ventilated facades

The ventilated facade is a building cladding system which, using mechanical, chemical or hybrid anchors, fixes the porcelain stoneware surface to the building wall through an aluminum structure.

An air chamber is thus created between the masonry / insulating panel and the slab which helps to control the hygrothermal characteristics of the wall because the air flow, which flows inside it, lowers the surface temperatures in the hottest periods and favors the disposal of excess moisture.

In fact, the chimney effect, guaranteed by suitable air intake and exhaust openings at the base and top of the wall, generates an ascending air flow that allows the water vapor coming from the inside to be evacuated, avoiding the phenomenon of interstitial condensation. and to eliminate the negative effects of possible water infiltrations from the outside.
