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.

Thanks to their advanced design, ventilated facade systems guarantee greater structural resistance, minimizing risks and ensuring compliance with building safety regulations.

The installation rate of a ventilated facade depends on the type of fixing system used and the installer's experience. The approximate daily rates per installer pair are detailed below:

• Cushioned system: ≈ 10 m²/day/couple
• Direct anchoring system: ≈ 10 m²/day/couple
• System with vertical profiles and staples: ≈ 30 m²/day/couple
• System with vertical profiles and horizontal profiles: ≈ 60 m²/day/couple

Thanks to the efficiency and ease of assembly of ventilated facade systems , installation times can be optimized without compromising the safety or quality of the project.

At CELO Façades , we guarantee a fast and efficient supply of materials for ventilated facades.

• Standard material (304/A2 stainless steel and raw extruded aluminum): We have permanent stock, which allows us to make shipments immediate.
• Custom material (316/A4 stainless steel and anodized extruded aluminum): It is manufactured on request, as it is intended for specific applications in aggressive environments, such as coastal areas or industrial estatesIn these cases, the delivery time will depend on the manufacturing and logistics process.

Our commitment is to offer fast solutions tailored to the needs of each project, always guaranteeing quality and safety in every component.

The percentage that the fixing system represents within the total cost of a ventilated facade is not fixed, as it depends on various factors such as the type of material, the complexity of the project, and the fastening system used. However, generally speaking, this percentage usually ranges between 20% and 30% of the total installation cost.

This value may vary depending on the specific requirements of the project, the materials used and the efficiency of the installation, but it always guarantees a safe, durable solution that complies with current regulations.

At CELO Façades , we work closely with BAC Engineering Consultancy Group ( www.bacecg.com ), one of the most internationally recognized engineering firms in structural calculation.

BAC Engineering handles all calculations for gravity, wind, and seismic loads , ensuring compliance with current regulations, such as the Spanish Building Technical Code (CTE) and the Eurocodes . They are currently also converting these calculations to DIN standards.

Furthermore, at CELO Façades we have our own structural calculation department , which works under the supervision of BAC to analyze particular cases and tailor-made solutions , ensuring maximum precision and safety in each ventilated facade project.

The spacing of brackets and profiles in a ventilated facade system varies according to the characteristics of the project and the specific structural calculations.

At CELO Façades , we conduct a detailed study during the design phase, taking into account factors such as:

• Distance between slabs
• Coating size and thickness
• Wind, seismic and gravity loads
• Current regulations (CTE, Eurocodes, DIN, etc.)

We have generic calculation tables that allow us to estimate the optimal distribution of fasteners, but the final configuration is defined according to the project's needs. Based on this analysis, we select the best solution from our wide range of fastening systems , guaranteeing safety, efficiency, and durability during installation.

The distance between the enclosure and the visible face of the cladding in a ventilated facade is variable and depends on the fixing system used, the thickness of the thermal insulation and the specific requirements of the project.

Minimal distance

• 5 cm in systems direct anchoring, considering:
  • 2 cm air chamber (minimum possible).
  • 3 cm of coating.
  • Without thermal insulation.

If the project requires thermal insulation, it will be necessary to increase the distance depending on the thickness of the insulating material.

Maximum distance

• There is no fixed limit, as it is determined by the architectural project.
• Factors influencing maximum separation:
  • Thickness of thermal insulation.
  • Use of vertical and horizontal profiles.
  • Space required for concealed installations (pipes, wiring, etc.).

Each project is analyzed individually to define the best technical solution, guaranteeing energy efficiency, structural stability and aesthetics in the ventilated facade.

The placement of bracing elements in a ventilated facade varies depending on the fixing system used. However, in all cases, it is essential that the bracing elements are joined using the same method as the rest of the cladding fixing system.

Types of union according to the system

• Mechanical union: It is done by specific screws, rivets or anchors, ensuring a firm and sturdy hold.
• Chemical bonding: They are used certified structural adhesives, ensuring optimal fixation in systems where integration without visible elements is required.

The design and arrangement of the bracing is determined based on the structural calculations of the project, ensuring the stability, strength and durability of the ventilated facade system against wind loads, impacts and other stresses.

Yes, at CELO Façades Technology we offer a wide range of fastening systems for ventilated facades that allow the cladding to be installed in any position and with any type of joint.

If a project requires a specific solution that cannot be resolved with our standard systems , our technical team designs a custom system , guaranteeing a safe and efficient installation, adapted to the architectural and structural needs of the project.

In addition, we evaluate factors such as the type of cladding material, structural loads, and climatic conditions , ensuring that the chosen solution meets the highest standards of quality and durability.

Energy savings and thermal efficiency: The ventilated facade significantly improves the building's thermal insulation thanks to the air gap between the cladding and the wall. This allows for a reduction in energy consumption for heating and cooling of up to 30-40%, as it prevents heat buildup in summer and retains heat in winter, creating a more comfortable environment and long-term cost savings.

Superior sound insulation: The air gap and insulating materials that can be incorporated into the ventilated facade significantly reduce outside noise, improving acoustic comfort inside the home. This is especially useful in urban areas or near busy roads.

Protection against moisture and increased durability: Continuous ventilation eliminates accumulated moisture and prevents leaks, protecting the facade from mold and mildew growth. This extends the lifespan of the materials and reduces the need for frequent maintenance and repairs.

Reduced maintenance: Ventilated facades require little maintenance, as the materials are protected from the weather and dirt is easily removed by the air circulation in the chamber.
