We represent the German manufacturer of substructures and facade components, Systea GmbH, and offer our customers a rich, technologically advanced range of materials for the construction and installation of substructures for ventilated facades, balconies, and staircase and balcony railings. In addition to high-quality materials and a developed substructure system for all types of ventilated facades, we also provide the structural calculation of the substructure, and all components are tested and certified with the appropriate attestations and necessary certificates.

A system with multiple protective functions
Efficiency, highly developed technology, and a wide range of design possibilities are the features of ventilated facades. The protective functions of ventilated facades are impressive. Each facade can be individually designed to meet its needs.

Thermal insulation

The ventilated facade system can be designed for various energy-saving requirements, with thermal insulation of any desired thickness. This makes it possible to achieve U-values that are typically characteristic of low-energy and passive houses, and even surpass the thresholds presented in the latest energy-saving regulations. In terms of energy-saving requirements, the insulation achieves the best possible heat accumulation values, which compensates for high summer temperatures.

Rain protection

The facade is the structural component most vulnerable to damage. Due to constant exposure to weather conditions, damage occurs over time. According to DIN 4108-3, ventilated facades belong to Class III and are resistant to direct rain impact. Moisture is quickly removed through the ventilated space between the insulation material and the cladding (weather protection). The rain protection of ventilated facades works on two levels: the airspace functions as a pressure equalization zone, ensuring that, in the worst case, rainwater is diverted behind the cladding, protecting the thermal insulation from moisture. Thus, it is possible to construct rear-ventilated facades with open, horizontal joints, without compromising rain protection.

Moisture and condensation protection

Due to the structure of the ventilated facade, the resistance to water vapor diffusion is reduced from the inside to the outside. Moisture that occurs during the use of the building or moisture accumulated in the walls during construction is channeled to the ventilated space, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable indoor climate.

Fire protection

Due to the free choice of components in the ventilated facade system, fire protection requirements for "non-combustible" or "difficultly combustible" categories can be met in accordance with regulations.

Sound protection

Ventilated facades can positively influence the sound insulation properties of the external wall. Depending on the thickness of the insulation, the dimensions of the cladding, and the percentage of open joints, the noise reduction index can increase by up to 14 dB.

Lightning protection

In recent years, the protection of IT systems in buildings has become increasingly important. This is associated with additional costs, which can be significantly reduced with ventilated facades. The aluminum substructure can replace lightning conductors, and an electromagnetic shield can be created during construction. If the investor opts for an electro-conductive facade cladding, very effective lightning protection is ensured for both the building and the electronics inside, which is highly efficient in terms of installation and maintenance.

Perfected to the smallest detail

Ventilated facades (also known as wind facades and rear-ventilated facades) are among the most popular facade systems.

In addition to their functional safety, architects mainly appreciate the design possibilities offered by the use of ventilated facades. The system allows for various types of facade cladding. The design can thus be individually tailored to the characteristics of the building.

Combinations of different materials can also be easily implemented.

A significant technological advantage of ventilated facade systems is that the insulation elements and the weather protection elements are structurally separated. These systems are therefore less prone to damage compared to other facade systems. Furthermore, fire protection, soundproofing, and lightning protection requirements can be easily and creatively implemented.

The components of the ventilated facade system are defined by the DIN 18516-1 standard for external wall cladding, rear-ventilated, Part 1: Requirements, testing principles.

External wall cladding

A wide range of materials is available for ventilated facade cladding. Durability, light resistance, and freeze resistance are basic requirements to meet the growing demand for facade longevity. Proven and tested materials include HPL and fiber-reinforced composite panels, fiber-reinforced cement boards, ceramics and ceramic stone, copper, titanium zinc, aluminum composite panels, aluminum plates, and bricks. Furthermore, hanging systems can be used for individual requirements for cladding made of plaster, glass, natural stone, ceramics, or metal.

Rear ventilated space

Insulation components (thermal insulation, fire protection) and external cladding (weather protection) in ventilated facades are structurally separated. The ventilated space between components regulates humidity within building structures: moisture from building elements and moisture arising from space use is reliably removed through the ventilated space. Moist exterior walls dry in the shortest possible time. This also ensures optimal climate control and comfort inside the building.

Insulation

The dual-layer ventilated facade system structurally separates the weather protection function from the thermal insulation function. For ventilated facades on buildings of any height and purpose, mineral insulation materials with thermal conductivity group 032 or 035 are commonly used. The requirements of the Technical Regulation on Rational Energy Use and Thermal Protection in Buildings are easily met, as this system allows the installation of any required insulation thickness. Increasing insulation thickness is possible under certain conditions.

Substructure

The substructure is the static connection between the outer wall structure and the facade cladding. Aluminum and wood, or their combination, are potential materials for load-bearing structures. Aluminum substructures are used in most cases. Aluminum constructions can be adjusted in three directions and are attached to the load-bearing external wall without additional internal stresses.

Unevenness and bumps on the walls can be corrected with perfect horizontal and vertical alignment. Aluminum substructures can also be effectively integrated into the lightning protection system, even if the facade cladding is not conductive.
