The list of advantages of using the ventilated facade option when arranging external walls of buildings is quite extensive and includes the following points:
- Possibility of insulation and waterproofing.
- Minimal costs and fast turnaround times.
- Wide aesthetic possibilities and versatility of use (used both for finishing high-rise buildings and small structures).
The most practical types of finishing materials for ventilated facades include the so-called closed and open metal cassettes made of aluminum, various steel grades or composite alloys. They represent:
- Square, rectangular (the most common and popular models) or other shapes (for example, honeycomb).
- Constructions with sides bent inward (2-4 cm), which gives them the shape of a box or cassette (hence the name).
The upper edge of such a cassette has a special fold for engaging with another product during installation, as well as holes for attaching to the ventilated facade lathing. The lower edge is engaging and equipped with outlets for the outlet of condensate formed on the inside.
Key benefits
Metal cassettes for facades are made from rolled products with a thickness of 0.7 to 1 mm (as a rule) and, therefore, are classified as fairly lightweight finishing materials. In this case:
- Easy to install on the battens, regardless of the material of its manufacture.
- Provide protection not only of the walls of the building, but also of the installed heat or waterproofing from the external environment (precipitation, dust and dirt particles contained in the air).
- Practical, do not require regular painting and are easy to clean with chemicals.
- Do not lose their shape during temperature changes, resistant to ultraviolet radiation.
- Durable (service life is at least 25 years), easy to dismantle and can be re-installed (if necessary).
And another significant advantage is a wide selection of colors and shapes (you can get acquainted with the types here , on the manufacturer's website), which allows you to create exclusive or branded outdoor designs (for example, a retail network with numerous branches throughout the country). When choosing cassettes and everything necessary for their installation, just open the catalog or order a call back from the resource manager, who will answer all your questions.
