You can believe at first that the primary function of the facades is purely aesthetic, but that should not be taken less seriously, but there are certain aspects to be considered as its impermeability (the ability to support the Water) thermal insulation to the inside and soundproofing.

Among the various types of facades can be found there:

Heavy facades: the facades are traditional brick, plates, stone or wood.

Curtain walling: This type of facade can be said to “hang” of the building. They are light and have no relation with the stability of the structure. They are the best thermal insulation and also have good sound insulation capability. For this reason, chances are costly because they involve a greater investment in extra heating or air conditioning.

Among its benefits highlights the fact that they have little weight and allow light to pass easily. On the other hand are easy to mount on high-rise buildings.

In the first classification “Curtain walling” are also transverses and precast facades.

The transverses are similar to curtain walls are stone or ceramic plates are used mainly in institutional buildings because they offer a higher quality finish.

The facades are composed of prefabricated wall modules, developed in workshops so as to reach the play you just have to assemble them. They may even get to start prefabricated facades with windows and doors installed. Concrete and wood are commonly found on such facades.
