Facades from aluminum - pros and cons
Basically aluminum facade panels are used for building finishing. In this case, the so-called "ventilated facade" is provided. In general, it is used for finishing multi-storey buildings, since it looks rather absurd on houses of small height. Aluminum facade profile with glass aggregate( or MDF plates) can be used to equip kitchen cabinets.
This facade has a large number of advantages of .Its most important advantage is its resistance to temperature changes, effects of atmospheric phenomena( rain, snow, frost).The present method of lining is durable, and it can have different sizes.
In one facade frame, you can combine several materials. Also, the advantage of aluminum lining is resistance to mechanical damage, and even simplicity and speed of installation, the color variety of the material.
However, aluminum facades also have .The most important drawback is the high cost of the material, the more metal can lose its shine and color over time. Also, such a structure can easily be scratched, and sharp corners of the structure can cause human injury.
Aluminum facades - production and application
In general, aluminum facades are used for building facades, which have a rather complex device. The manufacturing process provides for such steps:
- aluminum sheet is coated with several anti-corrosion layers( lacquer, film, plastic plate)
- plate passes several stages of lacquering;
- varnish panels need several times different varnishes, on top of which after drying a protective film is glued.
Of these slabs, you can make whole facade aluminum structures. The presented panels are made of aluminum tape, therefore it is possible to produce them of different width and length. The facade of these plates looks very beautiful, the more it is easily mounted. This facade provides not only good wall protection, but also their good ventilation, which prevents rotting walls, the appearance of fungi and mold. In addition, it provides additional insulation of the building.
As the size of the plates is large enough, the aluminum facade systems are mounted quickly. Moreover, such material does not weight the building, but also helps to level the walls and hide various defects.
Mounting of aluminum facades and operation features of
The assembly of aluminum facades is made from composites that form the structure of the entire appearance of the wall. To do this, you need brackets, profiles, insulation and, in fact, facing slabs.
Installation of aluminum facades begins with the installation of brackets, because thanks to them the weight of the structure is transferred to the supporting wall. They must withstand the necessary load, and also change their length, depending on the situation. Naturally, they must be made of a metal that does not lend themselves to corrosive processes.
Next, fixing the insulation plates of mineral wool, which immediately after fastening are closed with special protective membranes. Now the guide profiles are mounted, into which the facing slabs are then installed.
There are no special recommendations regarding the maintenance of this facade, it is only necessary to remember that aluminum does not tolerate aggressive detergents, since its appearance changes and then it is very difficult to wash the surface.
