It is an innovation that fulfills functionality in both the summer and winter seasons. It is the response to the heating of the outer layer, the density of the air changes with respect to that of the outside. An upward movement occurs by natural convection, thanks to temperature differences.

Especially in summer, it offers many advantages, as it allows air to circulate between the two layers and expels the warm air to the outside. Furthermore, improving insulation and the effect of ventilated facades eliminates other problems such as dampness. Thus, we see that ventilated facades are one of the best solutions for combating temperature fluctuations.
