VENTILATED FAÇADES

Neolith ventilated façade is characterized by a constructive solution of building enclosure, composed by air cavity separated by layers, one responsible of thermal insulation and sealant, and an external layer whose primary mission is to create an air cavity.

Neolith ventilated façade is considered both for new construction and rehabilitation.

NEOLITH VENTILATED FAÇADE ELEMENTS

Support element: The interior layer aims to stabilize the composition, provide acoustical insulation properties and supporting element of the external layer

Thermal insulation layer: High thermal insulation, the insulation covers the entire veneer continuously, eliminating thermal bridges

Substructure: Metallic structure, or wood structure responsible of external layer support, separating the two layers creating an air cavity. The substructure is responsible for transmitting vertical loads, weight of external layer and horizontal wind loads

Air cavity: Ventilation of cladding bringing benefits of energy efficiency, improved noise performance, eliminating condensation, etc.

NEOLITH external cladding: continuous facing (exterior finish) which remains separate from the wall of the enclosure, cladding not only as decoration, but as the first guard against harmful environmental influences.

NEOLITH VENTILATED FAÇADES PROPERTIES

NEOLITH ventilated façades provide energy saving up to 40%.

The circulating air flow helps to prevent the accumulation of temperature, it also assists the removal of humidity caused by rain or condensation.

NEOLITH cladding blocks direct solar radiation and provides continuous insulation, improving building energy management.

NEOLITH offers a variety of sizes and finishes to satisfy architectural demands.

Weather resistance and color stability, therefor neither rain nor sun affects its surface.

NEOLITH façades require no maintenance and because of its minimmum absorption <0.1% it is easy to clean.

Due to its size, NEOLITH façades yield shorter execution times.

Low weight and manageability 12 kg/m2 (5 mm) and large surface up to 3600x1200 mm.

TYPICAL APPLICATION ON STUD FRAMING

The NEOLITH system is companioned with the Keil Concealed Anchoring System for Façade Panels.

This incorporates the Keil undercut anchor holes into the 10mm NEOLITH ceramic panel at design points with an aluminum clasp extrusion.

The aluminum extrusion then anchors with the mated supporting grid system attached to the substrate structure. The grid system is preset and pre-aligned so that installation of the NEOLITH panel is set in a “drop and go” fashion.

Combined with the large panel size and energy efficiency of a pressure equalized wall system, this system provides architects with large color fields and screen wall energy efficiency at minimal component weights.

The NEOLITH system is companioned with the SikaTack panel adhesive system to an aluminum substrate element to provide an aesthetically pleasing and large module format for exterior facades.

Combined with the large panel size, and minimal ceramic tile thickness, the 5 mm+ NEOLITH panel applied to an aluminum substrate element provides architects with large color fields and screen wall energy efficiency at minimal component weights.

Composed as a hidden support system using chemical-elastic longitudinal fixation mounting on vertical profiles “T” or “L, depending on whether they match the joint between Neolith pieces or if they are reinforcing the center of the joint, and support the bearing through retention or sustentation brackets.

The whole system has been tested in laboratories certified for such a fact, the results having been found satisfactory for the use of NEOLITH.

The NEOLITH system is companioned with traditional aluminum curtain wall elements to provide an aesthetically pleasing and large module format for exterior facades. The NEOLITH is anchored in a traditional structurally glazed application similar to glass glazing elements.

Combined with the large panel size and minimal ceramic tile thickness, the 5mm to 10mm NEOLITH panel provides architects with large color fields at minimal component weights.

The NEOLITH is applied to the aluminum curtain wall elements by using Dow Corning 983 silicone which testing has proved to reveal adhesion is 100% and fully warrantable by Dow Corning.

Depending on projects’s design wind pressure, different Neolith panel sizes can be installed.

Structural glazing systems combined with Neolith provide and architecturally high quality

solutions with a completely flush-fitted façade design can be used. As a thermally broken façade system with flush-fitted opening units and fixed lights integrated in the load-bearing structure, not visible on the outside or inside

The systems offer a wide range of solutions for large and small constructions.

The NEOLITH system is companioned with the Kingspan Benchmark structural insulated panel system to provide an aesthetically pleasing and large module format for exterior facades.

Combined with the insulating values, large panel size, and minimal ceramic tile thickness, the 3mm to 5mm NEOLITH panel applied to a Benchmark insulated panel provides architects with large color fields and energy efficiency at minimal component weights. The NEOLITH is applied to the Benchmark panels by using Dow Corning 983 Silicone which testing has proved to reveal adhesion is 100% and fully warrantable by Dow Corning.

NEOLITH panels adhered to Kingspan Insulated Panels using Dow Corning 983 Silicone can withstand wind load requirements prescribed in local building codes

System strength depends on Kingspan Insulated Panels capacity.

Kingspan Benchmark System

• Multiple size façade finishes, very low limitations.

• Suitable for buildings of any height.

• Simple and fast to construct.

• Easily accommodates openings, penetrations and complex façades.

• Simple integration with doors, windows, glazing, louvres and traditional construction materials.

• Lifetime insulation continuity, thermal performance and airtightness (less than 5m3/hr/m2) certainty.
