Porcelain Ventilated Facades
A ventilated facade is a cladding system with an air cushion or cavity immediately behind which provides with a drainage, ventilation and thermal solution. It is usually an external cladding system mechanically fastened or bonded to a framework behind fixed to the external wall of a new or existing building. This ventilation allows for an exchange of air between the outside and the cavity behind the cladding panels, providing the solution for venting any moisture away from the facade, improving the thermal conditions inside the building and installing the insulation on the outside so to avoid thermal bridging.

XLight Ventilated Facades
XLight is a new type of extremely thin, large format porcelain tile, which is achieved thanks to the use of the latest technological advances in ceramic production. This material’s technical features make XLight the perfect ally for achieving fully integrated designs, allowing for the creation of facadesof great beauty, thanks to the collaboration of several companies from PORCELANOSA Group. It is available in two 1/8” thick formats, 118-7/64 x 39-3/8 “ and 39-3/8 x 39-3/8 “, back-reinforced with a fiberglass mesh that enhances the slab’s flexural strength. The large size of this type of porcelain tile, its zero water absorption, its resistance to atmospheric agents, its lightness with less than 10.5 kg/m2as well as its design, make the XLIGHT slabs an excellent solution for all types of facades.
