Ventilated facades are one of the most efficient, durable, and aesthetically versatile construction systems on the market. For architects, engineers, and construction technicians, a thorough understanding of the details of a ventilated façade It is essential to ensure a safe, efficient and compliant installation.
In this article, from CELO FaçadesWe explain everything you need to know: structure, anchor types, loads, certifications, and much more.
What is a ventilated façade?
It is an exterior façade cladding system composed of an air chamber between the building envelope and the exterior cladding. This chamber improves thermal and acoustic insulation and allows moisture to escape, increasing the building's durability.
Essential technical details in ventilated facades
1. Substructure
Designed from high-strength aluminum, it can be vertical, horizontal, or a combination of both. At CELO, we work with A, M, and B profiles depending on the load of the cladding.
2. Anchors
We have visible and hidden, mechanical and chemical solutions for all types of materials: ceramic, stone, HPL, composite, etc. All our anchors ventilated facade CELO are certified according to the CTE and Eurocode.
3.Material compatibility
Our systems adapt to all types of cladding, including solar panels and sintered ceramics, and to any type of enclosure: from concrete to lightweight structures.
4. Regulations and certification
13 of our systems have the ETA certification (European Technical Assessment), which guarantees safety, reliability and compliance with the most demanding standards.
Components that make the difference
A ventilated façade system depends on more than just the visible cladding. Technical details such as the type of bracket, compatibility with the enclosure, joint design, and wind resistance are decisive. For example, our articulated brackets They allow for the absorption of expansions and structural movements, while the hidden anchors maintain a clean aesthetic without compromising strength.
The importance of choosing the right system
Each project requires a different fastening system depending on its structural requirements, cladding type, and climatic conditions. At CELO Façades, we classify our solutions by load: high, medium or low, which facilitates optimal system selection from the initial project phases. This precision in detail allows for optimized costs, time, and durability.
