Product catalog summary
Overview
GIP Fassade offers customized turnkey solutions for facade projects, specializing in ventilated curtain walls (VCW), a proven low-maintenance construction system popular in Germany and Europe. These facades provide extensive architectural design options.

Facade System Structure
The typical structure of a VCW system includes:
  • Wall brackets
  • Connection screws
  • Facade anchors
  • Vertical profiles
  • Thermal insulation
  • Ventilation gap
  • Fastening elements for cladding (e.g., rivets, ceramic clips)
  • Cladding panels (ceramic, metal, fibre cement, composite)

Substructure Details
The substructure is crucial for transferring the facade cladding's dead loads and wind loads to the exterior wall. Typically made of metal, it compensates for structural tolerances and consists of a two-part construction anchored to the building's outer wall. It must accommodate material length changes due to temperature variations, using fixed/sliding point constructions to manage stress.

Design Examples
Design examples include wall brackets like VECO-A-LS made of aluminium, demonstrating the application of fixed and sliding points to manage loads effectively.

GIP Substructures-1

Tailor-made Facade Systems We offer customised turnkey solutions for your next facade project. Ventilated curtain walls (VCW) have been an integral part of building construction in Germany and Europe for decades. During this time, they have proven themselves to be an almost damage-free and low-maintenance construction system. In addition, ventilated curtain facades allow a wide range of architectural design options. GIP Fassade is a manufacturer of metal substructures for VCW and a contact for all technical questions in connection with the design, planning and realisation of VCW.

Tailor-made Facade Systems Substructure The substructure transfers the dead loads of the facade cladding and the acting wind loads to the load-bearing exterior wall. As a rule, metal substructures are used to compensate for structural tolerances. In most cases, the system consists of a two-part construction that is fixed to the outer wall of the building with anchoring means. This basic construction is aligned plumb and true to line and serves as a fastening level for the installation of different facade cladding materials. The substructure system must be designed in such a way that changes in...
