Hinged Ventilated Facade

A hinged ventilated facade is a structure consisting of a metal frame   And facade facing material. Very often in the structure of hinged facade systems with an air gap, the use of a facade insulation is envisaged.

A ventilated facade is used In the construction and reconstruction of industrial and civil (including private) construction.

The hinged ventilated facade should always provide for the possibility of air circulation between the cladding material and the building wall, or the cladding material and the thermal insulation layer on the building wall.

Advantages of ventilated facades

Hinged ventilated facades provide reliable protection of the building walls from wind and rain.

Moisture or condensation formed on the surface of the walls or on the surface of the heat-insulating layer of the ventilated facade is led out through the ventilation layer by air flows in the ventilation layer.

The ability of a ventilated facade to self-release internal layers from excess moisture is one of its most important advantages. The elements of the ventafasade support structure and the facade insulation are always dry and do not need to be replaced over a long period of operation, which ensures the operational reliability and durability of the building.

The system of hinged ventilated facades preserves heat in winter and protects against high thermal load in summer. This provides all-season comfort inside the building.

External facade cladding is an effective protection of the building walls against atmospheric precipitation and a "shield" from external mechanical damage.

Hinged facade systems provide maximum heat and sound insulation, create a favorable microclimate in the buildings.

Conclusions:

1. The systems of hinged ventilated facades provide natural ventilation of the facade of the building, thus achieving a comfortable microclimate in the premises without the use of additional expensive air conditioning systems;
2. Heaters in ventilated facade systems are protected from the effects of precipitation and condensation, which significantly increases their energy-saving properties and reduces energy costs for heating. Also, the customer is able to reduce the thickness of the bearing walls of the building, thereby reducing the load on the foundation;
3. In the systems of hinged ventilated facades, the moisture balance and thermal insulation of the building are easily ensured both in summer and in winter weather, when the conditions for carrying out construction and installation work are not entirely favorable;
4. Thermal insulation of buildings in hinged facade systems is guaranteed in accordance with the requirements of modern standards. Heaters used in ventilated facades provide the necessary values for determining the dew point and calculating the required values for the thickness of insulation layers;
5. The structures of hinged facade systems exclude moisture from entering the insulation and walls of the building from external sources (rain, snow, etc.);
6. Water vapor arising in the walls of the building during its operation is removed by natural ventilation provided by the hinged facade system, which significantly improves the thermal insulation properties of the building walls and provides a comfortable temperature regime inside the building;
7. Due to the specially designed mounting schemes and methods of fixing the elements of the supporting structures of the ventilated facade to the wall, any profile hinged facade system has the ability to absorb thermal deformations that occur during daily and seasonal temperature differences. This helps to avoid internal stresses in the cladding material and the supporting structure itself;
8. Hinged facade systems include reliable, difficult to burn or non-combustible materials that prevent the spread of fire. As facings in ventilated facades use ceramic granite, natural stone or its analogs, metal cassettes, non-combustible composite materials;
9. Suspended facade systems absorb noise from external sources well. Facing material for a ventilated facade, air layer and facade insulation themselves have good sound-absorbing properties and their integrated use give an excellent sound absorption effect. In buildings where the hinged facade system is applied, there is a comfortable silence even in the noisiest areas adjacent to the railways and roads.
