*Rear-ventilated facades* are among the most successful facade systems today. In addition to their functional safety, architects appreciate the extensive design options they offer, allowing facades to be individually tailored to the unique characteristics of each building. Even after decades of outdoor use, *ALUCOBOND®* retains the value of a property's exterior by avoiding the higher maintenance costs associated with many alternative solutions, thanks to its incorporation of rear-ventilated systems. The FVHF (Fachverband für vorgehängte hinterlüftete Fassaden), the Association for Rear-Ventilated Curtain Wall Facades, highlights the technical advantages of rear-ventilated facade systems. These advantages mainly lie in the structural separation of thermal insulation and weather protection functions, making them less susceptible to damage compared to other facade systems. Additional requirements such as fire safety, sound insulation and lightning protection can be easily integrated into the design.
