Harmony of design, energy efficiency, solid construction

Ventilated elevation consists of constructing a systemic aluminum or steel structure on the wall of the building proper, on which the cladding panels are mounted. Ventilated elevation guarantees transfer of the dew point from the wall of the building proper to the surface of the thermal insulation. The thermal insulation is constantly ventilated by air flowing between the insulation layer and the back of the cladding board, through the so-called ventilation chimney.

The wall cross-section consists of:

  • Air gap – from 20 to 50 mm
  • The proper wall
  • Thermal insulation layers – hard facade wool from 80 to 150 mm
  • Air gap – from 20 to 50 mm
  • Linings – from 8 to 25mm

The building obtains:

  • Moving the dew point outside the wall
  • Dry walls proper
  • Excellent thermal and insulation properties even after drying the walls during building renovation
  • Even surface of the facade

The user gets:

  • Interior with ideal humidity
  • Easy to maintain a constant temperature
  • Guaranteed dry walls, which completely eliminates the formation of fungi and mold
  • Additional acoustic insulation
