EXATECH

Ceramic Ventilated Facades

EXATECH is a ventilated facade system that comes with high-tech extruded porcelain ceramic panelling that is compatible with most profiling and anchoring systems currently on the market.

This construction method has burst onto the scene to provide projects with a state-of-the-art architectural solution, giving the project the best performance against the elements and offering a fast, economical and environmentally friendly installation solution with a wide variety of exterior cladding for ventilated façades.

Class A1 Fire-Rated

The ​EXATECH system has ​Fire Classifications of A1FL-S1. Resistant to fire and other temperature changes, like frost and ice.

Finishes Available

Exatech has a range of panel formats and finishes, aligned  with the latest architectural trends. Our collection includes textured full-body panels in solid colours, ensuring a consistent hue throughout the surface and core. Using cutting-edge digital inkjet technology, we also offer an extensive selection of glazed ceramic designs that authentically replicate the look of cement, wood, marble, and stone.

Advantages of Ventilated Facades

Installing a ventilated facade offers a series of benefits over traditional systems.

Continuous thermal insulation

Continuous thermal insulation refers to a layer of insulation applied across the entire building envelope without any breaks or gaps, covering all structural elements like studs or joists. This effectively eliminates “thermal bridges” where heat can easily escape through exposed framing, resulting in energy-efficiency.

Reduced heat absorption

The building heat absorption in summer is significantly reduced.

Internal heat accumulation

The inner layer accumulates internal heat in winter.

Reduced condensation

Less condensation and moisture problems due to the constantly renewed air.

Rain Screen

The external layer of the system works as a protective barrier against atmospheric agents, an effect known as “RAIN SCREEN”.

Acoustic performance

Ventilated façades provide very good acoustic insulation due to its non-homogenous structure and material diversity in each layer. This covers a wide spectrum of sound frequencies.

What is a ventilated facade?

A ventilated facade is an enclosure construction solution with a ventilated cavity between the exterior wall tiling panels and the support or interior partition walls. The ventilated cavity allows the exit and entry of air through its openings (bottom and top) as well as between the panel open joints. The origin of ventilated facade systems arises from the need to protect structures from snow and rain. It’s a double-layer system formed by two enclosure leaves with a separation between to create a cavity allowing the circulation of an air flow that eliminates any type of humidity.

Sustainable architecture, which fosters energy efficiency and the use of environmentally-friendly materials, is on the rise and ventilated facades feature a series of characteristics and basic elements offering a clear advantage as concerns insulation and energy savings. The basic characteristics and elements comprising a ventilated facade are as follows:

Substructure

Anchors: the ventilated facade fixings are the fastening elements that connect the system to the backing wall to transmit the loads. · Brackets: components with substructure that separate the cladding from backing wall. · Profiles: longitudinal elements that are attached to the brackets and hold the facade panels. Fixing system: elements that fasten and hold the exterior cladding to the profiles. Cladding panels: it constitutes the external layer of the facade.

Ventilated Cavity

With a minimum gap of 20 mm, it allows the diffusion of water that may enter due to the rain or the moisture coming from the interior of the building.

Thermal Insulation

Installed over the backing wall to improve its thermal and acoustic performance and removing the thermal bridges.

Base Material

It is the support where the ventilated facade system is fixed to (it is not part of the system itself).

The EXATECH FVH System

The exa-TECH FVH ventilated facade system is a set of elements that form a self-supporting substructure that is solidly attached to the support where it is installed. The slotted exa-TECH FVH panels are used to cover facades using this system.
