A Spanish façade company, which already has a presence in the Far East through China and South Korea, is now targeting the Middle Eastern market.
The company is showcasing its ventilated ceramic façade system for the first time in the region at this year’s Big 5.
Faveton Ceramics are manufactured by extrusion of a porcelain body and their technical qualities, such as frost resistance, chemical resistance and high mechanical resistance make them highly suitable for cladding in most regions.
Luis Matos, commercial director, Faveton, said that the cladding is advantageous as it is a dry fixing system, which is the preferred method by architects and contractors, since it doesn’t involve concrete or other ‘wet’ fixing materials.
This also means it is twice as fast to install as other methods.
Furthermore, as the system is ventilated, through the presence of a 3cm gap between the building and cladding, it helps the building’s cooling loads.
Matos added that he is at the Big 5 to look for an agent who will push this new form of cladding locally.
“I can review what is going on from Spain, but it is very hard to push this unless we have a local presence,” he said.
