HOW VENTILATED FAÇADES IMPROVE BUILDING PERFORMANCE IN FRANCE?

Novano’s façade system is precision-engineered for efficiency, durability, and visual excellence. Each panel interlocks seamlessly with concealed fixings, ensuring a refined, uninterrupted finish. Beyond aesthetics, it enhances building performance in France’s varied weather conditions.

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT

Continuous airflow between siding and wall prevents condensation, protecting insulation and ensuring durability, essential for France’s mixed climates.

THERMAL EFFICIENCY

The air cavity improves insulation, minimising energy loss in winter and reducing heat gain in summer, helping lower building energy costs.

SOUND INSULATION

Acts as an additional acoustic layer, reducing noise pollution and improving indoor comfort, ideal for urban or high-traffic areas.

DESIGN VERSATILITY

Available in 6” Flat Siding Profile and 6” Lusso Siding Profile, Novano gives architects the flexibility to create sleek, modern façades that complement today’s French architecture.

Ventilated façade systems outperform traditional wall designs by enhancing energy efficiency, durability, and visual appeal. This composite cladding merges sustainable materials with a rear-ventilated design to ensure long-term performance in France’s climate.

For architects, the system provides flexibility in both design and installation, compatible with metal, timber, and aluminium subframes, and easily integrated with standard cladding components for a seamless build.

Architects benefit from full specification support, including technical documentation, CAD drawings, and installation training, ensuring precision from concept to completion.
