Industrial facade system

Use our range of metal profiles and trays to design multi-layer facade systems that adapt to the thermal and acoustic needs of the project efficiently, whether it is new construction or rehabilitation.

Light and resistant facade solutions
Versatile multilayer systems to meet all regulatory requirements
The perforated interior profiles will allow you to maximize acoustic comfort.

Select from our finishes to guarantee the durability of the facade depending on the interior and exterior environments.

Self-supporting multilayer facade

The main advantage of the self-supporting multi-layer façade is the saving of the secondary structure or purlins since the support profile can be fixed up to spans of 10 meters between supports. This system allows for greater performance in the installation phase since this profile serves as both a working platform and a bracing element for the structure.

Simple industrial facade

The Simple Facade is defined as consisting only of a corrugated sheet fixed directly on the purlins.

Multilayer industrial facade

The multilayer or sandwich façade in situ is composed of four elements: the outer sheet, the auxiliary profiles, the thermal-acoustic insulation and the inner sheet.

Facade for solar control

The solar control façade is made up of two main elements: internally, a normally floor-to-ceiling glazed coating and externally, a micro-perforated profile that adapts to the support structure. The main function of the second skin of the façade is to filter and control sunlight inside the building.

Related information

The industrial facade system can be proposed using a simple solution, composed of a single corrugated profile, or a multi-layer, composed of a corrugated profile for external cladding, a corrugated profile/inner tray and intermediate insulation.

The simple industrial facade solution is made up of a exterior facade profile that serves both as a sealing element and as support for the actions to which it is subjected. Its use is limited to canopies or closed spaces that do not require thermal and acoustic conditioning.

The multi-layer industrial facade solution is made up of a corrugated profile for external cladding, which serves as a sealing element, and a corrugated profile/inner support tray, which performs the resistant function against wind actions. This solution is used in closed spaces with thermal and acoustic conditioning needs.

The main structure, formed by frames every 5-10 m, is responsible for supporting the main actions of the roof, guaranteeing its integrity and stability.
The interior support profile, composed of a tray profile, constitutes the first layer of the roof enclosure and is placed and fixed on the main structure. This element supports the loads that act on the facade, mainly wind loads, meeting the corresponding mechanical requirements.
Thermal insulation, mainly rock wool, contributes significantly to energy savings and improves thermal and acoustic comfort inside the building.
The exterior cladding profile constitutes the last layer of the roof enclosure and is placed and fixed on the ribs of the interior support tray profile. Its main function is to ensure watertightness and proper drainage of the roof.

Packaging and transport: The industrial facade profiles are grouped in strapped packages of 8-25 sheets, with a maximum length depending on the type of profile and a maximum weight of 1.500 kg. Each package includes an identification label with details of the manufactured product, order and destination. Transportation is preferably carried out in a truck closed with a tarp to prevent the material from being exposed to the elements.
Reception and unloading: Before unloading, it is verified that the material matches the geometry and thickness specified in the project. Unloading is carried out with the appropriate lifting means, and preferably directly in the installation area, to minimize movements on site.
Storage and protection: On site, the packages are stored in a covered and ventilated area on inclined wooden sleepers and are protected from humidity with breathable tarps. Packages are not stacked more than three high and no other materials are placed on them.
Installation on the structure: The packages are oriented in the direction of installation and are placed manually, sheet by sheet, under the supervision of the Construction Management. In the case of large pieces, the sheets are lifted individually from the ground to their position on the facade.
