Exterior Cladding
Ventilated Facades
WHAT ARE
Ventilated Facades
Neolith porcelain panels installed on a high performance system used to design the exterior of custom homes and commercial buildings.
what is neolith
Neolith facades consist of two parts, large format porcelain slabs and the Skyline installation system.
Neolith Porcelain Slabs
Neolith is the world's leading brand in sintered stone. A revolutionary porcelain slab with premium technical features manufactured with 400 tons of pressure.
Neolith Skyline System
Five innovative facade installation systems that all offer the advantages of permeability, thermal insulation, solar protection, acoustic insulation and water impermeability.
how it works
The Major Advantages of Ventilated Facades
Permeability
Moving air diffuses water vapor from the inside out and facilitates facade “breathing” which prevents condensation from forming behind the panels.
Thermal Insulation
Insulation on the external structure eliminates any thermal bridges, thus reducing temperature fluctuations inside the building for energy savings of up to 40% in some cases.
Solar Protection
The inside of the building is thermally comfortable as overheating is prevented in the summer by protecting the building from direct sunlight and other elements.
Acoustic Insulation
The noise absorption is higher since the ventilated facade system is comprised of various layers.
Water Impermeability
The chimney effect created by the air chamber provides extra protection due to the air pressure which prevents water infiltration and protects the building structure.
how it works
The Neolith Skyline Installation Systems
HC System
An exclusively chemical ventilated facade system with hidden fixing. It is designed for outdoor facade cladding using 6 mm thick Neolith panels. For safety reasons, a fiberglass mesh is applied to the back of the panels to prevent shattering caused by accidental breakage. This system includes support and retention brackets, vertical profiles (T-100x50x2mm and L-42x50x2mm sections) and chemical adhesion system of the Neolith cladding panels. The chemical fixing includes pre-treatments for both the profile and slab (for enhanced adhesion), double-sided adhesive tape and DOWSIL 795 Silicone adhesive. The support and retention brackets properly level the vertical profiles making it possible to correct any irregularities in the support wall behind the facade to be cladded. A minimum horizontal and vertical joint of 5mm between Neolith panels is recommended.
HC Slim System
This construction solution is designed for both interior and exterior wall cladding with 6mm thick Neolith panels. It is a hidden mounting system that uses a longitudinal chemical-elastic fixing on vertical "Omega" or "Z" profiles, depending on whether the profiles coincide with the joints between Neolith panels or intermediate reinforcement. Due to the reduced space (22mm) that the system needs, it is ideal for cladding perfectly plumb interior walls. A minimum horizontal and vertical joint of 5mm between Neolith panels is recommended.
HU System
An exclusively mechanical ventilated facade system designed for Neolith panels with thicknesses of 12mm or 20mm. For safety reasons, a fiberglass mesh is applied to the back of the panels to prevent shattering caused by accidental breakage. This system is comprised of brackets, vertical profiles, horizontal profiles and clips. All elements are made of aluminum. The support and retention brackets make the aluminum "T" profiles properly flat, correcting any wall deviations in the facade to be cladded. The horizontal profiles are fixed on the vertical profiles forming a structural framework. These horizontal profiles have a male-shaped section. The female-shaped clips are fixed to the back of the Neolith panels with an expansive anchor (Keil or similar). A drill hole and an undercut must first be made in the Neolith panel in order to install these expansive anchors. Finally the Neolith panels with the installed clips are hung on the horizontal profiles. Due to the design of the clips, this system may be vertically adjusted on the facade once a Neolith panel is installed. A minimum horizontal and vertical joint of 5mm between Neolith panels is recommended.
Strongfix System
A mixed hidden longitudinal fastening system (chemical and mechanical), which works by the compression exerted by the system on the back of the Neolith panel. Is designed for outdoor facade cladding using 6mm or 12mm thick Neolith panels. These panels are industrially mechanized with a longitudinal profile at the top and bottom of their backside with a double 45º groove, where a couple of aluminum profiles are inserted and fixed with an adhesive putty in order to secure the Neolith panel. These metal profiles make up the hanging mechanism for the Neolith panels and are very beneficial as they are easy to remove and replace. The system is comprised of retention and support brackets, and aluminum vertical profiles. With the brackets, the aluminum "T" profiles can be installed completely flat, thus correcting any wall deviations in the facade to be cladded. The Neolith panels are hand set to a horizontal supporting profile with a mechanical longitudinal fixation system comprised of two aluminum profiles fixation. This aluminum set becomes indivisible given the mechanizing method of the Neolith panel and the fixing of the profiles. This system eliminates the risk of Neolith panels becoming detached from the structure in case of breakage. This is the reason why this system is considered the safest in the market. Furthermore, the way in which the Neolith panels are hung on the horizontal structure provides for perfect flatness and an aesthetic finish. This system also allows for easy removal and replacement when needed. A minimum horizontal and vertical joint of 5mm between Neolith panels is recommended.
VM System
A mixed ventilated facade system that is both mechanically and chemically fixed to make the system even more secure. It is a visible fixing system designed for outdoor facade cladding using 6mm thick Neolith panels. For safety reasons, a fiberglass mesh is applied to the back of the panels to prevent shattering caused by accidental breakage. This system is comprised of support and retention brackets, vertical profiles (T-100x50x2mm and L-42x50x2mm sections) and clips for Neolith cladding panels. The profiles as well as the brackets are made of 6063 T5 aluminum alloy while the clips, fixings, nuts and bolts are made of AISI 304 stainless steel. A minimum vertical joint of 5 mm and a minimum horizontal joint of 8 mm between Neolith panels is recommended as marked by the clips on the panels.
