Ventilated walls: solutions for efficiency and savings

Granitech ventilated walls guarantee long-term efficiency and non-stop energy savings for buildings of all kinds.
Ventilated façade systems covered with porcelain tiles offer performance benefits at all times of year, associated with easy installation and non-invasive intervention, for it is even possible to work at the level of individual tiles.


In summer ventilated walls limit the heat load on wall structures, partially reflecting the sun’s rays. In addition to this important benefit for performance, Granitech walls offer ventilation through the gap which, with proper application of insulation, also contributes to cutting air conditioning costs. In the winter, on the other hand, ventilated façades can retain heat to save on heating costs. 
These are projects in which the thermal insulation provided by porcelain tiles combines living comfort with energy conservation.

Granitech’s planning phase (http://www.granitech.it/pareti-ventilate.php?sez=progettazione) includes careful study of the best construction solution: following analysis of the building’s cladding and assessment of feasibility, the materials making up the wall to be covered are studied, along with the structural system to be adopted and the preliminary calculations. 
It is then possible to choose a visible or invisible anchorage system. 
These are particularly important technical steps which nonetheless leave the architect considerable freedom. High-tech porcelain tiles are in fact the best material for ventilated walls, as they combine the chromatic harmony and unique veins of quarried stone with durability, technical qualities and advanced performance, doing away with the need for frequent maintenance.
