Product • By Nordisk Profil GmbH • Woodfac Panel
Woodfac Panel
WOODFAC Panel is a closed façade system that wraps your building in real wood while quietly handling the hard work behind the scenes. Wooden lamellae sit on a structure of 100% recycled Greenline® aluminium, forming a breathable climate screen that protects the building without trapping moisture — the look of a timber façade, with the performance of a modern rainscreen.
Every lamella is FSC®- or PEFC™-certified and fire-impregnated with a Cradle to Cradle–certified, natural flame retardant, reaching fire classifications up to B-s1,d0 (EN 14915 / EN 16755). The wood is thermally treated for dimensional stability, so the façade stays true year after year — with no painting or treatment req... More

Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Panels
Invisibly integrating high quality PV technology in ventilated solar rain-screens combine architectural, economic and environmental qualities to produce a unique and transformative building material.
The solar facade will pay for itself both financially and environmentally while at the same time providing a highly durable and resilience cladding that will pay for itself many times over its multi generational life.
Ventilated rain-screens are a proven cladding solutions that protects the building against the elements and lower operational costs by simplifying maintenance and lower theremal load of the building. The structure also lends itself easily to reuse in a circular resource economy and when integrating PV it will furthermore produce... More

10 remarkable museum buildings with distinctive façade systems
The design of museums goes beyond its function of housing artefacts and exhibits; their architecture embodies the essence of a place, its culture, and its identity. In museum architecture, the façade system is one of the most significant features of the building. It can provide a visual representation of the museum's goals, convey the history of the place, narrate a unique story, or make a bold statement.
Additionally, it also contributes to the building's functionality and sustainability. For instance, some museum buildings use innovative façade systems to control the amount of natural light, thereby reducing the need for artificial lighting and lowering energy consumption. While some help in protecting the collectio... More

Baguettes by Tempio
The design of these sunscreen/baguette pieces allows multiples applications: they can be used as lattice, can be used as a filter of the light, can be used as a hide element for stairwells and openings, can be used as balustrade, pergola or even can be used to separate two atmospheres (both indoor and outdoor). They are manufactured up to 1.80 m in natural (full body) and glazed colours. These ceramic tiles can be installed using a very simple fixing system, which also includes a safety clip which prevent the pieces to be removed easily. More
Product • By TEMPIO • FF-K 30/R300 - Ceramic pieces for wall courtains
FF-K 30/R300 - Ventilated Facade Elements
FS system, vertical joint on facades. Its placing, with a wider perpend, fairly marks the horizontality of the pieces. This system has a special aluminium clamp that holds the piece and links it to the structure. When installing it, we will constantly check weights and levels. We fix the brackets to the structure with a mechanical anchor, and to the wall using a chemical anchor. The anchors will be the most suitable according to the quality of the wall. We fix the vertical profile to the brackets with steel rivets, so it allows the dilation of the aluminium. To do this, we rivet a fixed point above and the following with mobile points. Always following the same installation pattern, if, for example, we start right to left, we would fix the... More
