Exterior finishing buildings is an important part of construction and installation work and architectural design, the purpose of which is to create a presentable appearance of structures and solve practical problems.
The latter includes strengthening the structure and protecting it from aggressive influences. environment, extension of service life.
IN modern conditions optimal technology is considered a curtain façade. Its features and functionality worth considering in more detail.
A suspended ventilated façade is innovation system finishing external walls buildings, consisting of finishing materials mounted on the frame.
The peculiarity of the technology is that the method of installing the structure provides for the presence of a layer between the finishing elements and the wall of the structure, thanks to which air circulates freely, reliably protecting the building from excess moisture and reducing the heat transfer of the house.
Hinged ventilated facades are sometimes called " ventilation facades" This phrase is not correct, since it does not accurately reflect the meaning and scope of the technology.
Modern ventilated facades are a rather complex and universal system. It is the latter factor and the presence of several types of fastening that allow the technology to be used everywhere in both public and private construction.
The ventilated façade, as it is sometimes called, becomes not only a functional element, but also a part decorative finishing Houses. Today, the ventilated facade of a monolithic house is becoming increasingly popular.
This is explained by the fact that the monolith as a base provides high strength and reliability of the structure, which does not require additional strengthening measures. Here you can use the most, increase the profile step. This reduces the cost of materials and speeds up the installation process, which becomes in a good way savings.
In addition, hanging ventilated systems will help solve aesthetic problems, which will especially please those who do not like appearance monolithic buildings.
To understand how a ventilated façade is installed and what it is in principle, we advise you to carefully read the explanations below.
Main functions
By installing ventilated facades, you can solve several problems at once: to provide reliable protection buildings from the destructive effects of moisture, wind and temperature changes, reduce energy costs due to thermal interlayers, improve sound insulation internal space, extend the service life of the structure, create interesting decor with a wide range of colors and designer finishes.
In terms of their functionality, ventilation facades are universal systems that provide great opportunities for standard and unusual solutions.
Device
The elements of which are:
- A frame subsystem that is attached to the wall of a building and serves as support for the entire structure. Most often it is made of galvanized or of stainless steel or aluminum.
- Insulating layer. It is a multifunctional component that provides protection from moisture, steam, wind, cold, and also reduces the heat transfer of the building.
- Gap for air circulation. It is this that promotes constant ventilation in the system.
- External decorative shell. Protects the lower layers of the ventilation façade and gives the building a presentable appearance.
Nodes
In order to obtain units of ventilated facades, it is necessary to obtain an Album of Technical Solutions from the manufacturer.
In this article we will present some nodes from different albums of our choice. But you should understand that the node published here is not necessarily suitable for the system you choose. Standard nodes, common to almost all systems, look like this:
Application area
Hinged ventilated systems are used for exterior finishing buildings and structures using a wide range of finishing materials.
Due to its versatility and variety of installation options, the technology is in demand both in the construction of new facilities and in repair work and reconstruction of old buildings.
Ventilated facades are suitable for private and multi-apartment buildings residential buildings, are actively used in industrial and public facilities, commercial buildings, technical rooms of bus stations, gas stations, etc.
The functionality of materials can be adapted to any needs, which determines the relevance of ventilation facades.
Application in seismic areas
The requirements for finishing materials and installation methods used at sites in areas of high seismic activity are always increased, so the selection of technologies is carried out with special care.
Experts note that modern ventilated facades optimally meet all standards, which is largely due to the strength of metal frames.
Many systems have been tested for seismic resistance up to 9 points. But still, before using the system, it is necessary to calculate static loads.
Methodology for calculating static loads of NVF
Today, load calculations are carried out in accordance with SNiP II-7-81 “Construction in seismic areas,” which provides for two approaches.
In the first case, which is typical for all objects, a linear spectral technique (LST) is used, based on the decomposition of the building’s motion into its own modes of vibration.
The second technique is designed for increased importance. It involves dynamic analysis of synthesized accelerograms and compilation of instrumental records of the most dangerous acceleration of the base.
In calculations, the relation also plays an important role different types loads A feature of the analysis is the introduction of significant safety factors, the purpose of which is to protect against unforeseen risks of facade collapse.
Weight loads are classified as basic and vary significantly depending on the finishing materials used. Their weight can range from 7-8 kg/m2 to 100 kg/m2 in the case of stone cladding.
It is also worth considering the increase in weight caused by the height of the building and the characteristics of the terrain on which the object is located. All these factors are included in the calculations when choosing options for ventilated facades.
Wind loads
Wind loads strongly depend on the height of the structure, the characteristics of the surrounding space and the wind region. In particularly active zones they can even exceed weight factors.
Wind pressure is calculated in accordance with SNiP “Loads and Impacts” standards, choosing height coefficients and one of three types of terrain.
This parameter belongs to the short-term category, but it should not be neglected. The load from icing can exceed the weight of the finish itself. It can be calculated either from the data obtained in a practical way, or using the above regulatory documents.
Types of ventilated facades
One of the criteria on the basis of which types of ventilated facades are distinguished is the type of frame used for installation.
The facade subsystem is a set of frame parts, profiles and fasteners by means of which the cladding panels are attached to the wall of the building.
The most relevant are metal constructions, characterized by strength, durability and operational reliability.
Galvanized facade systems (manufacturers)
Ventilated facades made of galvanized steel are often used in modern construction in view of optimal combination functionality and affordable price.
Popular manufacturers of these products are the Russian companies “OLMA”, “OST”, “Alternativa”, “Kamenny Belt”, “Kraspan”.
Aluminum facade systems (manufacturers)
An aluminum frame has a higher price than a steel frame, but it also offers additional benefits during installation due to the lighter weight of the structure and anti-corrosion properties.
Products from Russian brands “NordFox”, “U-con”, “Sial” are presented on the domestic market. Close cooperation between companies and foreign developers of innovative equipment guarantees high product quality standards and excellent performance properties.
The European brand Hilti, which specializes in power tools, is also popular.
Stainless steel facade systems (manufacturers)
Characterized by good strength and corrosion resistance. It is cheaper than its aluminum counterparts and is quite easy to install, which is what makes it popular.
In great demand Russian buyers uses the domestic brand “Diat”, which combines optimal parameters and favorable price.
Wooden systems for private houses
Wood as a frame for a ventilation facade is a fairly durable, environmentally friendly and easy-to-install material with low thermal conductivity.
Another important factor is its aesthetic appeal. But due to exposure to moisture and the need for additional protection from fire, this material is used only in ventilated facades of private houses.
What is a proper ventilated façade?
The ease of installation and wide functionality of ventilation facades do not exclude the need for a careful and responsible approach to its installation.
The structure, installed in accordance with all rules and regulations, will ensure optimal properties and a long period of trouble-free operation.
When working with mounted systems, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the technical manual, which is supplied by experienced manufacturers.
Particular attention should be paid to the correct fastening and strength of fasteners, and the step width of the system. What matters here are precisely selected materials, coordination of the main design parameters, and correspondence of real data to the album. technical solutions. Not only will this depend on specifications structures, and the safety of others.
Service life of a ventilated façade
The service life of ventilation facades largely depends on the correct installation, environmental conditions, and the scope of its application. But the main criteria are the materials used. Thus, the average service life of an unpainted galvanized system is about 7 years. The same coated material will last from 14 to 30 years, depending on the properties of the protective components.
Aluminum facades and stainless steel analogues will last up to 50 years, providing excellent functionality.
Vent gap 
The ventilation gap is the element of the façade system that provides ventilation and reduces heat transfer. The quality of hydro- and thermal insulation of the ventilation façade depends on the correctly selected size of the air gap.
There are special formulas that allow you to calculate this parameter based on temperature, speed air flow and heat transfer coefficients of the structure.
On average, the thickness of the gap will fluctuate in the range of 20-50 mm. It is this layer that guarantees optimal air circulation and effective moisture removal.
Pros and Features
The main advantages of ventilated facades include:
- High rates of thermal, hydro and sound insulation.
- Resistance to negative impact external environment.
- Fast and convenient installation in any weather conditions.
- Excellent repairability in case of unexpected damage.
- Reducing heating costs.
- Wide range of facing materials, color solutions and design techniques.
- Durability of use.
Among the possible disadvantages of hinged ventilated facades, there is a significant reduction in the level fire safety if the installation technology is not followed.
Such consequences can be caused, for example, by imperfect walls, due to which it is necessary to resort to non-standard installation solutions. Improper installation of structures can affect the anti-corrosion protection and environmental friendliness of materials, reducing their service life.
But with a competent approach from qualified specialists, most of these risks can be successfully eliminated.

Cladding options in the system
The undoubted advantage of ventilated curtain facades is the huge range of finishing materials, among which we can note: it is worth using only mineral wool, since neither penoplex nor roll materials are able to provide the necessary technical specifications for ventilation façade.
Standard thickness mineral wool used for insulation is about 100 mm, although you can choose thicker types with additional insulation.
Often the installation of wool is carried out in two layers, general principle Such a solution provides for density indicators of at least 50 kg/m3 and 80 kg/m3 for the bottom and top layers, respectively. More detailed advice will be provided by specific manufacturers of facade structures.
Is film needed in ventilated facades?
This issue causes a lot of controversy, in which film and insulation manufacturers are parties.
Most controversies are caused solely by commercial reasons.
Experts agree that the film is necessary to protect the insulation from the wind inside the gap when using standard 80 kg/m3 insulation. For denser layers there is no need for it.
Design of a ventilated facade
It is a responsible process, the quality of which will determine the reliability of the entire structure. This task should only be entrusted to trusted contractors, which can be installation companies or manufacturers of curtain walled façade products.
The curtain-mounted ventilated façade (NVF) combines the qualities of several materials at once. He is effective system interconnected cladding, insulation, waterproofing of the house.
Curtain ventilated facades are a technology for cladding the external walls of both industrial buildings and private homes. In this case, several layers of materials are used, fixed to the frame, which is attached to the load-bearing layer of the wall or monolithic ceiling. Between the wall is created ventilation gap— it protects against condensation and moisture.
Peculiarities
A ventilated façade has the following advantages:
- versatility. They perform several tasks at once: hydro-, sound-, and thermal insulation of the house. The gap provides ventilation;
- ease of replacement of elements of the façade ventilation system;
- lightness of the frame;
- fireproof ventilated facades ( except for composite materials of flammability group G4);
- Possibility of installation in any weather. Rough surface does not require additional processing, it is enough that it is clean;
- the gap takes the “dew point (condensation)” outside the wall;
- systems of ventilated building facades are resistant to any weather conditions. All aggressive influences are taken on by the cladding elements;
- a ventilated façade will hide any imperfections in the wall;
- wide choice of design and cladding materials for illegal armed groups;
- durability. On average, the service life of a galvanized system is 35 years, aluminum facades will last 50 years. The duration also depends on the climate. In coastal areas, in aggressive conditions, it is slightly reduced, but when applying an anodic coating, the ventilated facade will last for the stated time.
Subsystem elements
The ventilated facade of the house consists of the following elements:
- thermal breaks - thermal regulating gaskets made of paronite or PVC between the wall and the bracket. Prevents the transfer of a cold bridge from the bracket to the anchor;
- brackets (L-, U-shaped, non-standard shape) – elements of the subsystem that provide clearance. IN aluminum systems are divided into load-bearing and supporting. When attaching the profile to the bracket, you should take into account the compensation for the thermal expansion of the metal and attach the profile accordingly. It should be noted that aluminum and galvanized brackets differ in thickness and size;
- Special extensions to increase the reach from the wall;
- main horizontal or vertical profiles of the façade ventilation subsystem. They, like all frame elements, are connected to each other with rivets. Screw fastenings are prohibited - the bolts may become loose, which in turn may lead to the cladding falling out;
- fastening elements for ventilated façade cladding. Standard and starting clamps (clamp holders), self-tapping screws (only for galvanized metal cassettes), fastening in the form of a slide for aluminum composite panels, horizontal profiles for granite.
- hydro-, windproof, vapor-permeable membrane;
- thermal insulation, which is attached to disc-shaped dowels;
- cladding layer
- fastening elements (anchors for fastening the bracket to the wall and rivets for connecting the system elements to each other)
Ventilation gap
Hinged ventilated facades have a special feature - an air gap. It creates an upward air flow that provides ventilation, removes moisture and condensation from the insulation .
The gap must be at least 40 mm.
It is important to know
The ventilation gap, the length of the bracket and the thickness of the insulation are interrelated. For example, if the insulation has a thickness of 150 mm, the bracket will have an overhang of 190 mm: 150 (insulation) + 40 (gap).
Materials and types of cladding
Curtain facades have various options facing material. Here are its main types:
- Ventilated façade cladding made of composite panels (ACP). Such panels or cassettes have an aluminum body with a special filler inside, thanks to which the cassettes, unlike steel ones, do not deform. Also, the advantages of aluminum cassettes include resistance to corrosion;
- ventilated facade using metal cassettes made of galvanized steel, brass, copper. Copper and brass cassettes are less common than aluminum or galvanized ones;
- plastic, vinyl, HPL panels ( special kind laminate), siding. This design of buildings is relatively cheap and easy to install. Often used for a private home, as it is affordable;
Types of subsystem materials
For the right choice design, you need to know what materials are used for the fastening subsystem.
- Stainless steel- the most expensive, heaviest type of materials for the facade ventilation subsystem. It is not susceptible to corrosion at all. No need to paint, anodize or apply other protective layers. Even in coastal regions, such a ventilated façade has a service life of up to 60 years.
- Cink Steel - cheap, convenient for installing porcelain tiles. Requires painting. In places where the façade ventilation subsystem profiles are fastened to each other, the zinc coating is missing and corrosion begins. Standard service life is 35 years.
- Aluminum facades - have the advantage of being light weight. There are aluminum facades that are used at heights of 200 m and above. These types of systems are no less durable than steel ones. Pros: average cost, fewer elements fastenings in comparison with galvanized subsystems, their installation is simpler, service life is 50 years. Aluminum facades use composite material. Metal cassettes are used with the galvanized subsystem. Granite, porcelain tile, terracotta can be used on any system. Aluminum facades – a good choice for an average price.
Types of fastening the cladding to the subsystem
Depending on the type of fixation of the ventilated facade cladding to the frame, there are types of fastening: open (visible) and hidden.
Porcelain tiles can be hung on hidden and visible fasteners of the wall hanging system
ventilated facade. Visible - with the help of clamps. They are different, sometimes they are used for hidden fastening when attached to special cuts in the slab. Fastening to clamps that grip porcelain tiles is more reliable.
natural stone (granite, limestone) - most often attached to horizontal profiles; for this, a cut is created at the top and bottom of the slab. The profile goes into the slab itself. It can also be mounted on spacer screw fastenings or calipers. If the size of the stone slab is small, the option of mounting it on a cale will cost you a decent amount. Terracotta is attached to special clamps in the slab itself, just as in the case of porcelain stoneware and natural stone special cuts are made.
Fiber cement is attached as follows: holes are made in the corners of the panel, a sleeve is installed in them, and through it the tile is connected with a rivet to the profile.
Composite panels are fastened with rivets: the panels are not assembled into cassettes, but are simply attached to the supporting profile- This open method fastenings Or they make cassettes from a composite sheet with flanging, cutting (agraph) and hang them on a sled - this is hidden way fastenings 
Strengthened system
A reinforced façade fastening system is required for heavy materials on high altitude. It all depends on the calculation of the weight of the frame, cladding material and wall. Aluminum facades of buildings up to 15 m with cladding made of composite slabs are mounted on a conventional frame. If the wall material is foam blocks, a fragile type of material, then the system is fastened into the floor slabs and it is recommended to use reinforced fastening elements.
Curtain facade systems or ventilated facade systems– a design that provides thermal protection, protection from climatic and man-made influences. Facade systems consist of:
- Supporting structure made of stainless and galvanized steel, coated with polymers;
- Insulation, which increases the thermal protection and sound insulation of the room, giving additional strength to the walls;
- Cladding made from various modern finishing materials.
Scope of application of ventilated facades
- SVF are often used in the reconstruction and construction of buildings
- Facade works;
- Cladding of various buildings, business centers, sports and entertainment facilities, as well as commercial buildings.
- The high characteristics of ventilated facades have secured them a leading position in the market for energy-efficient types of home finishing.
Positive qualities of ventilated facades.
Ventilated facades have whole line significant positive qualities, which include:
- Increasing the soundproofing, thermal insulation, and strength properties of the structure;
- Long-term operation (at least 50 years) without the need for restoration and repair;
- Compliance with fire safety requirements;
- Installation at any time of the year.
External influences, such as temperature changes and precipitation, over time cause dilapidation and destruction of any buildings. The point is microcracks that exist in the external walls of all buildings. To prevent destruction processes, various protective measures are used that can reduce the impact of the external environment on the walls of the structure.
One of the most effective measures are curtain facades.
They perform main task- create a coating, another layer that protects the walls from destruction, absorbing external influences.
Traditional coatings such as lining, plaster and ceramic panels have a very limited service life and require repairs after some time. The use of façade systems as protection is free from such disadvantages.
What are ventilated facades?
The curtained façade was invented 50-60 years ago, although they appeared in our country relatively recently. These are practical, reliable and aesthetically attractive facade systems that protect the walls of the building from aggressive external influences and allow you to save on repairs to the external walls of the building.
Regardless of the facing material used (porcelain stoneware, glass or fiber cement boards), the NF structure is approximately the same: fastening system, insulation and cladding.
Facade systems built on the “pie” principle create additional wall, which is attached using special profiles. As a result, the slabs curtain façade protect the external walls of the house from moisture, precipitation, and direct exposure to sunlight. Installation of facing slabs is carried out at a certain distance from the internal layers of the facade system, so that an air layer is formed. It allows you to avoid the accumulation of dampness, and therefore the processes of rotting.
Types of facade systems
Depending on the cladding slabs and panels used, ventilated facades can be divided into:
| Advantages | |
| Facades made of porcelain stoneware | Low cost, ease of processing, resistance to atmospheric influences, impact resistance, excellent sound insulation. |
| Aluminum Composite Panels | Thanks to the flexibility and low weight of the panels, you can easily create various complex architectural forms. Plasticity, excellent sound insulation, self-cleaning during precipitation. |
| Fiber cement panels | Reliability, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, non-flammability, the material is simply painted and processed. Due to its low cost, it is suitable for cladding cottages and private houses. |
| High pressure laminate panels | Light weight and big size, resistance to external influences and aggressive environments, zero absorption, excellent thermal insulation. |
| Linear slabs | Protection from environmental influences, ease of installation, self-cleaning during rain. |
| Glass panels | Aesthetic appearance, protection from UV radiation, precipitation, high temperatures, self-cleaning. |
| Agglomerate granite slabs | Strength, wear resistance, fire resistance, inertness to chemicals, long service life. |
Due to its different qualities and advantages, each type of curtain wall is used for cladding various structures.
Thus, installing a glass facade gives the building modern look and is usually used to decorate airports and business centers.
Fiber cement boards, due to their efficiency and ease of installation, are used for cladding cottages and private houses.
Porcelain stoneware facades are used to decorate the lower floors of high-rise buildings.
Advantages of hanging systems
- Protection from environmental influences. The installation of the facade system is carried out in such a way as not only to decorate the house, but also to protect it from adverse environmental influences, such as rain, sun and winds, as well as from mechanical influences.
- Insulation. Hanging systems are designed according to the “pie” principle: insulation is installed in one or two layers between the building wall and the external cladding of the NF, retaining heat inside the building and preventing the penetration of cold. In summer, such buildings retain coolness better. Thanks to this, it is possible to significantly reduce heating and air conditioning costs.
- Soundproofing. Due to the same design, excellent noise and sound insulation is ensured. Extraneous noise is absorbed by the thermal insulation layer, and additional protection creates a layer of air and the facing slabs themselves.
- Moisture protection. Thanks to air gap, air circulates freely inside the curtain system, and the outer walls of the building remain dry.
- Easy to install. A curtain wall can be installed at any time of the year. During installation and further operation, no humidity, gusts of wind or even precipitation can damage the facade.
- Correction of external defects. The design of the facade system can hide minor defects and unevenness of the external walls of the building. At the same time, the installation cost will be much lower than redecorating. And the service life of such cladding cannot even be compared with conventional repair procedures.
- Easy to repair. The construction of a ventilated facade is different high accuracy, excluding inaccuracies and discrepancies. Therefore, there is no need to overpay for expensive repairs or dismantling of the entire system.
The use of ventilated facades outside the city
IN Lately In Russia, the scale of suburban construction has increased significantly. Curtain facades, having firmly conquered the space of urban construction, are now spreading into the field of individual development. It must be said that facade cladding has many advantages that may appeal to owners of private houses.
The main thing is to choose the right set of materials.
When arranging a ventilated cladding system for a private house, first of all you should pay attention to the frame, which is attached to load-bearing wall and serves as a base for facing panels.
Lightweight, durable and economical is perfect for a private home aluminum profile. Unlike aluminum construction, galvanized steel profiles are subject to corrosion and require replacement after 5 years.
The cladding of the house is also of considerable importance. When constructing a curtain façade in suburban construction Porcelain stoneware and fiber cement slabs are most often used.
Porcelain tiles are made from natural elements such as quartz, white clay and mineral pigments. This is a durable material, very similar to natural. It provides excellent protection of the facade from mechanical damage, as well as aggressive natural influences. Its only drawback is its heaviness. When facing external walls with porcelain stoneware panels, a powerful steel profile should be used.
Fiber cement boards do not have these disadvantages. Made from synthetic fiber and lightweight concrete, they are lightweight, reliable, low price, easy to install and non-flammable. This material qualitatively imitates stone, rock, tile, brick and other textures, and is easy to paint and process. The highest quality fiber cement panels from Japanese companies: “Asahitostem” and “Nichiha”. More economical slabs Russian manufacturers: “Latonit” and “Kraspan”, as well as Chinese “SunStone”.
