Porcelain Ventilated Rainscreen FaĤade

The Porcelain Ventilated Rainscreen Façade system involves the mechanical application of porcelain cladding to structures without the use of mortar, grout, or caulk. Engineered to protect buildings against the combined action of rain and wind while offering impressive aesthetic characteristics, the system inherently provides solutions for sustainable design.The Ventilated Façade System's numerous benefits include energy savings, healthier interior environments, extended life of structures, and enhanced design. - Energy savings result from the reduction of cold and heat energy transfers to the building interior by eliminating thermal bridges, increased energy efficiency created by an air insulation blanket, and reflection of solar radiation.- Healthier interior building environments occur as enhanced moisture removal from the building structure reduces the risk of mold contamination.- Extended life of building structures is achieved as the reduction in moisture protects structures from deterioration and light-weight porcelain slabs reduce building weight load and eliminate concern of surface deterioration from acid rain, UV exposure, and other environmental factors. - Enhanced design and building processes include the elimination of mortar, grout, and caulk, improved building maintenance access, expanded design options allowing for the flexibility of 360° cladding, and greater aesthetic possibilities with porcelain surface options.Potential LEED ContributionPorcelain Ventilated Rainscreen Façade system may contribute to LEED certification in four categories of both new construction and existing building standards: Innovation & Design, Indoor Environmental Quality, Materials & Resources, and Energy & Atmosphere
