Ventilated Facade

A ventilated facade is a double-skin cladding that separates the aesthetic and protective role from the insulating one. An air gap runs between insulation and cladding and, through the chimney effect, expels excess moisture and heat. It is the choice of high-end contemporary architecture: large stone or metal panels, crisp joints, and easy maintenance since every element is demountable.
