Coverlam® Facades

Innovative Construction Solutions for Any Project

Coverlam can provide innovative construction solutions for any project thanks to its unbeatable technical and aesthetic properties.

When used on facades, its large format and the variety of sizes available mean the installation can be completed in fewer steps while adapting to the requirements of the planned design.

Facade Renovations

Despite being so thin, Coverlam is able to withstand the stresses that a cladding material for ventilated facades is typically subjected to.

Coverlam, laid on top of the existing material without the need to carry out any demolition work. This does away with the inconveniences typically associated with a facade renovation, such as noise, dust and debris, and means the work can be completed more quickly.

Its minimal thickness and weight facilitate storage and transport, and mean adding less load to the existing structure. overlaying it on any material without the need for demolition.

This way, the typical inconveniences of facade rehabilitation such as noise, dust, and debris are eliminated, reducing the work time.

Its reduced thickness and weight facilitate storage and transportation, adding minimal additional load to the existing structure.

Ventilated Facades

Facades attached with chemical adhesive systems are an innovative solution for installing Coverlam tiles of between 3.5 and 5.6 mm thick. This concealed fix method provides a modern aesthetic by eliminating visible elements, ensuring the facade is perfectly integrated with the architecture.

It offers not only an elegant finish, but also structural resistance complying with high safety standards. Ideal for residential and commercial projects, this system highlights the aesthetic beauty of Coverlam tiles while ensuring durability and efficiency.

 

Facade Maintenance

Since it is so easy to handle on site and to install on the facade, using Coverlam means that the replacement problems that usually occur during the maintenance of a ventilated facade are far less of an issue.

In addition, the renovation of facades using our H&C Tiles treatment for Coverlam is a key factor in the elimination of air pollution, especially NOx. The photocatalytic feature of the H&C Tiles treatment also has a self-cleaning function; the hydrophilic properties of the surface and the release of active oxygen help eliminate any organic dirt that may have stuck to the facade.

Facts About Facades!

1Are porcelain façade tiles UV resistant?
Yes. Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to UV rays, meaning their colour, finish and appearance will not fade or degrade over time, even when exposed to direct sunlight.
2How do porcelain façades perform in different weather conditions?
Porcelain is both heat and frost resistant, making it a reliable and durable choice for use in a wide range of climates. It performs consistently in hot summers, cold winters and variable UK weather conditions.
3Are ventilated façades waterproof?
Yes. Ventilated façade systems incorporate an air cavity behind the tile surface, which prevents water from penetrating through to the internal wall structure. Any moisture that does enter the system is able to drain and evaporate naturally.
4Do ventilated façades improve energy efficiency?
Yes. The combination of external insulation and the ventilated air gap helps regulate internal temperatures, making buildings more energy efficient and reducing overall heating and cooling demand.
5How does insulation affect internal heat flow?
By positioning insulation on the external face of the wall and floor structure, thermal bridges across the façade are eliminated. This helps prevent heat loss during winter and reduces heat gain during summer, resulting in energy savings of approximately 15% to 35% in heating and air conditioning costs.
6How does a ventilated façade manage external heat?
External insulation increases the building’s thermal mass, improving thermal inertia and stabilising internal temperatures. The porcelain wall tile also acts as a protective screen, reflecting a significant amount of solar radiation and preventing excess heat from entering the building, creating a more comfortable internal environment.
