VENTILATED FAÇADES

Ventilated façade system components

1)	Support wall Responsible for anchoring and supporting the weight of the cladding and the loads transmitted to it. This wall can be built using ceramic brick or concrete.
2)	Insulation layer Material used to achieve enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation. The type and thickness of the material will be selected according to each project’s requirements.
3)	Air cavity The space between the insulation layer and the ceramic cladding. For effective ventilation, it must have a minimum thickness of 20 mm.
4)	Anchoring system A framework of profiles, brackets, and clips that secure the cladding to support wall.
5)	Cladding Extruded porcelain stoneware pieces that form the external façade finish.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

TEMPERATURE

The ventilated façade significantly improves the building’s thermal insulation by reducing thermal bridges and preventing heat loss thanks to its anchoring system and air cavity.

SUMMER

Material used to achieve enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation. The type and thickness of the material will be selected according to each project’s requirements.

WINTER

The cavity acts as a heat accumulator and, together with the insulation layer, helps maintain indoor temperature.

MOISTURE

The pieces feature near-zero water absorption, preventing frost damage. In addition, the anchoring system is made of stainless steel, ensuring resistance to adverse weather conditions.

RAIN

The system easily withstands rain and wind, protects the wall, and reduces water ingress by facilitating drainage within the façade.

CONDENSATION

Constant ventilation eliminates condensation, keeps the insulation dry, and prevents dampness both inside and outside the wall.

ADVANTAGES OF VENTILATED FAÇADES

Lightness and durability

The hollow-core structure optimizes internal design to reduce panel weight without compromising rigidity. This lightness facilitates handling and on-site installation while significantly reducing static load on anchoring systems and the building envelope.

Acoustic insulation

The combination of porcelain cladding, ventilation cavity, and insulation layer significantly reduces external noise pollution and lowers interior reverberation time.

High performance

Extruded porcelain panels are characterized by high hardness, excellent strength, and low weight. Their hollow-core structure and absence of incisions or additional alterations prevent structural weakening.

Fast and easy installation

Optimized design allows quick and easy installation, reducing on-site execution time and operational costs.

Energy efficiency

Ceramic ventilated façades reduce thermal bridges and enable indoor temperature control—enhancing thermal comfort and energy savings of over 35%.

Fireproof

An inert and non-combustible material made from clay. When exposed to flames, it does not burn, melt, release toxic substances, or contribute to fire spread.

Maintenance-Free

Thanks to its zero porosity, this material requires no maintenance drastically reducing operating costs and ensuring maximum long-term profitability.

CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

NATUR-TECH+ extrusion technology enables the production of pieces with optimized geometries for installation without the need for subsequent machining. Its exclusive hollow-core system provides a firm structure while significantly reducing weight. This engineering combined with porcelain stoneware results in a highly compact material (water absorption < 0.5%) offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

These properties ensure exceptional performance under mechanical stress, extreme climates, and sudden thermal fluctuations. Thanks to their sealed, non-porous surface, the pieces repel stains and simplify maintenance guaranteeing impeccable aesthetics and long-lasting durability even under demanding conditions.

FIXING SYSTEMS FOR COVER

FTS 502 B

Technical fixing system for ceramic ventilated façades using vertical profiles, consisting of retention and support brackets, single and double stainless steel clips, and connection elements. The continuous vertical joint incorporates an EPDM profile to prevent water ingress and vibrations.

The brackets are designed to adapt to different cavity thicknesses. This thermal envelope anchoring system allows spans of up to 1200 mm between vertical profiles.

FTS 506

Technical fixing system for porcelain ventilated façades composed of retention and support brackets with horizontal rails that allow the installation of staggered joints.

Installation: Vertical profiles are fixed onto the brackets, and the horizontal rails are then installed over them. The tolerance adjustment between the ceramic pieces and the horizontal profile is achieved a polyurethane resin–based polymer sealant.

FTS 505 VERTICAL

This system is designed for the vertical installation of ceramic pieces. Unlike other vertical anchoring systems, in the FTS 505 the clip is positioned in the groove rather than in the cavities.

In addition to enhancing the verticality of the façade, the system allows installation with staggered joints. The FTS 505 is characterized by an EPDM profile running along the horizontal joint to protect against water ingress and to dampen vibrations.
