There are several ways how the facade of the building, even a very old building, is turned externally into an ultramodern design. Usually for such a case, plastic siding , corrugated board is used. But the brightest polished metal transforms the most effective effect. Here we describe a modern type of construction work, which is called the facade cladding with metal cassettes.
What is a metal cassette façade?
The design of these products is very simple. Cassettes are made of stainless steel, aluminum or galvanized steel, which has a good effect on their durability. A bit less often used brass or copper. Rectangular billets are bent from all four sides and fastened to the wall using a system consisting of brackets and guides. A reliable ventilated facade is created in which a thermal insulation material is used. The walls are protected from moisture, sun, frost. They do not need any special care and are well insulated.
Facing metal cassettes is carried out in two ways - a hidden attachment and visible fastening. In the first case, the fastening elements can be visually seen from a close distance on the wall, but they are painted in the color of the cassettes, and these details are not distinguished on the general background. The concealed fastening presupposes a more complex manufacture of cassettes, which somewhat affects their cost. But their surface looks almost monolithic.
The advantage of using façade metal cassettes
- Installation work is quite simple.
- Hide all the surface irregularities that were allowed at an early stage of building construction.
- Aluminum or galvanized steel perfectly resist corrosion, cassettes have a long enough life, even in difficult weather conditions (up to 50 years).
- You can choose the color of the facade and the shape of the cassettes, which makes it possible to carry out bold design ideas.
- Atmospheric precipitation and ultraviolet do not affect the color of the painting of the cassettes, so there is no need for periodic repair work.
- This material happens with different levels of gloss and texture.
- Cassettes provide not only good strength of the facade, but also its absolute fire safety.
The installation of this ventilated facade is quite simple, and it can be produced in almost any weather. The cost of the finishing material is slightly higher than the siding or mineral panels. But all the qualities listed above make the façade of metal cassettes not only a fashionable solution, but also a very practical matter.
