Outdoor Specifications for Terrazzo

Ventilated façades are a vertical siding system for buildings that uses an outer siding material enclosing a ventilated air chamber and a layer of continuous thermal insulation against the inner building wall.

For over 20 years COMPAC Terrazzo has been used as a siding material for ventilated façades in many countries. We now have over 1.5 million m2 of this material installed on building façades.

Some international companies specializing in ventilated façade systems, like the French company Vetisol, have even developed systems especially designed for use with COMPAC Terrazzo.

	ENERGY EFFICIENCY: Ventilated façades contribute to reducing energy expenses in modern buildings. The thermal insulation is a continuous layer that prevents heat transfer from the metal framework edges and the vertical supports
	PROTECTION AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS: The outer leaf receives the direct impact of rain and sun, but since it is separated from the inner leaf, it minimizes these effects
	ELIMINATION OF CONDENSATION AND HUMIDITY FROM THE “CHIMNEY EFFECT”. The air behind the outer leaf is heated and therefore rises, taking with it the humidity deposited on the thermal insulation

	CHOICE OF AESTHETIC COMPOSITION: In view of the great flexibility in choosing siding modules, building façade design is made easy
	IDEAL FOR RENOVATION WORK: With a simple assembly over an existing wall, a façade can be restored easily and quickly, improving aesthetic and technical conditions, with no need to disturb dwellers or users of the building
