It is understandable that any person wants to keep their home. Such care needs not only the interior, but also the facade of the building. It is he who takes on all external influences, and there is nothing surprising in the fact that over time the house begins to deteriorate. One way to avoid destruction is to create additional protection. To understand how this can be done, it is enough to consider the design of ventilated facades.
There is nothing prohibitively difficult in avoiding unnecessary destructive impacts on a building. In fact, another wall is created in front of the facade of the house, which takes on all the attacks of the external environment. Such a device of ventilated facades additionally provides several degrees of protection. Among them are:
- use outdoor materials that are particularly resistant to natural influences, such as porcelain stoneware;
- channel creation(ventilation) between the facade and the outer wall, which removes moisture from the interior and improves the microclimate inside the building, the house "breathes";
- providing additional thermal protection for the building;
- the ability to change the appearance of the building without its reconstruction.
After we have described the principle according to which the ventilated facades are installed, the technology of its creation becomes clear without complicated explanations. Initially, a vertical crate is installed on the wall, its step is equal to the width of the heat-insulating material used (it is located between the rows of the crate). A vapor barrier film is attached over the thermal insulation, which protects the structure from moisture from the outside.
Then, a counter-batten is made, on which the facing material will be fixed in the future. The device of a hinged ventilated facade may differ from that described - many companies offer services for the creation of such structures, and each has its own technology for performing work. But in any implementation of such a structure, the use of an external protective wall and the provision of an air channel between the external protection and the facade wall (or insulation, if applicable) are unchanged.
When considering the device of ventilated facades, you should pay attention to the ventilation duct itself, thanks to whichan air flow that protects the outer walls from the accumulation of excessive moisture, it also provides additional thermal insulation due to the air gap. It is the presence of such a channel that makes the protection of the facade quite effective.
However, do not forget about the finishing material, which, due to its unique capabilities, is most often used, as already mentioned, porcelain stoneware. Taking on the first blow of the elements, it protects the facade of the building from destruction, as a result of which the service life of the building can be up to fifty years. An important advantage of the exterior finish is that it allows you to change the appearance of the building. Given the rather significant cost of facing, it will serve as a demonstration of the status of the owner.
So, the installation of ventilation facades as mandatory components of the structure includes external protection and a ventilation duct. Other elements may differ depending on the supplier, but it is the mentioned details of curtain walls that protect the building from destructive external influences and provide the necessary microclimate in the interior.
