Now it has become possible to create smooth seamless facades that reliably and uncompromisingly protect the insulation from the effects of adverse weather conditions: rain and wind, and most importantly, their combined effect. Hinged facade system with air gap AQUAPANEL® is a multilayer construction of external wall insulation made in the form of a cladding attached to the frame at a distance from the thermal insulation layer with the formation of a ventilated air layer.
In the hinged facade system AQUAPANEL® AQUAPANEL is used as cladding® Cement slab Outside with various types of finishes (plaster, paint, clinker tiles, etc.), which allows the use of previously unattainable combinations of materials, textures and colors on the facade, using only one curtain facade system.
Advantages of a ventilated facade over other types of external insulation:
- guaranteed removal of condensed moisture from the wall of the building;
- protection of load-bearing walls from atmospheric influences;
- reduction of noise level.
Features of the hinged facade system AQUAPANEL®
- Provides the possibility of widespread use of modern finishing materials.
- Creates a two-level highly effective protection of external walls against climatic influences.
- It does not require preliminary leveling of the bearing wall surface, moreover, the system allows you to level irregularities and other surface defects, which is cheaper and easier in comparison with plastering.
- Maintenance-free service life up to 50 years.
- Fireproof system. Fire hazard class K0.
- In the summer, it reduces sudden changes in wall surface temperature, which helps to maintain a comfortable indoor climate.
- Provides standard heat engineering characteristics of the insulation, reliably protecting it from moisture.
Construction of AQUAPANEL air-gap curtain wall system® includes:
- bearing brackets attached to the building base (wall) using anchor dowels or anchors;
- bearing vertical and horizontal guides attached to the brackets with rivets or self-tapping screws;
- thermal insulation products (if there are requirements for thermal insulation), installed on the wall in one or two layers and attached with disc dowels;
- a hydro-windproof membrane (if necessary), fixed during the installation of the structure with the same disc dowels on the outer surface of the insulation layer;
- cladding in the form of reinforced cement-mineral slabs AQUAPANEL® Outside with hidden fastening to the guides and subsequent finishing with Knauf materials;
- details of the junction of the system to openings, corners, plinth, roof and other areas of the building.
Hinged facade system AQUAPANEL® are completed with all consumables and products necessary for the installation of the system (disc dowels, fiberglass mesh, plaster profiles, etc.). The complete set of the external insulation system is important not only for ease of installation, but also, to a greater extent, for ensuring the quality and durability of the system, since the components are selected taking into account the technical requirements that determine their use in the system.
Application
Hinged facade system AQUAPANEL® intended for insulation of walls of newly erected and reconstructed buildings from the outside. It is used for insulation of both multi-storey and low-rise buildings for various purposes. Application of the Hinged facade system AQUAPANEL® allowed on buildings up to 75 m high. Facing with AQUAPANEL material® The cement slab will provide an architectural expression comparable to a plaster façade, with all the advantages of a ventilated façade. When using the Hinged facade system AQUAPANEL® a smooth, seamless surface is created, and if necessary, ventilated facades with curved surfaces can be made. The technology makes it possible to obtain a surface of radial or curved curvature as easily as a straight surface. Make any of your projects a reality.
Facade technologies from KNAUF - solutions and service at a high level
System facade solutions from Knauf are easily and quickly implemented with the help of prepared albums of technical solutions and elaborated specifications. In addition, technical consultants will support you in planning construction work, and in the production of work - master demonstrators at the construction site. Knauf also organizes training courses on complete systems AQUAPANEL®… If necessary, calculations of the bearing capacity of the system and the preliminary consumption of materials for a specific object are provided.
