Various types of ventilated façade structures are currently on the market. The main difference is the material used for the outer coating. Based on this, experts note that the most popular today are facades with an external cladding made of composite material, fiber-cement or ceramic plates, natural granite or metal cassettes. They all have their own special physical, technical and technological features, which should be considered in more detail..
The outer covering of the ventilated facade in the form of a composite panel is a sandwich made of aluminum sheets with a protective layer applied to them and a special paint and varnish coating. A layer of heat-insulating polymer is located between the sheets. Therefore, the ventilation facade with such an outer layer is lightweight, is not subject to corrosion and UV rays, and is easy to install..
The outer layer of ceramic granite ventilated facades is made of artificial stone slabs. The technology of their production involves pressing the substance at a high temperature. The result is a material with high strength, durability and absolute waterproofness..
In contrast to it, the coating of natural granite has a natural origin, due to which the exterior of the building is given a respectable exterior and design of an expensive building. A wide variety of natural colors makes this material unique, as well as a large number of options for processing and finishing.
In addition, fiber cement slabs (minerite) can be used for the manufacture of ventilated facades. This kind of cladding material is obtained by pressing cement. During the production process, the material acquires frost-resistant, fire and waterproof properties, as well as the ability to withstand temperature extremes.
The lightest and most durable cladding for ventilated facades are metal cassettes. As its basis, stainless steel or aluminum plates are used. To extend the service life of such plates, they have surface polymer spraying..
