What are ventilated façades?

A ventilated façade is a system of external building cladding, characterised by an air space between the cladding and the load-bearing wall. The function of the space is to allow for natural air circulation, in this way, improving thermal insulation and reducing humidity.

The main advantages of this type of façade include:

  • Energy efficiency: reduction of heating and cooling costs.
  • Protection of the structure: prevention of moisture and improvement of durability.
  • Living comfort: maintaining more stable indoor microclimate.

Technology of ventilated façades in porcelain stoneware

This system works by exploiting the chimney effect, where warm air rises and is replaced by fresh air, improving the natural ventilation of the building.

Ventilated façades are composed of several layers, including:

  • Outer cladding: ceramic, metal, wood or other resistant materials.
  • Support structure: generally made of steel or aluminium.
  • Ventilation space: permits air circulation.
  • Thermal insulation: significant energy saving.

Energy efficiency: insulation and ventilation space

One of the greatest benefits of ventilated porcelain stoneware façades is energy efficiency. Such systems can significantly reduce energy consumption. Through the insulation layer and ventilation space, they contribute to maintaining a more stable indoor microclimate, improving living comfort in terms of both heating and cooling.

Environmental Sustainability

Façades of this type significantly improve thermal insulation and reduce the energy consumption of buildings. It is in fact a building solution that allows efficient management of energy resources, making buildings more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
