¿What is a ventilated facade?

A ventilated façade is a system that consists of a structure independent of the building envelope, which is placed on the surface of the same, creating an air chamber between the two, which allows the natural circulation of air and the ventilation of the intermediate space, thus improving the thermal and acoustic conditions of the building.

In addition to providing additional insulation and protection against external agents such as rain or wind, the ventilated façade brings a modern and elegant aesthetic to the building.

FAQ's

1. What safety guarantees does a ventilated façade system offer?

The ventilated facade is one of the safest and most reliable solutions for building envelopes. Its fixing system, based on support structures and anchors , is essential to guarantee the stability and durability of the cladding. Without these elements, the installation could not be carried out correctly, ensuring a strong and high-performance mechanical fix.

In contrast, facades adhered with mortar or tile adhesive rely on chemical bonding to hold the panels in place. Although they may initially appear stable, these materials can shrink over time, increasing the risk of detachment and compromising the cladding's safety.
