Contemporary architecture seeks solutions that combine aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. Ventilated facades have become a key tool for architects who want to create modern and efficient designs. In this guide, we'll explore how to incorporate this system into your projects, maximizing its benefits.
1. Understand the structure of ventilated facades
Before integrating a ventilated façade into your design, it is essential to understand its composition:
- Exterior coating: Non-watertight material that can be natural stone, porcelain, high-pressure laminates, fiber cement, among many others.
- Air chamber: Space that allows the natural air circulation, improving energy efficiency and preventing moisture build-up.
- Insulating layer: Improve the isolation thermal and acoustic of the building.
- Container holding system: Elements that fix the cladding to the structure of the building, guaranteeing safety and durability.
2. Advantages of incorporating ventilated facades in modern designs
- Versatile aesthetics: It allows you to play with different materials, textures and colours, adapting to any architectural style.
- Energy efficiency: The air chamber regulates the internal temperature, reducing energy consumption.
- Durability: Protects the building structure from adverse weather conditions, prolonging the useful life of the materials.
- Sustainability: Reduces the carbon footprint and allows the use of recyclable materials.
3. Technical considerations for the design
Choice of cladding material
Choice of cladding material
Select the material that best suits the style and functionality of the project. Thanks to the custom systems we design at CELO Façades , ventilated facades can incorporate any type of cladding , adapting to the specific needs of each design. Among the most common materials are:
- Extruded stoneware
- Natural stone for an elegant and timeless finish.
- Fibre cement
- Concrete
- Synthesized stone
- Porcelain stoneware for modern and minimalist designs.
- Composite
- HPL (high pressure laminates) for lightweight and versatile solutions.
- Aluminum sheet
- Solar panel
- Vertical garden panel
- solid surface
- Other materials such as wood or metals, depending on the needs of the project.
Ventilation chamber design
Ensure the chamber allows for continuous ventilation , avoiding dead spots where moisture can accumulate. This is essential for maintaining system efficiency.
Integration with other architectural elements
Ventilated facades can be combined with other construction systems such as terraces, balconies or green roofs. It is important to plan the transition between these elements to maintain aesthetic and functional coherence.
