No other material can achieve such large-scale and seamless cubatures. A 2-dimensional textile facade makes a building unique.
The planning and design of 2D-TEXTILE FACADE requires a high level of know-how and experience. Special textiles are used which, when appropriately produced and prestressed, allow one-piece surface coverings of up to 400 m². Both aesthetic and technical requirements must be taken into account. The construction must ensure high stability and durability, while at the same time achieving an attractive appearance. In addition to structural de-sign, aspects such as weather resistance, fire protection and energy must also be taken into account in the planning phase. With our expertise and many years of experience in the field of 2D-TEXTILE FACADE, we are your expert system partner from planning to production and on-site installation.
When renovating old buildings, the facade design plays an important role. Here, 2D-TEXTILE FACADE can be an attractive solution, because very large surfaces can be connected to the existing facade with a minimum number of brackets / anchor points. This offers a decisive advantage, particularly in the case of energy-related renovation of old buildings. There are considerably fewer thermal bridges than with conventional façade systems. In addition, 2D-TEXTILE FACADE literally overshadow the existing building and thus make a very relevant contribution to preventing unwanted heat input.
In new buildings, more and more architects are opting for the combination of 2D-TEXTILE FACADE as lightweight aluminium fabric systems. These allow almost limitless design freedom and enable large-format cubature with full rear ventilation. The special textiles give the façade a cubic structure and also provide protection against the weather. The aluminum systems ensure high stability and durability with low weight. The combination of aesthetics and functionality is of great importance in the implementation of 2D-TEXTILE FACADE in new buildings.
In addition to all the functional arguments for a suitable type of façade, the 2D-TEXTILE FACADE offers a maximum of individuality and aesthetics. It is a question of the shape, color and individual design which can be achieved by the appropriate digital printing. The textile façade is thus much more than just a “functional shell”. It is a facade and a communication tool in one. With more than 30 years of experience in the field of design and printing of large cubature, we are among the specialists in 2D-TEXTILE FACADE architecture and provide your building with a unique look.
When using 2D-TEXTILE FACADE, it is important to ensure that the design is flawless in terms of fire protection. Therefore, the materials and coatings used should be designed to be non-combustible or flame-retardant and comply with the applicable fire protection regulations. Professional planning and installation of the facade as well as regular maintenance and inspection are also important aspects.
2D-TEXTILE FACADES are not only state of the art with regard to function and appeartance but also offer numerous advantages in terms of sustainability. The main argument lies in the comparatively very low mass that is installed. Lightweight aluminum construction combined with membranes that weigh no more than 650 gr./m² on average and thus also leave a very low CO2 footprint in production. In addition, all the “ingredients” of a 2D-TEXTILE FACADE can now be fed into fully standardized recycling cycles at the end of their lifetimes. In quite a few cases, it is even possible to use membranes that have already been manufactured from recycled raw materials. Let us inspire you with our Typico Green sustainability concept.
