For an intelligent urban space

Studies show that the protection offered by ventilated facade systems allows for energy savings of up to 20% , as well as significantly simpler and more cost-effective maintenance and superior durability compared to any other option. And thanks to its modular flexibility, it’s the ideal solution for enhancing the aesthetics of any space, transforming it into a beautiful as well as functional solution.

Thermal insulation

Constant and uniform

Sound insulation

For greater comfort

Protection

To protect the wall structures

Breathability

Fire safety and non-combustible materials

RTV Regulation 13

The RTV 13 regulatory compliance imposes rigorous standards for the fire reaction of facades. Imola Tecnica responds by using porcelain stoneware .

  • Native Class A1: stoneware is naturally non-combustible, guaranteeing maximum passive safety.
  • Smoke resistance: no release of toxic gases when exposed to direct flames.
  • Anchoring systems: engineered to withstand extreme thermal stress.

Durability and reduced maintenance

Durability and reduced maintenance

An investment that pays off over time.

Unlike plaster (subject to cracking and dirt) or wood (which requires periodic treatments), Imola Tecnica ceramic slabs maintain their aesthetic and mechanical properties unchanged for decades.

  • 50+ years average lifespan
  • <0.5% water absorption coefficient

Technical FAQs

Can all ceramic products be used as cladding for ventilated facades?

Yes, engineered ceramic material (whether colored, glazed, or full-body) is the ideal solution for creating external ventilated facades in porcelain stoneware . Its suitability for use as an external cladding is determined by its intrinsic characteristics of extremely high mechanical flexural strength and total frost resistance, thanks to its virtually zero water absorption.

What are the advantages of ventilated facades in porcelain stoneware?

From a building engineering perspective, this solution offers:

  • Protection to safeguard the wall structures: the insulating cavity and the class A1 ceramic material guarantee maximum safety of the facade system , eliminating humidity and protecting the building from the elements;
  • Efficiency and comfort: the system promotes significant acoustic insulation of ventilated facades and optimizes the building’s thermodynamics, generating energy savings of up to 20%;
  • Optimized management: the absolute inalterability of stoneware ensures significantly simpler and more economical maintenance in the long term compared to plaster;
  • Aesthetics and design: the modular flexibility of ventilated facades makes this system ideal for enhancing architectural aesthetics, allowing installation even on pre-existing buildings without the need for demolition.

Does the ventilated facade constitute an increase in cubic capacity?

No. When designing ventilated facades , and in compliance with current legislation on energy efficiency, it is calculated that the technical volumes generated by the external envelope do not contribute to increasing the calculation of the useful volume of the building.
