APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Ventilated façade systems are lightweight when compared to brick and masonry solutions and can provide the designer with a wide range of aesthetic options.
In addition to thermal performance, fire performance of insulation materials is a crucial consideration, particularly when designing high-rise buildings or when the buildings will have high occupancy levels or vulnerable occupants.
Rainscreen ventilated facade systems are suitable for a range of backgrounds and substrates including concrete and masonry walls in addition to steel frame constructions.

Why Mineral Wool?
-
Being non-combustible, mineral wool is suitable for use on all buildings including high-rise, providing compliance with fire related building regulations seen in all parts of the world.
-
Using mineral wool in ventilated façades improves thermal efficiency to reduce energy costs and is most suited to a range of commercial buildings. This is important when considering the future impact of EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates).
