The modern ventilated façade allows creating architecturally expressive residential and commercial buildings. A memorable ventilated façade attracts attention to a building, highlighting it within the surrounding environment. Apart from that, modern façades enable to substantially increase the energy efficiency of a building.
Quality façade cladding involving energy-saving façade solutions or ventilated façades based on solar panels, allows reducing the heating and air-conditioning costs of a real estate object by -30%.
A modern building façade can be performed with sandwich panels or as ventilated façade. Ventilated curtain walling can be arranged using various cladding materials, such as rainscreen panels and lamellas, design profiles, low-profile corrugated metal, Cor-ten steel, solar and glass panels.
We will show you various options of ventilated facades based on implemented projects with Ruukki products, which will help guide you through the architectural possibilities and the range of ventilated façade materials.
Rainscreen panels
Metal rainscreen panels can be up to 3 m in size and are virtually unlimited in colour solutions, which allows creating unique façade design. Depending on dimensions and facing type, the price for rainscreen panels can vary significantly. In this case, the smaller a ventilated rainscreen panel is, the higher its price per 1 m2 appears to be.
If the client wishes to make a ventilated façade even more expressive-looking, metal rainscreen panels can be perforated and contain internal backlighting, enabling the building to play with new colours at night time. It is worth saying, that steel rainscreen panels are highly durable, which justifies their cost. Rainscreen panels can be produced out of polymer-coated steel, aluminium, copper, bronze, titanium-zinc, and stainless steel.
