Building physics

The rainscreen cladding system combines functional, economical and aesthetic properties. It provides protection against noise, cold and heat, and prevents
weather impacts away from the primary structure. The construction of the rainscreen is characterised by a clear, functional separation of the individual component layers. Ventilated rainscreen cladding is primarily made up of multiple components that have been structurally coordinated. Moisture is diverted via the ventilation gap, which keeps the insulation and brickwork dry.

Depending on the structural-physical requirements, rainscreens can be installed on insulated or non-insulated walls.

The supporting sstem should be planned in such a way that takes into account the load-bearing base, the static requirements, the building physics and the cladding, as determined by the structural stability requirements.

Variable insulation thickness
Adapt building materials easily (ideal for renovations and older buildings)
Can be installed on any sub-structures thanks to a variety of anchoring elements
Long-lasting and durable
