Ventilated facade made of composite panels - features of the properties and operation of
Composite panels( or aluminum composite) are multilayer panels made of synthetic or mineral fillers enclosed between layers of chromated aluminum. Surfaces of the panels have a protective coating and are powder-coated.
The advantages of these panels for ventilated facades are obvious. Their rich color scheme, perfectly regular geometric dimensions best meet the requirements of the urban exterior. The material combines low weight and high strength, is capable of withstanding heavy loads and mechanical impacts, without changing the shape.
Due to their inherent elasticity, the panels restore the initial shape, have good sound insulation and temperature stability. Production technology allows you to produce an aluminum composite of any area and profile with maximum accuracy and repeatability of dimensions.
The panels most commonly used are up to one and a half meters wide. The total thickness of the material is from three to four millimeters( for panels that can be used to cover skyscrapers).Thanks to these properties,
ventilated facades made of composite have gained immense popularity among builders and other consumers.Aluminum ventilated facades during installation suggest the need for high accuracy milling cuttings. Every millimeter is important here, which is knocked out of a given size. The error certainly will not allow the exact installation of the entire system on the right site.
A well-known advantage of any ventilated hinged facade is the possibility of removing the building wall in one plane, giving it the correct geometry.
Ventilated facade of metal siding - what do they deserve trust?
Among the other main advantages that all types of ventilated facades have , one can name the reduction of the cost of heating, long service life( for all at least half a century).Ventilated facades increase the overall strength of the structure to atmospheric influence, provide for the rapid installation of systems regardless of the time of the year, provide an increase in isolation from external noise.
Metallic ventilated facades are very similar in principle to mounting and application of .Among the advantages of using façade cassettes made of galvanized metal up to 1.2 mm thick, note the duration of operation, work in all weather conditions, strength and stability of their outer coating, light weight in comparison with porcelain stoneware and other similar facing materials. The color design of the cassettes is unlimited and allows you to perform any combination to the customer's choice.
The facade from siding, which has become accustomed to time, ventilated , can also be different. The facade is made of polymer clinker material. But the siding panel and mounting accessories can be made of a metal sheet up to half a millimeter thick. In combination with profiling, this sheet provides the necessary stiffness and strength of the outer lining, while preserving the advantages of low weight. At the same time, the usual simplicity of installation remains unchanged.
Other types of ventilated facades - traditions and exotics in construction
The progenitor of modern siding systems, wooden ventilated facade , today received new forms. Modern facade systems of this type are made of natural wood massifs, often of hard and valuable rocks, subjected to complex processing to increase fire resistance, atmospheric and biological influences. Due to this, the service life and technical characteristics of such material are almost equal to artificial lining, but in terms of appearance, neither of them can compete with a tree.
Wooden facade is characterized by a wealth of natural textures, high strength and elasticity( easily resists any wind loads), increased moisture resistance and fire safety, impeccable environmental compatibility and visual appeal. All this, combined with the possibility of quick assembly and replacement of damaged elements, removes wooden facades in the category of prestigious, exclusively status buildings used in decoration.
The largest and most common group is the ventilated facades for brick .The name reflects the fact that brick can indeed be used as a facing material, but materials imitating it can also be used.
For example, inexpensive facade tiles of various shades and shapes are very popular, with the help of which it is possible to create a stylized façade for a noble antiquity. The choice also offers materials that repeat the trendy and modern stone materials. Moreover, not every wall will withstand the installation of a brick shell on brackets using classical technology.
Among the latest trends the most modern ones can be considered as ventilated glass facades .These systems are widely used in high-rise construction, modern office buildings. In the most general approximation, they can be represented as yet another shell of glass, put on the entire structure and structurally made in the form of single sections or insulating glass units fixed on a complex framework of a "cold" profile.
Its design should provide maintenance of the entire facade system - from opening and washing windows to evacuation and extinguishing systems. Of course, such ventilated facade systems are still the most difficult technically today, and it's not for nothing that the developers have been named "intelligent".
