Types Of Facade That You Can Use To Beautify Your Building
By definition, a building facade means the face of a building. The role of an exterior facade is to beautify the building from the outside and protecting the interiors by keeping it cool during the summers and warm during the winters. Isn’t that amazing? Styling and protection with just a facade! An exterior facade is an element to creatively display the balance, design, and aesthetics of a building. And so, a building facade opens an array of opportunities for architects to build new exterior designs. With so many facade systems and materials in the market, architects can easily enhance the look of a building. But, before an architect selects a building facade to beautify the building, they need to keep the following factors in mind:
- ● Weather conditions
- ● Degree of sunlight entry
- ● Fire-retardant properties
- ● Ventilation
- ● The shape of the building
- ● Local planning requirements
These factors can help you and your facade manufacturer select a facade that best suits your building type.
Types of Facade
1. Steel Facade
Steel facades work well for corporate buildings because they deliver a very sleek and structured look, which is appreciated in the professional world. A steel exterior facade is pretty easy to install and can be cut into any shape to match the dimensions of a project. Therefore, steel facades are a boon to architects as this facade facilitates them to design a building with a complex exterior structure. Also, steel facades become a more favourable option because they can resist high wind pressures and support the weight of any cladding system fixed over them. Isn’t that great?!
Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) Facade
The main reason for architects to use Aluminum Composite Panel is because it is durable and light-weight. Plus, they come in a variety of metallic, non-metallic shades & imitation patterns to suit your aesthetics. Not just that, your facade manufacturer can also make the aluminium composite panels look like wood and marble with excellent finishes and the thickness level you desire. So, mould these ACP facades into any shape and get that ultra-modern look for the building!
Brick Slip Facade
Want your house or building to have a rustic look? Then a brick slip exterior facade is the way to go. Builders mount the brick slips over steel or aluminum composite. Here, the structural support is given by the panels but, a brick slip facade's main job is to give an aesthetically pleasing look. They can be easily molded in vertical, ribbon, or uniquely shaped windows with intricate wall designs. Since a brick slip facade doesn't have a strong resistance to weather, it is advised to choose strong backing material.
Steel & Glass Facades
A facade manufacturer will suggest using the combination of steel and glass facades when the scale of the complex is large and multi-storeyed. The stainless steel acts as a facade system and is the internal support for the building, whereas the glass facades lend an impeccable stylish look to the building by relying on the stainless steel for support.
