  • One point of contact from concept to completion

FIVE-PART UNIVERSAL VENTILATED FAÇADE BUILD-UP

  1. 1

    Existing masonry wall

    Prepared masonry or structural wall supporting the façade system.

  2. 2

    PIR insulation layer

    Continuous rigid insulation improving the external thermal envelope.

  3. 3

    Timber or aluminium substructure

    Rails transfer façade loads and establish the required cavity depth.

  4. 4

    Ventilated cavity

    Open drainage and airflow space behind the exterior finish.

  5. 5

    Exterior façade cladding

    Durable outer finish defining the architectural appearance.

KEY TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES

CONTINUOUS EXTERNAL INSULATION

Install PIR continuously outside the wall to limit thermal bridging.

VENTILATED CAVITY

Maintain a continuous cavity for upward airflow and safe drainage.

PROJECT-SPECIFIC SUBSTRUCTURE

Select material, spacing and anchors for the cladding, wind and substrate.

CONTROLLED OPENINGS

Protect base and top openings while maintaining sufficient free area.

MATERIAL-SPECIFIC FIXING

Coordinate fixings, joints and support spacing with the selected system.

FIRE AND WIND VERIFICATION

Verify cavity barriers, fixing resistance and wind-load performance.

EXAMPLES OF COMPONENTS USED IN THE SYSTEM

Components are selected for the façade material, panel format, building height, exposure and project requirements.
