Benefits of EQUITONE ventilated façades
A ventilated façade is the concept of equalizing the air pressure in the cavity behind the rain screen with the outside air pressure.
A cavity of 70-270mm is standard for the ventilated rain screen façade
- Creates a ventilated rain screen and cavity
- Deflects rain, cold and heat – prevents condensation
- Allows air to circulate
- Panels carry A2 Euro class fire rating – fire proof
- Premium performance with min thickness – energy efficient
- Adaptable / reliable / green
- Durable / strong / healthy
- During summer the ventilation has a cooling effect on the building
- Structural movement of the building is minimised
- Acoustic performance of the wall is increased
- Thermal bridges can be reduced or even eliminated
- During winter the building is protected and the cold air is prevented from affecting the building structure.
