How to Install Ventilated Facades Using Wooden Panels

This vertical cladding for facades is a high-density laminated panel, composed of a core of paper fibers -compressed at high temperature and pressure- and an outer coating highly resistant to weathering and UV radiation. The wood used in the panels has been treated with Everlook®, a component that - without the need for maintenance - extends the useful life of the panel and the stability of its color regardless of weather conditions.

To generate a ventilated facade with these panels, each unit must be installed on vertical profiles, producing an uninterrupted airflow behind the panel. Here's how to do it.

Ventilated Facades: Not All Technologies Are Equal

Today, the construction industry is faced with increasingly challenging demands in terms of safety, energy saving and aesthetics. In fact, very strict energy and safety regulations and standards have been put in place to make sure new buildings, but also renovated ones, are fire and earthquake resistant while safeguarding the environment. At present, the ventilated facade is one of the most widely used and most innovative systems, in both residential and production sectors: it is an excellent vertical closing system characterised by fire-retardant and anti-seismic elements, which can insulate a building both thermally and acoustically, reducing the impact of weathering on masonry structures (UNI 11018).
