In order to live in a healthy, comfortable environment, it is important to choose the right materials, by taking into consideration those solutions most focused on energy efficiency and sustainability. When we talk about living comfort, one of the most discussed topics is definitely the temperature of our homes and ventilated façade thermal insulation.
Ventilated façade insulation: comfort comes from here
Irrespective of the size of a home or the style of its furnishings, spending quality time within the four walls of your home means being able to rely on a thermal, aesthetic and acoustic well-being. In order to maintain a pleasant indoor temperature all year round, it is not enough just to rely on effective air-conditioning systems, but it is essential to have a proper insulation system of home cladding. It is important to adequately insulate the façade, that is generally the largest surface of a building, and this need is concretely met with the increasingly more performing solution of insulated ventilated façades, a dry-created innovative building system.
Ventilated façade thermal insulation is guaranteed by the gaps between the cladding and the building’s walls that is designed to allow for the air to flow upwards by chimney effect and improve the overall performance of the cladding. Ventilated façade insulation therefore allows you to correctly and effectively manage the rapport between the inside and outside of a building, reducing heat dispersion to a minimum and finally achieving the desired comfort.
Unlike the cladding system, insulation with ventilated façade panels allows you to separate the covering on the façade itself from the walls of the building, making the choice and compatibility of materials easier and allowing the flow of vapour from inside to escape. The insulated ventilated façades also protect the buildings against atmospheric agents and excellent performance levels can be achieved in terms of energy performance and acoustic insulation.
Choosing porcelain stoneware as a form of insulation with ventilated façade panels
Ventilated façade thermal insulation achieves maximum performance levels thanks to the use of porcelain stoneware The porcelain stoneware tiles guarantee an excellent thermal acoustic insulation and a longer lasting and more resistant one compared to other materials as well as being easy to clean and maintain.
The choice of porcelain stoneware for the insulated ventilated façades does not only favour thermal comfort, by optimising the overall temperature of the building, but also the aesthetic comfort: the option of personalising the architectural project thanks to a wide range of shapes, a variety of colours and numerous finishes is one of the main features that make such a versatile material stand out.
The advantages of insulation with ventilated façade panels
Of the different options available on the market of thermal insulation, the insulated ventilated façades in porcelain stoneware offer benefits that are difficult to beat. Let’s take a closer look at them.
- High energy efficiency;
- Excellent level of living comfort thanks to the very high insulation performance in terms of acoustics and temperature of the entire cladding, both in the summer and winter months;
- Preservation and protection of the supporting wall structure of the original façade;
- Overall architectural upgrading and increased value of the property;
- Buildings with limited environmental impact;
- Adjustment of the humidity levels in the environment, thanks to the gap typical of insulated ventilated façades, for a healthy environment with no condensation or mould;
- Cleaning and maintenance work reduced to a minimum;
- Long-lasting and with a high resistance to atmospheric agents;
- Wide range of textures and shapes;
- High aesthetic impact;
- Ample room for the designer to customise as they can select the most suitable features and characteristics to meet the specific demands of the work site.
