Installation of ceramic facade of the FS system

We show you in detail how to install our ceramic façade with the FS system, installation of continuous system and discontinuous system.

The use of ventilated facade as an innovative construction system has gained a good suport among architects and contractors. This is due to its high quatilty standars, its esthetic possibilities and, specially, its thermic and acoustic isolation properties.

This system has open vertical and overlapping horizontal joints. Alveolar piece system that we designed with the needs of the international market in mind. It is an innovative system of vertical and horizontal overlapping joints that prevents rainwater from entering. Its thickness provides a great resistance to impacts. It is easy to replace the pieces and practical to hide installations.Its placing, with a wider perpend, fairly marks the horizontality of the pieces. This system has a special aluminium clamp that holds the piece and links it to the structure. When installing it, we will constantly check weights and levels. We fix the brackets to the structure with a mechanical anchor, and to the wall using a chemical anchor. The anchors will be the most suitable according to the quality of the wall. We fix the vertical profile to the brackets with steel rivets, so it allows the dilation of the aluminium. To do this, we rivet a fixed point above and the following with mobile points. Always following the same installation pattern, if, for example, we start right to left, we would fix the first on the right and the following would be mobile. We will always follow this guideline throughout the building’s entire vertical line. A laminated aluminium spring completes the structure, which closes the vertical joint and absorbs the vibrations introduced by external agents. Once the structure is finished, the pieces will be placed with the aluminium clamps.
