] Innovation and expertise [ At all times, exacting architects have been in search of something new or different to express their architectural vision while still satisfying their customers’ wishes in line with the function and expression of the building and its setting. More and more frequently, aesthetic changes and new expectations are calling for different, innovative solutions.

Energy In terms of insulation, ventilated façade systems enable high adaptability with respect to the individual building’s climatic requirements. The ventilated gap ensures that the insulation is kept dry, thereby maintaining its effectiveness and diminishing energy costs in the long term – a factor of growing significance in the light of increasing energy prices. Ventilated façades retain heat during colder weather due to the storage abilities of the air gap, thus reducing thermal losses and offering PHOTO M. Paternoster, S. pri Litiji and D.

Each façade panel is individually attached to the sub-structure and is therefore statically autonomous of the supporting wall. The cladding can dilate without restraint in spite of thermal expansion of sub-framing and panels. Moreover, the elasticity of the cladding PHOTO Antonio...

The structural separation of the different material layers corresponds with the conceptual mindset of architects. In ventilated façades the various functional layers are clearly separated and separable, and the ventilated gap between the cladding and the insulation layer reinforces the structural concept.
