Ventilated Stone Facades | PIMAR - Italian Limestone Specialist

For 150 years, Pimar has epitomized Italian excellence in Lecce stone craftsmanship, extracting and transforming limestone from its 40-hectare quarries into versatile design solutions, earning prestigious certifications like UNI EN ISO 9001-2015 and ASSORESTAURO. Due to its technical characteristics, Pimar's Ventilated Stone Walls insulate and protect buildings for environmentally conscious, energy-efficient buildings.

Ventilated stone facades represent a fundamental solution in contemporary architecture, where the focus is increasingly on creating healthy, energy-efficient, and eco-sustainable environments. Thanks to their exceptional technical properties, ventilated stone facades provide multiple advantages: they improve thermal insulation, protect the building structure, and significantly reduce heat dispersion. This combination enhances indoor comfort while lowering energy consumption, aligning perfectly with modern sustainable design principles. To achieve these benefits, the outer protective layer must consist of carefully processed natural stone slabs, specifically designed for anchoring with dry installation systems. The ideal stone thickness ensures durability and structural lightness, making the architectural composition efficient and visually refined.

To meet contemporary design trends, natural stone slabs are precision-cut with reduced thicknesses. This careful processing makes the material lighter and easier to handle and expands creative possibilities, allowing architects to explore a wide range of textures, patterns, and finishes. Choosing a ventilated stone facade means embracing a solution that combines functionality, durability, and timeless elegance—perfect for projects that demand high-performance materials without compromising on design.
