Insulating coating for microventilated facade

Micro-ventilated facades, represent an advanced technological solution in the field of architecture and building engineering, designed to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and living comfort. This type of façade consists of a multilayer system, in which an air chamber is created between the building's exterior cladding and the load-bearing wall.

In the context of the growing demand for innovative solutions for energy upgrading of buildings, both new and to be restored, the insulating micro-ventilated cladding emerges strongly Thermikstone .

Thermikstone, a cladding that combines the timeless elegance of natural stone with modern requirements for low-thickness thermal insulation. The use of Nobilium Thermalpanel thermal insulation within this system ensures superior thermal performance while maintaining a refined aesthetic profile compatible with the latest architectural trends.

Despite its low thickness, the cladding offers excellent insulating capacity, allowing buildings to improve energy efficiency without compromising usable space or aesthetics. This is particularly advantageous in urban settings where space is limited.

This advanced technology is an effective and sustainable response to contemporary challenges, offering a range of technical advantages that make it an outstanding choice for architects, designers and construction companies.

The maximum overall thickness is only 3 cm and can counteract the action of wind and allows thermal expansion of various components.

Compared with traditional facade cladding, Thermikstone cladding is among the most economical and the most versatile, adapting in shape and color to any architectural requirement.

Microventilated facade cladding is based on three main components:

1. Exterior cladding: The exterior cladding is the visible part of the facade, made of weather-resistant materials, such as stone. This layer protects the building from external agents, such as rain, snow and wind.

2. Ventilated air chamber: Between the outer cladding and the load-bearing wall is an air chamber, a space that allows micro circulation of air. This natural circulation occurs through ventilation slots located at the bottom and top of the facade. Air enters from the lower openings and, as it heats up, rises by chimney effect, escaping from the upper openings.

3. Load-bearing wall and insulation layer: Behind the ventilated air chamber is the load-bearing wall of the building, which can be made of concrete, brick or other building materials. A 9 mm basalt thermal insulation layer is applied to the outer surface of the load-bearing wall, which reduces heat loss, thus contributing to the building's energy efficiency.
