Rear-Ventilated Facades

At FassaBo, we know from years of experience that a VHF facade is the ideal solution for your building. The rear-ventilated facade systems can be installed on both existing and new masonry. A VHF facade combines functionality and aesthetics. It can be completely customized to meet your exact requirements.

What are VHF facades?

VHF stands for “ rear-ventilated facade”. This is a non-load-bearing facade cladding that is installed with a slight gap in front of the load-bearing exterior wall.

Air circulates permanently between the facade and the load-bearing wall, which has several advantages. The cladding protects the building underneath, saves energy and gives the building a new, modern look. In contrast to the classic thermal insulation composite system, the facade cladding separates insulation and weather protection. The ventilated facade protects against all weather conditions so that insulation remains unaffected by moisture. Permanent air circulation allows any moisture to escape immediately.

We will find the right rear-ventilated facade for you

Experience the numerous possibilities and advantages of rear-ventilated facades for yourself. We will address all your questions and wishes in a personal consultation and advise you individually to find the perfect cladding for you. The facade claddings not only offer numerous design options in terms of appearance, but can also meet special requirements such as increased fire protection or sound insulation.

Advantages of VHF facades

Energy efficient

Thanks to the curtain facade and the layer of air circulating behind it, it offers protection from all weather conditions. In summer, less heat enters the interior, in winter it offers protection against damp and cold, while heat is retained in the interior. This facade system thus ensures a noticeably more pleasant indoor climate and also saves energy that would otherwise have to be used for heating or air conditioning.

Durable

The VHF facade serves as a protective barrier for the outer wall and the insulation. The facade itself is hardly susceptible to damage and therefore has a long service life. By protecting the load-bearing wall, it also remains intact for longer. In addition, the cladding can also be applied to existing walls without any problems, thus extending their service life without much effort.

Versatile

There are numerous possibilities for redesigning your building with ventilated facades. There are no limits to your wishes when it comes to design. Special requirements such as increased fire protection can also be taken into account. Rear-ventilated facades are not only practical, they also look good. The appearance of a building can be completely transformed with a new facade.

Frequently asked questions

Here we have once again compiled frequently asked questions about facade construction with rear-ventilated facades. We want you to have all the information you need for your facade construction. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What is the purpose of the rear ventilation gap?

The gap between the ventilated facade and the masonry is the so-called rear ventilation space or gap. The air layer is in permanent circulation and thus prevents moisture from remaining in the masonry and insulation. As a result, the moisture balance is permanently regulated and the insulation function is never impaired.

Which materials are suitable for a rear-ventilated facade?

Above all, it is important that the facade offers protection from the weather. In principle, all materials that are not negatively affected by sun, rain and wind are suitable. This is what makes rear-ventilated facades so versatile in terms of design. At FassaBo, we always rely on HPL as a material that is characterized by its resistance and robustness as well as its numerous design options.

How is the VHF facade fixed?

The rear-ventilated facade is attached to the load-bearing masonry using a substructure. The substructure creates a gap between the facade and the load-bearing wall, creating the ventilation gap.

How does the insulation of a VHF facade work?

The thermal insulation is applied to the load-bearing wall with a VHF facade behind the ventilated facade. This allows the insulating material to be applied without gaps. The rear ventilation gap also ensures that the insulation material remains dry thanks to permanent air circulation and also prevents mold growth. This ensures that the insulation remains functional in the long term.
