Tips for choosing materials for exterior facades

However, when moving within the restrictions mentioned above, the investor has some freedom to choose the material. When making it, it is worth considering the colour and possible pattern that we want to get on the façade. For modern, unconventional designs, fibre-cement, lactic wallpaper or other unusual facades may be the optimal solution.

It is also worth considering the time that we want to devote to covering the façade. Easy to transport, lightweight materials are assembled faster than heavier ones. By choosing them, as a result, we also save on labour.

Hygienic properties of the product are also an important selection criterion. It is both about whether the material is environmentally friendly and whether it is as safe as possible for humans.

Why bet on the fibre-cement façade?

Fibre-cement facades are incredibly robust, impressive and innovative. They are an excellent choice for both public architecture and private property. Cladding panels combine many advantages of other casting materials and provide the most comprehensive application possibilities.

Their unique advantages, available exclusively in the Pozbruk offer, include:

• availability in the form of large-format boards – pozbruk produces them in the largest size on the market, i.e. up to 1200×3200 mm. Such a large plate format combined with a simple and efficient mounting system significantly reduces installation time and costs;
• almost limitless possibilities to customise the appearance of the boards with the use of any prints - from imitation wood or stone to artistic, unconventional patterns. They allow you to create the most creative and original arrangements of facades.

Additional advantages of fibre-cement boards include:

• can be used outdoors as well as indoors,
• the possibility of combining plastic with almost any other type of façade,
• ease of treatment allowing the material to be used on flat and rounded and convex surfaces,
• the lightness of the plates and ease of installation using a dedicated mounting system for substructures from aluminium profiles,
• high resistance to UV rays and the ability to retain the original colour for a long time,
• excellent thermal and acoustic insulation,
• natural, eco-friendly materials supported by hygienic approval,
• high resistance to pests, fungi and moulds thanks to the structure enabling air circulation,
• deformation resistance even at extreme temperatures – from -40 to +60oC,
• high moisture resistance,
• easy to keep clean,
• durability and resistance to chipping due to the flexibleness of the plates,
• health safety – the product belongs to class A+ in terms of volatile emissions. It means that SCALAMID is exceptionally safe for allergy sufferers, as it is close to zero;
• non-flammability, confirmed by the product's classification in fire class A1,
• compliance with EU CE standards,
• 15-year warranty period.

Choose the perfect material for modern or unconventional façade designs

Traditional most popular materials for exterior facades of buildings show many advantages, but none of them provides as many benefits as fibre-cement ones. Fibre-cement plates combine the robustness of concrete and the impressive appearance of wood, stone or pouring wallpaper. These and other properties make this well ahead of the solutions available on the market so far. Therefore, it is worth choosing to use it, especially if we think we have an unconventional façade, requiring a personalised, large-format print.
