A well-designed ventilated facade is a key element of a building, combining functionality, aesthetics and energy efficiency. We present several steps that are worth taking into account when designing a ventilated facade.

Analysis of Climatic Conditions
Understanding the region's climatic conditions, such as rainfall, snow, temperatures, humidity and wind, is crucial. This influences the selection of appropriate materials and ventilation systems.
Selection of Ventilated Facade Materials
Choose the right materials for a ventilated facade. Popular options include fiber-cement boards, composites, ceramics, wood and metal. Make sure they are weather-resistant and easy to maintain.
Thermal isolation
The thermal insulation coefficient should be taken into account in the design. A ventilated facade can improve the energy efficiency of a building by providing better thermal insulation.
Ventilation System
Choose the right ventilation system. Ventilated systems may include vents, gaps or ducts. It is also worth considering a ventilation control system.
Fire safety
Ensure that the facade design meets fire safety requirements. Some materials are more fire resistant than others, and ventilation systems may require additional protection.
Aesthetics and Design
Design the facade taking into account the aesthetics and architectural style of the building. Choose colors, textures and layouts that harmonize with the overall design.
Installation and Suspended Systems
Decide whether the facade will be mounted on a grid or an invisible screw system. An appropriate suspension system is crucial for the stability and durability of the facade.
Vertical and Horizontal Ventilation
Consider using vertical and horizontal ventilation in your facade design. This helps distribute air pressure evenly and reduce possible humidity problems.
Monitoring and Maintenance
Design a monitoring system that will allow you to track the technical condition of the facade. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial to maintaining its efficiency and aesthetics.
Cooperation of the Design Team
Teamwork is key. Architects, engineers, air conditioning and construction specialists should work together from the very beginning of the project.
