Fermacell outdoor boards
Fermacell recommends three products for making facades.
Fermacell Powerpanel H2O cement-fibre board. Fermacell Powerpanel HD cement fibre board and Fermacell gypsum fibre board for use on the building facade, but with certain restrictions. gypsum fibre board can be used outside only in places such as:
- walls and ceilings in tunnels or arcades
- facade cornices
- where the board is covered with a roof
- walls and ceilings in covered car parks
Powerpanel H2O Fermacell board ventilated facade.
We use Powerpanel H2O fiber-cement board as a carrier layer for target plasters in ventilated facades. The board is also widely used as a carrier for sheet metal or wooden cladding. Powerpanel H2O board is made of lightweight concrete reinforced with mesh. Thanks to the use of mineral components, the manufacturer Fermacell has obtained a product resistant to alkalis and fire resistance according to class A1. Fermacell Powerpanel H2O cement-fibre boards are non-flammable.
- If we do not cover the Powerpanel H2O board surface with external plaster, we must remember to use them in places protected from direct exposure to weather conditions.
- The boards can be covered with facade paint in the protected areas and left as the final finish of the facade surface.
- When the entire surface of the Powerpanel H2O cement-fibre board facade is filled, the facade can be used as the final finish. The system consists of Fermacell HD lightweight mortar, Fermacell HD reinforcing fabric, Fermacell HD reinforcing glue, reinforcing tape on the joints of Fermacell HD boards.
Fermacell Powerpanel HD cement board.
The Powerpanel HD board is used on a ventilated facade as a structure for clinker facade tiles, facade plaster or stoneware tiles. Fermacell Powerpanel HD is often used as a stiffening element for the façade of a building. The building supervision authority approves the Powerpanel HD as a co-load-bearing and stiffening element for façade cladding. As above. Fermacell Powerpanel HD board is also suitable for direct application of facade plasters.
Advantages of concrete facade boards Fermacell.
Advantages of Feracell fibre-cement boards are:
- resistance to weather conditions and moisture
- non-flammability defined by class A1
- impact and puncture resistance
- easy to process without specialist tools
- friendly assembly method
- minimal dimensional changes under the influence of temperature or moisture
- required certificates and approvals
- the construction process does not require the use of water, shortening the construction process and making it independent of weather conditions
Fermacel recommends installation of facade panels on an aluminum structure.
Profiles made of aluminum have natural anti-corrosion resistance and are completely resistant to the weather conditions that prevail in the facade system ventilated. The lower weight of the profiles means that heavier facade claddings can be installed on the same facade. We value the aluminum supporting structure for ventilated facades because it is faster to install and all elements are straight and even. During the design, the thermal expansion of the structure should be taken into account and expansion gaps between the panels should be maintained so that excessive stresses do not occur on the facade panels. Too much stress transferred to the panel causes deformation of the panels and even cracks of the facade panels. An additional expansion role is played by the supporting structure in which the supporting profile is attached to the wall with anchors. There can only be one anchor along the entire length of the supporting profile, which is called a permanent anchor and creates a permanent mounting point for the structure. The permanent anchor can occur in the middle, top or bottom part of the supporting profile. The remaining anchors of the supporting structure under the facade cladding are fastened movably, so that they do not constitute a restriction for the thermal expansion of the main profile. Considering the operation of the aluminum substructure, it should be remembered that the profiles should always be joined where the facade panel is joined. The connection of profiles falling under the panel in the event of blocking the compensation possibilities on the structure will make the panel vulnerable to destruction. Note: the maximum distance between the vertical structure is 625 mm! Strips exposed to wind suction are assessed according to the applicable PN and EN standards.
Fermacell external panels: a perfect solution for building facades. Modern facades.
The facade of a building plays a key role in terms of both aesthetics and protection of the structure from the elements. In this context, Fermacell external cement boards stand out as an innovative solution that combines aesthetics with durability. Below we present the main applications of these boards and why it is worth considering buying them for building facades. These boards offer a wide range of facade design possibilities. Available in various colors and structures, they allow the creation of modern, elegant facades that give buildings a unique character. Their design flexibility makes them ideal for use in various architectural styles. Do you need to make external siding? Check out Fermacell concrete facade boards, which are resistant to weather conditions. Remember that building facades are exposed to intense weather conditions, such as rain, snow, UV radiation and variable temperatures. Fermacell external boards have been designed with durability and resistance to these factors in mind. Thanks to this, they maintain their quality and aesthetics even in difficult conditions. One of the key aspects of Fermacell external boards is their ability to provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation. They constitute an effective thermal barrier, helping to maintain stable temperature inside the building. In addition, they reduce outside noise, creating a calm and comfortable interior. Fermacell external facade boards not only provide aesthetics and functionality, but also play a protective role for the building structure. They protect the walls against moisture, fungi and other factors that could negatively affect the durability of the structure.
Where can Fermacell boards be used – External cement facade boards?
Fermacell external cement boards are specially adapted to building facades. Their versatility allows them to be used both in newly built buildings and during the renovation of existing facades. They are an ideal solution not only for residential buildings, but also for public or industrial buildings. It is worth noting that although Fermacell external boards are an excellent choice for facades, their use on the roof may require additional consultation with industry specialists to ensure adequate insulation and resistance to roof loads.
