Facade System - Wood-Aluminium Unitised Facade | Gutmann

The complexities of today's unitised facades can be exemplified just by listing the many factors that have to be evaluated and balanced to ensure the desired levels of thermal, acoustic, and visual comfort together with static requirements, safety, accessibility, and aesthetic excellence. With a profound knowledge and understanding of aluminium as well as wood-aluminium systems and their functional requirements, GUTMANN has developed a façade system that combines Wood and Aluminium and is flawless in design, function, and performance.

Benefits

• High Performance
  WoodAluminium façade is designed for minimum energy usage while being consistent with meeting environmental needs of lowering the CO² footprint, using both renewable and recycled materials.
  
  
• Endurance
  Conceived and designed for maximum endurance, GUTMANN's unitised façade system combines extruded aluminium profiles that act as a frame and an outer aluminium cladding that provides excellent resistance, completed with solid wood as an interior structural shell and finishing material, not only for its aesthetic beauty, but also to enhance indoor acoustics and thermal comfort.
  
  
• Adaptability
  From the simplest to the most ambitious architectural project, the unitized facade solution can be customized to the project's purpose.
  
  
• Expert workmanship
  Decades of experience in the development and implementation of high-quality aluminium façade solutions and the know-how in wood aluminium window systems.
  
  
• Quick & easy fitting
  Aiming to enhance quality control, improve the installation process and reduce labour costs, all system components are pre-engineered and supplied by GUTMANN. In addition, their two-step mounting process allows for the aluminium chassis to be assembled and fully prefabricated off-site and mounted unit by unit on-site, while the prefabricated wooden shells can be easily fitted by the installer when the construction site provides dry and clean conditions.
  
  
• Sustainability
  GUTMANN's WoodAluminium unitised façade system partly substitutes aluminium profiles on the inside with wooden shells which are mechanically fixed to act as one static profile. The entire system can be fully dismantled, and their components disassembled and sorted for recycling (aluminium, wood, steel, EPDM, etc.). For the WoodAluminium system only European FSC® certified wood sourced from central European woods in Bavaria, Czechia and Austria are used.
