2 | PIZ cladding systems Cladding systems

PIZ is an innovative cladding system for civil and industrial buildings. The structure is installed by securing light alloy guides on the surface to be covered and then fixing the insulating Piz panels on these guides. The panel is made up of a modified fibre-reinforced cement mortar layer coupled with a slab of insulating material. The grooves on the upper and lower edges of the cement element serve the purpose of housing the assembly sections. PIZ was developed to satisfy the growing needs of the construction market in terms of energy savings and architectural improvement. The system is...

PIZ | 13 The PIZ system can be mounted on any surface (reinforced cement, brick, metal structure, etc.). In case of renovation work, no preliminary activity or cleaning of the support surface is required. Panels are fixed on the surface by means of an anchoring system and of special section bars. Installation requires simple mechanical operations; no skilled workers or special components other than those provided with the system are necessary. Panels are mounted in a horizontal direction. Vertically, the installation is performed from bottom to top. Standard arrangements can be accomplished...

PIZ | 15 Specific thermal conductance of the panel: standard 54 = 0,69 W/m2K plus 66 = 0,54 W/m2K H89 = 0,39 W/m2K Water vapour permeability: transpiring system with open joints. Water Vapour Permeability: ì=86 Water Absorption: under full water immersion after one hour less than 0,03 Kg/m2 Panel weight: 20 Kg/m2 (average weight) Resistance under wind suction test: variable from 3300 N/m2 (min) to 6270 N/m2 (max) depending on panel size and type of joint. Impact Resistance: in compliance with category I e III ETAG 17. The system passes the impact soft test (400 Joule) and hard impact test...

PIZ | 27 In cooperation with the “Politecnico di Milano” Technical University, Piz srl has developed PIZ I.S., a cladding system obtained using titanium dioxide to alter the material’s surface characteristics, generating photocatalysis and superhydrophilicity. Thanks to its special dirt-resistant characteristics, PIZ I.S. enables to contain cleaning and maintenance costs, exploiting the chemical reaction following light absorption by a catalyst, also known as superhydrophilicity. This phenomenon enables the water to spread evenly on the surface without generating drops. Thus, PIZ I.S....
