Ventilation facades. Finishing of facades

Ventilation heat insulation system of facades is one of the most modern and popular technologies for exterior facing of buildings. There is big world experience in application of ventilation heat insulation systems of facades. They had scarcely appeared when they gained popularity among builders and people living in buildings.

Main elements of ventilation heat insulation systems of facades

The idea of "ventilation facade" itself has appeared in Germany. Ventilation heat insulation system of facades is a construction fixed on exterior surface of the wall. It consists of facing material and underfacing construction. To increase the level of heat insulation between the wall and facing heat insulating filler can be added.

To provide the process of ventilation a compulsory element of ventilation heat insulation system is air gap between the surface of heat insulator and facing which is also connected with exterior air.

Facing material

In ventilation facades facing material can be wood, metal, glass, natural stone, ceramic, concrete, different polymers etc.

Facing layer in the construction of ventilation heat insulation system performs two functions:

• protective: facing material protects heat insulator, underfacing construction and building walls from exterior exposure;
• decorative: finishing of facing can simulate traditional material or create new coatings at the expense of colour and surface pattern.
• Besides, facing materials shall have the following qualities:
• durability and long life;
• resistance to frosts;
• humidity resistance;
• repairability.
