Intelligent and unique, that is AVT Formatura cladding. This product is a smart choice if you want a sustainable facade. You can regulate the incident sunlight and control of the wind. In addition, you are assured that you are creating a masterpiece of a facade with AVT Formatura. It seems like you have a different facade every time you look at it.
AVT Formatura offers so many possibilities that we can use it to create the most extraordinary designs. The variable apertures in the AVT Formatura panels can act as a wind break or control the entry of sunlight. Apertures are put in the optimum position, depending on how the sun moves across the building. The coating can be adjusted to reduce reflection towards the inside.
Type 1 consists of panels punched with one type of figure. The punch can be made in any shape. The shapes created by punching are converted into a fixed setting angle.
Type 2 uses a single figure, which can be made in any desired shape. The shapes can be bent in multiple setting angles. This version provides the ability to control the indoor climate by slowing down wind and controlling the entry of sunlight.
In type 3, a variety of shapes are stamped into the material with several figures. By playing with the setting angle of the individual parts, a facade is created with a unique character. By considering the position of the sun in relation to the facade in the setting angle, this version can also function as sun protection. On the facade parts where the wind load is high, the twisted parts can be positioned to slow down the wind.
The finishing of the material is determined by the location of a project, the likely weather effects and the vision of the designer. It is possible to powder coat, anodize or galvanize AVT Formatura. Therefore, the panels are protected against corrosion, wastage and chemical damage. And of course, it determines the final appearance of a building.
For our projects, we supply AVT Formatura in aluminum, steel and corten steel.
Aluminum
Aluminum has many advantages. They are:
Steel
Steel is the best choice for heavy construction projects, such as fences in school areas or crowded public places. It is also ideal for other structures that require high durability. Steel is more rigid and therefore stronger.
Corten steel
Corten, or weather-resistant steel, is an alloy of copper and chrome. This gives a higher level of resistance to atmospheric weathering compared to other unalloyed steel panels.
The alloy creates an oxidized 'rust look' layer that actually protects the panels when exposed to the elements. The protective layer of corten also continues to evolve and responds to pollutants in the atmosphere over time.
Corten steel is harder than steel or aluminum, which makes processing more expensive. However, it does mean that this type of steel requires no further surface treatment, which can mean a significant overall cost reduction.
It is also possible to achieve a corten steel 'look' with powder coated aluminum. With this method colours are mixed and layered to match the required corten colour.
