Rain-Screen Ventilated Facade
A rain-screen ventilated facade is a drained, back-ventilated outer skin fixed on a thermally isolated carrier, with an open cavity so moisture and heat escape behind the panel. Fenza builds rain-screen systems for ACP, solid aluminium, HPL, terracotta or stone panels over insulation.

About rain-screen ventilated facade
- What is a ventilated rain-screen facade?
- A rain-screen facade separates the outer cladding from the insulated wall by an air cavity. The outer panels shed most water, while the ventilated cavity drains and dries any moisture that gets behind them.
- What panels can be used on a rain-screen?
- ACP, solid aluminium, HPL, terracotta and stone can all be carried on the aluminium rail-and-bracket system, with concealed or visible fixing by panel type.
