Product catalog summary
Product Description
The Frontek brand by Greco Gres Internacional Group offers an exclusive extruded ceramic piece for facade cladding, noted for its hardness, lightness, resistance, durability, and low water absorption. It weighs 32 kg/m2 and is available in nineteen finishes, with custom formats available.
Advantages of Frontek
Frontek combines the benefits of extruded terracotta panels and pressed porcelain tiles, offering a wide range of finishes and sizes with low water absorption. It is the only extruded panel rectified on all sides, ensuring high tolerance levels. The product is lightweight and strong, with a thickness of 19 mm.
Ventilated Facade System
This system provides a physical separation between the facade's exterior and the building's interior wall, enhancing thermal and acoustic performance. It includes a ceramic plate covering, anchoring structure, insulation material, support system, and air chamber, offering significant thermal, acoustic, aesthetic, functional, and structural advantages.
Thermal and Acoustic Advantages
The system eliminates thermal bridges, achieving energy savings of 15% to 35%. It increases the building's thermal mass and acts as a shield against solar radiation. The air chamber and ceramic covering reduce external noise by 10% to 20%.
Functional and Construction Advantages
The system is easy to install, with mechanical anchors calculated to withstand wind and gravitational loads. It offers great strength and durability, reducing the risk of cracks and improving facade aesthetics. The design allows for easy replacement of individual tiles and prevents condensation, requiring minimal maintenance.
Aesthetic Advantages
Frontek offers a variety of pieces in different sizes, textures, and colors for unique facade designs, enhancing building aesthetics.
Conditions of Use and Assembly
Installation should follow Greco Gres Internacional's instructions or be performed by endorsed specialist firms. A detailed study of the project design is necessary to identify anchorage points and ensure material compatibility.
Facade System
The Frontek ventilated facade system uses a metallic substructure for cladding, with two attachment systems: Greco Gres FVI Plus (cramps) and Greco Gres FVI Superplus (horizontal guides).
Insulation
The ventilated facade provides thermal and acoustic insulation, improving weatherproofing without additional insulation if mounted on an insulated wall.
Attachments
Basic components include Frontek facing panels, vertical and horizontal aluminum sections, stainless steel cramps, self-drilling screws, and support brackets.
Finishes
Corner finishing involves a simple pilaster edge cut for an impeccable aesthetic result. Specific solutions are available for openings like doors and windows.
