Modern facade and wall materials - trends 2021
The facade is the business card of the building, so it is important to choose the right materials with which it will be covered. Here both aesthetic and practical aspects count. Corten, clinker, modern fiber-cement panels and glass will give buildings character, while innovative solutions, as well as appropriate insulation and installation systems, will affect durability and safety. Looking for innovative, ecological and timeless facade and wall materials, it is worth paying attention to a number of novelties offered in 2021.
modern style and durability
In new buildings and those that we want to give a modern flair and lightness, it is worth using ventilated glass facades. The system proposed by Stefania consists of a unique aluminum structure, tempered glass in any shape and color, and thermal insulation with a ventilation gap. Architects and designers are eager to use them in public buildings, for example: hotels, sports halls and car dealerships.

natural beauty of corten
COR-TEN®steel is one of the most preferred natural facade materials by builders and architects. It is characterized by high strength, virtually maintenance-free, and flexible. Aesthetic and interesting rusty appearance is another advantage of corten steel. Buildings using COR-TEN® from manufacturer SSAB have aged nobly, and their developers have won awards for their innovative and sustainable designs.

tradition in a new edition
The industrial style popular in architecture can easily be achieved by using traditional clinker on the facade with a new edition. It is he who dresses buildings and interior walls in a modern garment. In Röben 's offer we can find a wide range of formats, colors and textures of clinker bricks. Gray, anthracite, black and red products, both shaded and with a smooth face, will give the facade or wall of a house a unique look.

proper insulation
Uncontrolled air infiltration through a building's structural elements is responsible for more than 30% of the costs incurred for heating and ventilation. The solution to this problem can be Kingspan insulating sandwich panels. The modern Kingspan AIR sandwich panel system with increased air insulation, thanks to the improved design of inter-panel joints, effectively optimizes the expenses associated with the use of buildings.

passive substructure systems
When choosing ventilated facades, it is worth remembering the appropriate, matching and passive substructure system. The BSP KW4 PAS system from BSP is a versatile option for attaching many different types of cladding to an exterior façade. Characteristic elements of this system are consoles with a plastic chamber spacer, eliminating the effect of "thermal bridges" on the external facade in the thermal insulation layer.

small solution for big savings
When deciding on a facade, for example, in the form of panels or ceramic facades, it is impossible to forget about their proper fastening. The R-TFIX-8M facade dowel is a novelty in the field of fixing facade thermal insulation from Rawlplug, combining energy-saving with efficient use. The new dowel with a driven metal pin is suitable for all substrates and is an easy-to-apply and durable solution that can be used with all insulators.
