Product catalog summary

Overview of Kronos Facade Systems
Kronos provides a diverse range of wall tiles for both residential and commercial buildings, focusing on aesthetic appeal and low maintenance. They specialize in custom projects for modern architecture, including new constructions and renovations. Their systems, such as ventilated facades, offer enhanced weather protection, thermal and noise insulation, and improved indoor comfort.

Ventilated Facades Systems
These systems involve applying ceramic slabs to a building's exterior, creating a cavity for natural air circulation. This design reduces wall infiltration, disperses heat from sunlight, and minimizes heat loss during winter. The system includes an insulating layer to protect against external moisture. The installation process involves project design, feasibility study, material selection, installation pattern design, and execution. Benefits include extended building lifespan, energy savings, and cost reductions.

Mechanical and Chemical Anchor System - Shingled Installation
The Geco® system uses porcelain stoneware inspired by wooden shingles, with slabs glued to an aluminum support, creating a 4 cm gap from the wall. It can be applied directly to brick or concrete or with a metal substructure and insulation, up to 22 meters high. All Kronos finishes can be used on the Geco® structure.

SIKA TACK Panel System
This system uses a powerful adhesive to bond stoneware and aluminum, leaving no visible metal parts. It is suitable for large slabs and allows creative design freedom. The adhesive hardens quickly, forming a durable elastomer.

Facade Systems Overview
The document provides a detailed description of various facade systems, focusing on ventilated facades and glued building facades. It outlines the specifications, installation procedures, and benefits of each system.

1. Sika Tack Panel System

Uses a single-component polyurethane adhesive that sets quickly by reacting with atmospheric moisture to form a durable elastomer.
Designed for mounting large slabs and allows for creative design freedom without visible metal parts.
An additional concealed hook can be used for enhanced safety.

2. Concealed Mechanical Anchor System

Utilizes special metal hooks and clips that are not visible, designed according to the size and thickness of the material.
Slabs have recesses to house the clips, with variations based on slab size.
Allows for completely dry installation of stoneware, with anchor point distances varying based on slab size and design load.

3. Visible Mechanical Anchor System

Offers an economical and easy-to-install solution with visible hooks.
Adapts to various tile sizes and supports significant loads.
Includes a seal between slabs to ensure adherence, reduce vibrations, and accommodate material expansion.

4. Glued Building Facades

Involves cladding the building with material directly on the external plaster for improved aesthetics and reduced maintenance.
A special mechanical anchor can be used for additional safety, ensuring adherence of stoneware to the wall.
Allows for stoneware to be glued to insulation jackets with the aid of special expansion plugs after assessing masonry and insulation types.

Conclusion
The document highlights the versatility and adaptability of different facade systems, emphasizing their aesthetic and functional benefits, as well as installation considerations.
