With our modular range, you decide what you want and do without what you don't need:

  • Primary substructure

    The primary substructure of a rear-ventilated façade serves as a load-bearing base for the cladding and transfers its loads safely to the building structure. The construction must be weather-resistant, structurally stable and permanently anchored. Its exact design depends on the façade material and the building physics requirements.

    As a specialist in rear-ventilated façades, we are familiar with the statics and thermal conductivity of the façade.

    Layers
  • Thermal insulation

    The thermal insulation in the rear-ventilated façade is installed between the load-bearing wall and the substructure. It serves to reduce heat loss and makes a significant contribution to the energy efficiency of the building. The insulation must be laid precisely and protected against moisture in order to guarantee its long-term function. The separation of insulation and weather protection keeps it dry and efficient.

    Layers
  • Secondary substructure

    The secondary substructure of a ventilated façade connects the façade cladding to the primary supporting structure. It usually consists of horizontal or vertical profiles that are attached to the primary substructure. Their task is to hold the façade elements and allow the cladding to be precisely adjusted. The structure must be corrosion-resistant, dimensionally stable and adapted to the thermal movements of the façade.

    Layers
  • Building surface

    The cladding of the building envelope on a rear-ventilated façade forms the visible, external finish of the façade system. It not only protects the building from weather influences such as rain, wind and UV radiation, it also fulfills an aesthetic and representative function in the façade design.

    A wide variety of materials are used, such as fiber cement, ceramic, metal, glass or naturalstone - depending on the design and functional requirements. The cladding is mechanically attached to the substructure and leaves the rear ventilation gap free.

    Layers
  • Metal components Building envelope

    Metal components such as window frames, cover grilles and drip plates are important functional and design elements of the building envelope for ventilated façades. They ensure a clean finish at openings and transitions and at the same time protect against moisture penetration.

    The components must be precisely manufactured and professionally installed so as not to impair rear ventilation or drainage. In addition to their protective function, they also contribute to the visual structure and enhancement of the façade.
