Mounting of aluminum facade ventilated

Mounting of aluminum facades of a ventilated type is very simple. Such facades have a presentable appearance, and also perfectly fit into the design of almost any buildings. Perhaps, it is for this reason that this type of cladding is increasingly used in decorating the exterior walls of public buildings .

Aluminum facades of buildings simultaneously perform both decorative and practical functions. First, these facades look extremely attractive, and secondly, they represent an excellent thermal insulation for the walls of buildings.

The cost of such a solution is very affordable for the bulk of consumers. If you want and the availability of some theoretical knowledge, installation of ventilated facades can be done independently.

Design features of ventilated facades made of aluminum

Ventilated facades quickly gained interest in the domestic consumer, mainly due to the simplicity of the design and installation. Installation of the aluminum facade takes place by fixing the facing elements on the metal frame. The skeleton itself is securely installed on the facade of the building.

Between the facing and the frame of ventilated facades, heat-insulating slabs are laid. At the same time, an obligatory condition for maintaining the longevity of such structures is the creation of an air gap between the external and internal elements of the structure.

Mounting of aluminum facades of a ventilated nature is carried out with the use of facing and facing systems. The sub-facing, inside part, is a whole set of brackets, clamps and guide profiles. As external cladding, porcelain stoneware, siding, corrugated board, facade cassettes, and other materials can be used.

Advantages and disadvantages

Usually the installation of aluminum ventilated facades is made if necessary to cladding the outer walls of the capital structures. These facade systems are widely used for decorating the walls of multi-storey buildings, because in private single-story houses such a solution looks quite ridiculous. However, a good solution can be aluminum facades for the kitchen, which looks very impressive.

The creation of the facing of buildings in the form of ventilated aluminum facades has a number of advantages. The main advantage here is the stability of such systems to frequent temperature changes, as well as the effects of various atmospheric influences.

One facade aluminum frame allows you to create spectacular combinations with the use of several different in nature materials. In general, protection against mechanical damage, a variety of color and textural solutions, speed and special simplicity of installation are precisely those qualities that best characterize ventilated facades.

Among the obvious drawbacks of aluminum facades can be noted quite high cost of facing materials. In addition, careless contact with such structures due to the presence of an abundance of sharp elements can lead to injury.

Frame installation

First of all, the installation of the aluminum facade involves the secure attachment of metal brackets to the surface of the bearing walls, which are subsequently installed with decorative elements. To ensure effective air circulation in the interlayer between the heater and the lining, leave a gap. This solution eliminates the possibility of accumulating moisture in the cavity of the structure, which, in turn, contributes to an increase in the life of the facade.

Heater

The thermal insulation layer is mounted directly on the facade of the building using plastic anchors with a strong steel rod. For this, holes of the appropriate diameter are preliminarily prepared in the walls. The tight fit of the insulation plates to the walls of the facades is provided by the availability of reliable anchor hats.

Metal cassettes

The installation of the aluminum facade includes the installation of guide profiles on special brackets with rivets. The control screws are attached to the upper guides. At the same time, the lower guides are placed slightly higher than the design level, which facilitates convenient mounting of the front cassettes.

Subsequently, the ends of the lower guides are pushed to the special holes that are contained in the cassette holders. Finally, the metal cassette holders are fixed with screws.

Facing

At the final stage of the cladding, a wide range of materials can be used. At present, the installation of a ventilated facade made of aluminum composite panels allows the use of natural wood, lining, siding and the like as the outer lining.

As an example, I would like to consider the use of finishing slabs of ceramic granite, as this material continues to rapidly gain popularity in the domestic market.

Before assembling the outer plates, it is necessary to assemble the end clamps. Using paronit or rubber seals, it is necessary to fix them securely on the profile. As soon as the outer finishing plate is installed on the end clamps, its fixation with rotary clamps is required. Distance elements are as tightly as possible bent to the swivel, and then strengthened. This sequence of actions must be repeated, right up to the end of the series.

The mounting of the face elements of the next horizontal row should take place starting with the installation of rotary clamps throughout the entire plane. Further, the installation of facing plates continues in the above manner.

Important recommendations

It is necessary to remember the following:

• When installing a ventilated system, it is necessary to follow the requirements of the accompanying instruction in clearness;
• Reduce the cost, deadlines for the execution of facade works and plan all the stages allows the development of individual projects for each individual building;
• To get the most durable and durable construction, it is not recommended to save on the formation of the material and technical base necessary to start work;
• Selecting suitable fasteners, it is worth checking them once again for strength, and relying on the results, choose the appropriate cassettes, lining, insulation;
• When planning the installation of an aluminum facade, make sure that the installation instructions are available before purchasing the insulation boards.
