The subsystem for ventiphases: components and features

If you want to make your house unique, and its style is unique, you need to think about the design of the facade. Architects today offer hinged ventilated systems that allow you to enjoy greater opportunities for implementing creative ideas. Technical problems can be solved together with aesthetic.

For reference

Such constructions differ from the traditional cladding in that an air gap is left between the bearing walls and the decorative surface. The cladding is fixed not on the surface of the walls, but in some distance, for which special fastening systems are designed.

Components of the subsystem for ventfasada

The subsystem for ventilated facades consists of several structural elements. Design of such systems is carried out taking into account the thermal insulation of external walls by the method of fixing the insulation material under the lining. In this case, the air layer remains between the decorative protective coating and the heater.

The supporting structure consists of brackets that are fixed to the wall using dowels and anchors. To the brackets, with the help of load-bearing profiles, the cladding panels are fastened, with the use of hardware. The subsystem assumes the need for a thermal insulation layer, to which special requirements are made. The material for this must remain in shape, do not slide down under its own weight, and also exhibit resistance to mold and fungus. The primary task of this layer is the thermal insulation properties, as well as the ability to pass water vapor. The layer must be resistant to wind loads and not react with the material that underlies the subsystem.

About the insulation layer

The subsystem for ventilated facades provides the installation of insulation to the wall with the help of special dowels with large hats. An obligatory condition in this case is the necessity of laying the thermal insulation with a continuous layer. There should be no ruptures and cracks, as they can cause cold bridges.

It is also important to take care of the waterproofing layer. This will prevent the penetration of the moisture inside the interior.

Material for the ventilated facade subsystem and structural components

The subsystem for ventilated facades is a frame, which is usually made of galvanized steel. During manufacturing, these products can be powder coated, as well as standard or economical technology. The cost of the products will depend on this. Aluminum subsystems that have the same functionality are also on sale, but they do not rust and have a longer service life, which is equal to the resource of the building itself.

The subsystem for ventilated facades can also be made of stainless steel, as well as wood. The latter option is specific, and it is useless to use it in regions with a humid climate. Depending on the position of the load-bearing profiles, the subsystem can have its own design. Sometimes the components are located vertically, and in other cases - horizontally. Some experts use technology in which the elements are in two directions, forming cells.

The position of the profiles and the pitch between them will depend on the characteristics and dimensions of the decorative material. The most technological is the cross-sectional construction, since such devices allow the use of any materials for facing, which is due to the wide possibilities for fastening. To fix the consoles, anchor dowels of galvanized steel or stainless steel are used.

Features of the subsystem

The subsystem for the ventilated facade of porcelain stoneware has several main components, namely:

• Fastening;
• Insulating material ;
• Protection against wind loads.

As the last material, a membrane fabric is used on the basis of waterproofing, wind-insulating or vapor-insulating materials. Such protection is necessary in order to protect the material from external negative factors. The membrane can be used together with a heater or separately. It protects the thermal insulation from the formation of moisture and moisture accumulation. In the role of thermal insulation material, mineral wool, expanded polystyrene, and extruded polystyrene foam can be used. This layer lowers the thermal conductivity of the structure and reduces the level of heat transfer.

The ventilated facade, or rather the subsystem, allows not only to use different materials for decorative finishing, but also to use cheap and expensive versions of materials together. The subsystem turns out to be strong, durable, wear-resistant and unpretentious in maintenance. Its qualities, it does not lose, does not burn out and is not susceptible to dust and atmospheric precipitation. Aluminum subsystem for the ventilated facade is often compared with other external coatings. Only in isolated cases such systems are more expensive. For example, the plaster facade will cost a little cheaper, however, such a facade assumes the need for cosmetic work to eliminate flaws, which will have to be performed from time to time.

The main advantages of the subsystem for ventilated facades

The zinc-plated subsystem of the ventilated facade has many advantages, among them:

• Possibility to level the surface;
• Long service life;
• environmental Safety;
• Quality of soundproofing;
• High resistance to contamination.

If the walls have curvature, then under the guides you can hide any protrusions. Such a system will last for 30 years and more. One can not help but mention the ecological purity, because in the materials used there are no traditional impurities that can be present in some modern analogues.

Such systems perfectly protect the load-bearing walls from moisture, which can get outside. If you do not protect the facade, then on its surface may appear fungi, dampness, mold and microorganisms. Such systems are excellent in dealing with temperature changes, they are resistant to fire, which sometimes applies to wood, because in the manufacturing of fastening systems, fire retardants can be used.

Description of the subsystem Diat

Diat subsystem for ventilated facades is available today in a wide range. It has excellent fire-resistance characteristics, excellent corrosion resistance and guarantees a high degree of aesthetic facade, because the gap between the tile and the wall is only 5 mm.

Equally important is the fact that the Diat system provides the possibility of finishing external walls with any materials. Hinged systems are a unique product of domestic production. They are issued since 1991. Among the additional advantages can be noted the convenience of installation, the ability to compensate for the curvature of the surface in the range from 1 to 15 cm. At the same time, a standard bracket should be used.

The delivery of the ventilated facade subsystem is carried out by the Russian manufacturer, who emphasizes that the products have high strength and low thermal conductivity, which is due to the use of stainless steel in the production process.

Carrying out calculations

Calculation of the subsystem for the ventfasad involves the determination of the number of guides. To do this, calculate the perimeter of the building and the height of the surface to be trimmed. The perimeter will determine how many guides you will need. To do this, it is important to know the size of the finishing material. This parameter will determine the distance between the profiles. Once you know this figure, the perimeter of the building can be divided into it, which will allow you to get the number of guides. This is true if the elements are placed vertically.
