Ventilated walls: a new architectural image

Thermal equilibrium, energy conservation, efficiency and stability over time: these are only a few of the acknowledged qualities of the performance of Granitech ventilated walls.
In addition to these characteristic properties, ventilated wall systems with porcelain tiles can renew a building?s outer image, effectively creating a new architectural skin.
Over its lifetime every built structure is subject to atmospheric agents and wear on materials and must be renewed, employing new technological solutions and adapting it to the new functional requirements of living today.


Multi-layered solutions such as ventilated façades offer one way of giving a building a new look without requiring any particularly invasive work.
Using porcelain as outer cladding is above all a form of protection, but it is also a way of improving the appearance of a home: a solution which optimises living comfort while safeguarding the domestic economy.
Three aspects of particular importance today are combined in one. In the choice of materials, we constantly seek advanced technical capacity with an ability to combine aesthetic value and economic savings.


Aesthetic renewal is therefore combined with significant benefits for performance, with a positive effect on the household?s health and finances, while lengthening the building?s lifespan.
This solution is particularly recommended for tall buildings, which are more exposed to atmospheric agents and heat dispersion because of their many windows (Granitech ventilated walls are also strongly recommended for non-residential buildings such as shopping centres, salons and multipurpose buildings).
Thanks to the ease of installation and multi-functionality of porcelain, Granitech ventilated walls can guarantee all these qualities.
The building?s heat load is reduced in summer thanks to the qualities of the cladding (which reflects the sun?s rays) and the gap (which ensures ventilation).  
Ventilated façades retain heat in winter, ensuring thermal balance year round and saving energy.
