre-drilled undercut holes. The undercut technology offers several times higher ultimate loads than conventional fixings. Because the anchor positioning can be optimized, the bending moment within the panel is reduced by about 50% when compared to traditional systems. This allows reduced panel thickness and larger panel sizes. In addition, the varied panel thicknesses can be compensated by the use of stand off anchors.
The main facade systems would be Stone facade system, Glass facade system, Porcelain facade system and Fiber Cement facade system.
Paneltek's Terracotta panels and Baguette are a cole covering element of Porcelain facade systems.
| Advantages of Terracotta Panel, comparing with Stone and Glass | ||||
| NO. | Contents | Terracotta Panel | Nature Stone | Glass |
| 1 | Material | Natural Clay, 100% green material | granite, marble, sandstone | quartz alkaline colloid |
| 2 | Dry Weight | hollow structure, 30-32kg/m2, 70% weight of the Nature Stone | 2.4-2.7kg/m³ | 2.5kg/m³ |
| 3 | Dry-hanging System | with its own groove for dry-hanging, standard, safe and easy handle. | on-site processing, fragile, security risk | on-site fixing |
| 4 | Color | Never fading, color inherent, stable color for each production. | natural color, but it is greatly affected by mine or location | heavy-metal oxide |
| 5 | Durability | not new in ten years, not old in one hundred years. | easy to be second weathering | easy to be erosion |
| 6 | Acid and alkaline resistance | high | middle | low |
| 7 | Radioactivity | none | with radioactive elements | With radioactive elements for bright color glass |
| 8 | Low-carbon ability | hollow structure ,good heat and sound insulation, light-weight, greatly saving steel, half of stone's heat-conducting, recycling. | low heat and noise insulation, heavy, needing to be reinforced. | high light-transmission, no heat-insulation |
| 9 | environmental protection of the processing | using shale and terracotta, or coal waste, easy for exploration, no need to process too much, little waste | much wasting water, stone material is limited, causing great damage to environment. | limited good silicon |
| 10 | Light pollution | no, matte surface | no | high, dazzling |
