Secondary Facade Systems are high-efficiency façade solutions that enhance a building’s energy performance, durability, and aesthetic value by creating a second protective skin between the main façade and the external environment. This system forms a controlled air cavity between the outer cladding layer and the primary façade, providing additional protection to the building envelope regardless of façade geometry.

Secondary façade applications can be developed using metal, glass, composite materials, corten steel, expanded metal, perforated panels, load-bearing grid systems, or custom-designed surfaces. They can be manufactured as fixed, modular, or demountable systems for maintenance and future revisions.

Benefits Provided by Secondary Façade Systems

• Protects the building envelope against rain, wind, UV radiation, and environmental effects
• Improves façade ventilation, ensuring thermal and humidity control
• Reduces heat loss and enhances energy efficiency
• Lowers façade maintenance costs and extends the service life of the structure
• Enhances safety with fire performance layers and façade drainage systems
• Creates three-dimensional architectural expression, depth, and a modern façade identity

System Types

Can be implemented with different technical solutions depending on the project:

• Ventilated Secondary Façade Systems
• Mesh / Expanded Metal Façade Claddings
• Perforated Panel Façades
• Corten / Metal Plate Modular Façades
• Façades integrated with solar control & sun-shading surfaces
• Glass or hybrid façade envelopes

Application Areas

Preferred in buildings where energy management and façade durability are critical:

• Office and administrative buildings
• Shopping malls and commercial buildings
• Airports and transportation facilities
• Hotels, residential complexes, and housing projects
• Universities, campuses, cultural and educational buildings
• Industrial and technology production facilities
