Why Choose a Ventilated Facade for Contemporary Architecture?

A ventilated facade is a double-skin system that improves thermal insulation, protects structural walls, and elevates the design of exterior buildings. Widely used in energy-efficient architecture across Europe and the Middle East, this solution is now the preferred choice for high-performance residential and commercial buildings.

By combining Caesar’s porcelain stoneware slabs with advanced fastening systems, professionals can achieve:

-     Reduced energy consumption (up to 30%)
-     Enhanced acoustic insulation
-     Effective moisture control
-     Aesthetic freedom with long-lasting finishes

Looking for a façade solution that balances beauty and performance? Contact Caesar for tailored ventilated facade support and technical materials.

Porcelain Stoneware: The Ideal Material for Ventilated Façades

Not all cladding materials offer the same guarantees. Caesar’s porcelain stoneware is ideal for ventilated facade systems thanks to its:

-     Resistance to UV rays and thermal shock
-     Low water absorption
-     Mechanical strength and dimensional stability
-     Low maintenance requirements

Collections such as:

-     Portraits
-     Iconica
-     Slab2

...are available in large formats and natural or textured finishes, perfect for vertical installation with clean joints and contemporary impact.

 

How a Ventilated Facade Works

A ventilated façade system consists of:

-Support structure anchored to the building envelope

-Insulation layer to reduce thermal bridges

-Air cavity, allowing natural ventilation

-Porcelain panels fixed with visible or concealed anchoring systems

This setup creates a chimney effect: hot air rises and escapes through the upper part of the cavity, while cooler air enters from below. The result? Lower interior temperatures, improved indoor comfort, and lower HVAC loads—especially valuable in Gulf climates.

From our Collection

ICONICA

A protagonist in over 2000 years of art and architectural history, travertine is a universal icon with a unique and unmistakable personality. In the third millennium, the appeal of travertine continues unaffectedly to captivate designers all over the world.

Iconica reinvents the appeal of travertine in a complete surface system, multiplying aesthetic and design perspectives. A versatile and cosmopolitan design tool originates from a balanced graphic and colour reinterpretation, combining the timeless aesthetics with the exceptional performance and functionality of porcelain stoneware.

SLAB2

Slab2 imprints the very essence of slate on the ceramic surface, so alive and dynamic that it evolves continuously without ever losing its expressive identity. A transversal subject of design and imagination, capable of being modernised in any environment, going beyond the fashions of the time and the boundaries of genre and style.

The authenticity of the inspirational stone is declined in a versatile and chameleon-like collection, free to be interpreted in combination with heterogeneous colours and materials to give life to multiform projects and stylistic atmospheres.
