The proverb "They meet by their clothes …" accurately describes not only the nuances of relationships between people, but also the peculiarities of the perception of architectural objects. In order to assess whether the building looks good, a quick glance at the facade is enough. But you can only understand how comfortable the house is after spending a certain amount of time in it.
In an effort to create a memorable image of an object and at the same time make it comfortable for life, architects have resorted to various technologies. One of the most popular is the ALT150 ventilated facade system manufactured by ALUTECH Group.
Why is this needed?
Suspended ventilated facades are a system consisting of facing materials that are attached to a metal frame to the load-bearing layer of the wall or to a monolithic ceiling. This technology is used in two cases:
- When building a new house to protect the outer walls from climatic influences (high humidity, sun, wind), as well as an element of exterior design.
- When reconstructing an old building, when the appearance of the facade and its protective functions are poor.
Moreover, unlike, for example, plaster facades, which can only be installed at temperatures above 5 ° C, ALT150 ventilated facade structures are installed in almost any weather. This allows you to significantly reduce the construction or restoration time of the facility.
In general, regardless of the age and purpose of the building on which the ventilation facade is installed, it is designed at the same time:
- increase the service life of the object,
- increase the energy efficiency of the structure,
- decorate it.
How it works?
We increase the service life of the object
The facade finishing technique using the ALT150 system assumes that a gap is maintained between the facing material and the building wall, which ensures free air circulation and, as a result, removes excess moisture from the wall surface. This solution eliminates the possibility of mold and thereby increases the life of buildings.
At the same time, all ALT150 elements are made of aluminum and stainless steel - materials that are resistant to corrosion. Due to this, the structures, which are created on the basis of the profile system from ALUTECH, serve for many years, maintaining a presentable appearance. The maintenance-free service life of the ALT150 ventilation facade is at least 50 years in a mildly and moderately aggressive environment and at least 40 years in a moderately aggressive seaside urban environment. If a special protective coating is applied to the substructure of the system, their service life will increase by another 15-20 years.
Reducing heating and air conditioning costs
The hinged ventilation facade can be insulated and not insulated. Considering how cold and snowy winter can be in our region, and how windy and rainy autumn is sometimes, we advise you to choose the "warm" option. The air gap will keep the insulation dry, thereby increasing its thermal insulation properties.
Ventilation facade installation ALT150 is also an effective way to save on air conditioning. In the summer heat, the sun's rays fall on the cladding, and the air gap ensures their rapid cooling.
We create a stylish architectural object
The ALT150 system opens up almost limitless possibilities for the design of ventilated facades. Specially designed guides and components of the system allow you to quickly and safely install cladding materials of various shapes, sizes and colors. These can be composite materials based on aluminum, concrete, fiber cement, laminates, as well as ceramics and natural stone. Thanks to such a variety of solutions, architects have the opportunity to realize their most daring ideas.
Thus, installing the ALT150 ventilation facade is a great way to get rid of a number of problems in one fell swoop. Rain, wind and sun will no longer have a destructive effect on walls, which, in addition to protection, will receive additional insulation. In addition, this technology allows you to hide possible wall irregularities and other minor defects, as well as decorate the building in accordance with modern architectural trends.
