TEMPIO TERRACOTTA FACADE SYSTEMS
The Tempio terracotta tile rainscreen/ventilated facade system offers a wide variety of aesthetic qualities for building facades. The numerous advantages include improved thermal and acoustic properties, 25 year warranty periods, low embodied energy ratings, ease of installation, non-combustible fire rating and sustainable production processes.
Ventilated or Rainscreen Facade systems are now the external wall construction systems of choice for architects, facade engineers, builders, facade contractors and developers alike.
This evolution in facade technologies ensures quality of outcome from not just an aesthetic point of view but in terms of non-combustibility, thermal and acoustic insulation and most importantly ongoing weather-tightness for the life of the building.
A Ventilated Facade system consists of:
- A waterproof/vapour permeable Rigid Air Barrier (RAB board) or frame wrap to the outside of the frame to form the back pan of the cavity.
- Insulation
- Installation of the façade substrate, typically manufactured in aluminium
- Installation of an open façade system that allows moisture to penetrate the façade whilst at the same time allowing fast an efficient drying of the internal cavity area.
Tempio Rainscreen FK System
This system has open vertical and overlapping horizontal joints. Composed of brackets, vertical T profile, horizontal rails and metallic springs which have an anti-rattling function.
When installing it, the facade contractor will constantly be checking levels and the plane of the facade. The contractor will install the aluminium substructure to the frame of precast concrete substrate.
Open joints improve the ventilation of the facade.The main advantages of this facade system is that it is relatively easy install at approximately 28kg/m2. This makes it a light, cost-efficient and reliable system.
