TYPE 2VENTILATED CLADDINGThis system involves the installation of a secondary facade with an air gap between the tile layer and the building’s structural wall. It creates a continuous flow of air through the gap, which can improve the building’s overall performance with regards to thermal insulation, moisture control, improved indoor climate, enhanced durability and aesthetic flexibility.
The air gap acts as an insulator, which is reducing heat transfer between the building and the external environment, improving energy efficiency. By regulating the temperature and humidity levels, ventilated cladding contributes to a more comfortable indoor environment. It also allows moisture to escape, preventing condensation and potential water damage to the building’s structure. The external tile layer protects the building from weather elements, reducing the wear and tear on the primary structural wall, whilst enhancing the building’s aesthetic appeal.
