Heavy - Technik

Introduction

Ventilated Façade or Double skin façade consists of two layers (Insulation & Cladding material) separated by an air chamber that works like a chimney to allow air circulation (Ventilation), this will help improve the heat insulation which will improve HVAC System efficiency.

Framing System Heavy (TEC-FSH-ALU), developed by Technik Engineering Industries, represents an advanced mechanical cladding solution. Constructed primarily from aluminum, this framing system is characterized by its lightweight design, high loading capacity for heavy façade materials, safety, reliability and ease of future maintenance.

This system is designed for heavy-weight cladding materials such as; natural stone, marble, granite, Porcelain and similar materials.

Features and applications

– Wind, thermal and moisture Protection.
– Simple, time saving installation.
– Highly durable aluminum and stainless steel materials
– Easy Maintenance and replacement of broken panels.
– Suitable for medium large cavities up to 600mm
– Possibility to install from slab to slab without middle supports

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Base material

Surfaces to which the facade can be anchored may consist of standardized materials (e.g. concrete, brick, steel, timber, etc.) or non-standardized materials. Surface layers such as rendering, coatings or facings do not count as load-bearing materials.

The following are suitable base materials:

Concrete in accordance with EN 206
Bricks in accordance with EN 771
Concrete Block Grade A or B with minimum compressive strength of 5N/mm2
Sand-lime block in accordance with EN 771
Aerated concrete in accordance with EN 771
Steel frame structures in accordance with EN 1090
Existing / unclassified masonry (load-bearing capacity must be verified by pull-out tests)
