Discover Florim’s high-performance facades
THE ADVANTAGES OF FACADES WITH FLORIM STONEWARE
Ventilated facades are high-end performance solutions for exterior cladding. The assembly not only allows to create an air gap between the substrate and the skin of the building to improve thermal performance and water resistance, but it also provides many more advantages thanks to the properties of porcelain slabs, available in many sizes up to 63''x126''.
