Ventilation facade with a windproof membrane
Ventilation facade with a windproof membrane
Due to the ease of installation, high functionality, speed of erection and good technical characteristics, we can say that this is an innovative system for finishing external walls of buildings, consisting of finishing materials mounted on frame.
Ventilated facades occupy one of leading positions among the materials capable of creating appearance of modern buildings and structures. Fire safety is the most important parameter when choosing right solution. When designing a ventilation façade, flammability degree of the system each element, including windproof membrane, is taken into account.
Peculiarity of technology is that the method of installation of structure provides for presence of an air gap between the insulation and cladding, thanks to which air circulates freely, reliably protecting structure from excess moisture.
- Non-combustible membrane «FIREIZOL»
- Fixing element
- Thermal insulation
- Structural base
- Metal subsystem
- Cladding
In hinged ventilated facade systems, regardless of the type of their facing, the non-combustible membrane FIREIZOL is used as a wind-waterproof layer. FIREIZOL material is mounted on top of the insulation, keeping it from negative effects of precipitation, moisture and wind. Our product is, in accordance with GOST and the tests carried out, a non-combustible membrane for the facade with the highest safety level NG.
Instruction: installation of FIREIZOL in the systems of Ventilated Facade
-
Mounting brackets
First, the mounting brackets of hinged facade system are installed (in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations).
-
Insulation installation
Then, insulation plates are fixed by dowels. To fix one slab, 1-2 fasteners are required.
-
Preparation of canvas
FIREIZOL is rolled from top to bottom with an interference fit over the surface of insulation, preventing formation of bubbles and folds. Holes are cut in material at the exit points of brackets.
-
Mounting
Finally, membrane is fixed to the wall with required number of dowels - at least 3-4 pieces per sq m. Distance from dowel to the edge of canvas must be at least 5 cm.
Material is laid with an overlap of the canvases of at least 10 cm. It is advisable to fix these areas with dowels. Also recommended to use dowels at the junctions to windows and doors. FIREIZOL membrane should cover entire surface of the insulation, including ends; for this, a margin of at least 20 cm in width is required.
During installation and operation of structures, use of a non-combustible wind-waterproof membrane for the facade prolongs its service life, increases its thermal insulation characteristics and ensures safety of the system.
When arranging an attic space, it is necessary to ensure high-quality ventilation of the space around the membrane by organizing ventilation flows along the ridge, roof overhang, dormer windows, etc.
