APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Ventilated façade systems are lightweight when compared to brick and masonry solutions and can provide the designer with a wide range of aesthetic options.

In addition to thermal performance, fire performance of insulation materials is a crucial consideration, particularly when designing high-rise buildings or when the buildings will have high occupancy levels or vulnerable occupants.

Rainscreen ventilated facade systems are suitable for a range of backgrounds and substrates including concrete and masonry walls in addition to steel frame constructions.
