Ventilated Facades
The advantages of Florim porcelain stoneware facades
Ventilated façades are exterior cladding systems that create an air gap between the wall structure and the outer cladding and can incorporate an insulation layer. The thermal and envelope-protection performance depends on the overall system configuration and the project specifications. Porcelain stoneware slabs are available in various sizes up to 160x320 cm.
Thermal performance
The ventilation chamber supports passive and natural airflow and allows an insulation layer to be integrated. Its contribution to the thermal performance of the building envelope depends on the overall system configuration, the insulation and the project specifications.
Low maintenance
Porcelain stoneware cladding is designed to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. Maintenance needs and frequency depend on the system configuration and exposure conditions.
Weather resistant
Florim facades are extremely resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, salt spray, and acid rain, making them suitable for all weather conditions.
UV and stain resistant
Florim facades are non-porous, making them resistant to stains and graffiti. Moreover, they do not change color over time.
Infinite design options
A wide selection of colors, finishes, and sizes up to 160x320, drawing inspiration from concrete, stone, marble, wood, and more.
Cost-effective solutions
Porcelain stoneware cladding is designed to facilitate cleaning and maintenance. Maintenance needs and frequency depend on the system configuration and exposure conditions.
Rain effect
The ventilated façade configuration supports moisture management at the structural wall and contributes to protecting the waterproofing layer.
Lightweight
Florim facades are extremely lightweight, reducing stress on the building structure and making them suitable even for renovations.
