Ceramic sustainable energy-efficient green facades and cladding
Green facades are becoming more popular as sustainable building design components become increasingly important because of the environmental benefits they provide.
More and more architects and engineers are looking into sustainable facade materials to use in their buildings. Ceramic facades are another great option because of their eco-friendliness and manageability.
Ceramic facades are made from natural raw materials, recyclable, and sustainably produced, making them the perfect choice for both domestic and industrial use.
Sustainable facade design
Modern facades serve more than just an exterior that elevates the aesthetic appeal of a building. Architects are now looking at opportunities to incorporate a sustainable facade design that is also functional.
From green facades to ceramic facade systems, there are a wide variety of options for sustainable facade material these days. When Klay talks about sustainable facade design, it is referring to exterior enclosures that employ less amount of energy to maintain a cozy temperature indoors, boosting efficiency to specific materials, which in turn give less negative impact on the environment.
Other benefits of sustainable facade design include:
- Highly flexible: Sustainable facades such as a ceramic facade system offer a wide range of colours, shapes, surfaces, and formats of brick tiles. Due to their versatility and flexibility, along with intelligent design and development, ceramic facades give architects the freedom to create truly modern and inspirational designs.
- Economical: Economic and ecological benefits are also two factors that need to be considered when selecting a sustainable facade system. Brick is 100% made of natural materials and free of harmful use of heavy metals and additives.
- Ventilation: Rear-ventilated ceramic facade systems such as KeraTwin and KeraShape carry out noticeably lesser heat losses during the wintertime and are highly reliable with heat protection in the summer.
- Easy installation: Ceramic facades can be easily installed and suitable for both new buildings and renovations of facades of older buildings, regardless of type.
