Facades covered
with ceramic tiles using the FV system offer superb
performance against atmospheric agents.
The inclusion
of insulating systems in
ventilated facades helps to considerably raise the level of comfort inside the bu
ilding, enabling
a
savings in heating/air
- conditioning costs of between 20 and 30% as oppo
sed
to other conventional sidin
g materials.
Performance of facades against atmospheric agents.
In
summer
, sunlight beats do
wn d
irectly on the tiled surface and not on
the fro
nt of the building itself; this heats up the air
in the ch
amber
, lessening its density and causing it to rise via convection, with cool air taking its place.
T
his “chimn
ey effect”
avo
ids the accumulation of heat on the facade.
Moreover
, the thermal insulation protects th
e bu
ildin
g from ou
tside heat.
In
winter
, other factors come into
play, since the sun’s rays are no lon
ger able to produce movemen
ts of air
.
In this case, the
system acts as an accumulator of heat, with the thermal insulation hindering heat loss from the building.
