Discover its advantages, how to install it, and why homeowners and architects alike are choosing it more and more when seeking to improve their facade solutions.

Insulation for hinged ventilation facades

Selecting thermal insulation is the next crucial matter. The hinged cladding has a Russian State Construction technical certificate that permits it to be used in ventilated systems, but only insulation can be installed beneath it. In all cases, mineral wool is regarded as ideal. When non-core materials (like glass wools) are used, the insulation will absorb moisture, heave, and settle, which will reduce or even overlap the air gap.

The only membrane that can be used to protect thermal insulation material is a vapor barrier membrane.

In addition to failing to address the issue, trying to shield thermal insulation with foil or polyethylene—i.e., materials that trap steam—violates the ventilated facade’s operating principle, which calls for the material to "breathe." Only a unique unilateral vapor barrier membrane can be used to cover the insulation; this membrane will let moisture outside the walls pass through while preventing outside moisture from entering the building.

Apart from insulation, thermal extensions – the gaskets positioned between the brackets and the wall – are crucial for guaranteeing thermal protection. Low heat conductivity materials, such as polypropylene, polyamide, mosquito, etc., should be used to make them. Since paronite lacks the qualities of thermal insulation, its use is prohibited.

Installers occasionally employ specialized seals intended to stop vibrations and prevent side shifting of the lining. However, because the seals only have a limited working life (roughly ten years), their use causes the deadline for the system’s mainstream operation to be lowered. The fastener design should provide for reduced vibration and the exclusion of side shift in the facing panels.

Installation of a ventilated hinged facade within the framework of SNiP: wooden frame

In the first phase, a crate is fastened to the wall’s facade at a distance of 40–70 cm from wooden bars. To shield the insulation material from moisture entering from the interior, a layer of vapor barrier is placed on top of the crate. Subsequently, the insulation is applied in two layers, each having a run-in joint.

A unique dispersion film is applied to the layers and secured with the help of wooden guides that make a space between the insulation and the false wall. Following the installation of a ventilation grille for water drainage and a specific tint, siding panels are mounted on the facade following the guides, beginning at the bottom of the wall and working their way up.

General information

As already mentioned, in the ventilated facade, individual layers of the structure are located as follows (from the inner surface to the outer): the enclosing structure (wall), thermal insulation, in some cases a vapor permitting hydraulic protection film, air gap, protective screen. This scheme is optimal, t.To. layers of various materials to the air gap are located as thermal conductivity coefficients decrease and increase the steamability coefficients. The presence of a ventilated air gap can significantly improve the humid state of the thermal insulation layer, which is the advantage of the design under consideration compared to other.
The external arrangement of additional thermal insulation best protects the wall from alternating freezing and thawing. The temperature fluctuations of the wall of the wall are aligned, which prevents the occurrence of deformations. Due to the fact that in the thickness of the load-bearing wall there are practically no temperature changes, temperature and depth seams operate to a minimum degree and the entire construct functions in optimal mode. The condensation zone shifts into the external heat -insulating layer, which borders with a ventilated air gap.
Another advantage of external thermal insulation is an increase in the heat -acting ability of an array of wall. In this case, when the heat supply source is turned off, the wall will cool several times slower than with the internal location of the thermal insulation layer of the same thickness.
The joint use of a hinged ventilated facade and the heat -insulating layer significantly increases the soundproofing characteristics of the enclosing structure, since the facade panels and thermal insulation have sound -absorbing properties in a wide frequency range (for example, the soundproofing of the wall from light concrete increases by 2 times when the attachment facade is used to apply the attachment with the use facing panels).
The presence of an air gap in the ventilated facade fundamentally distinguishes it from other types of facades, t.To. Inner moisture is freely removed into the environment. The ventilated air gap also reduces heat loss in the heating period, t.To. The air temperature in it is slightly higher than outside. In turn, the outer screen of finishing materials protects the thermal insulation layer located behind it, as well as the wall itself, from atmospheric influences. In summer, it performs the function of the sunscreen, reflecting a significant part of the flood of radiant energy falling on it.
To ensure fire safety in the system of hinged facades, materials and products belonging to the category of non -combustible (NG) or difficult -smelly (G1) that prevent the spread of fire are included. In addition, in accordance with existing regulatory documents, the ventilated facades must undergo compulsory fire tests, which determine the maximum height of the system and its fire suitability. The main advantages of ventilated facades:

• the possibility of using modern facade facing materials;
• high heat and sound insulation characteristics;
• ventilation of the thermal insulation layer ensures moisture removal formed as a result of the diffusion of water vapor from the inside of the building;
• protection of the wall and thermal insulation from atmospheric influences;
• leveling of thermal deformations;
• the possibility of facade work at any time of the year – “wet” processes are excluded;
• lack of special requirements for the geometric parameters of the carrier wall (preliminary leveling is not required);
• Long period of unconscious operation (25-50 years, depending on the material used).

We can infer from the information provided that the ventilated facade is a cutting-edge, contemporary system that is suitable for both newly constructed and renovated buildings.

Durability

With years of experience in Ukraine, Europe, and the CIS, the SCANROC facade is built to last 100 years under the harshest weather conditions. Scanroc Stones have a frost resistance of more than 150 cycles.

Because of the way the Scanroc system is made, the facade will not be destroyed by seismic activity or the building’s natural shrinkage. The Scanroc system’s house decorations greatly increase the lifespan of the structure by providing excellent weather resistance for the walls.

Scanroc’s superior quality and dependability are guaranteed by the use of cutting-edge Swedish technologies, premium raw materials, and a quality control system throughout the production process.

The system can be used for construction in seismic zones because it has successfully completed a battery of laboratory and field tests for thermal insulation indicators of wall enclosing structures.

Air clearance system design

Layer by layer, a ventilated facade is conceptually made up of:

• carrier wall;
• the surplus itself;
• heat -insulating layer;
• vapor permeable film;
• air gap;
• Facing.

They all serve a specific purpose. The entire system is supported by the bearing wall. The "littered" angles and the wall’s degree of horizontal and vertical deviation must be considered when building a hinged facade. Geodetic surveys are used to determine these parameters.

The components of ventilated facade constructions include supporting profiles and brackets that are riveted to the wall and supported, as well as a potential cladding fastening element. A salael with an icli (to fix the facade cassettes), a Klyammer (for porcelain tile), a rivet (for fibrmetzent), and other fastening elements can all be used to fasten the cladding.

The structure’s constituent parts come together to create a single frame system that facing materials are installed on. In order to maintain a ventilation gap between the thermal insulation and finishing panel, the reconstruction aims to firmly consolidate the facing elements. Every connection needs to be made mechanically. Glue and other "wet" connectors are not permitted (the exception being the subtle porcelain tile fastening).

Protecting the wall from alternating freezing and thawing is the purpose of the thermal insulation layer. As a result, temperature variations are matched, excluding the emergence of deformations that are added to multi-story buildings. This feature guarantees the overall structure’s dependability and durability. High-quality thermal insulation also reduces the amount of noise from the outside environment that enters the building, improving tenant comfort.

Moisture cannot permeate the surface of thermal insulation material thanks to a vapor-permeable film. In this instance, the environment’s ability to evaporate condensate remains effective. Consumers can now purchase premium vapor permeable film that prevents combustion and does not allow flames to spread along walls.

The concept of an exhaust pipe governs how air gaps operate. As a result, moisture that enters the gap from the inside and the outside is nearly immediately dried. With the exception of this feature, air buffer lowers heat loss throughout the structure.

Facing serves both protective and aesthetic purposes. It successfully guards against various mechanical damage and the negative effects of atmospheric processes for both the house’s carrier wall and ventilated facade system. Faceting materials, refined in terms of style and technical details, define the building’s appearance and act as its signature.

The Scancrok system’s unique hinged ventilated facade design provides a flexible way to improve building exteriors. It meets the practical and aesthetic needs of modern architecture by fusing aesthetic appeal with functionality.

Scancrok’s capacity to enhance moisture management and thermal insulation is one of its main benefits. Better ventilation is made possible by the ventilated air gap between the wall and the facade panels, which lowers the possibility of moisture buildup and improves energy efficiency.

Scancrok is favored by architects and builders due to its simplicity of installation and upkeep. The system is suitable for a range of construction projects, including residential and commercial buildings, due to its modular panels and simple assembly procedure.

Scancrok also provides a variety of design choices, spanning from classic to modern, enabling customization to accommodate a wide range of architectural tastes. Because of its adaptability, designers who want to accomplish both aesthetic harmony and functional performance favor it.
