A steel cassette façade has become a popular application in office buildings and other commercial buildings. In addition to block walls it can be applied on concrete walls, brick walls and of course on steel frames as well. The insulation application is basically the same. When designing a steel cassette façade on steel frame walls, see the special instructions about moisture and air tightness.
The lightweight blocks themselves have good thermal properties. However it is often more economical to use thinner blocks and cover the thermal insulation requirements by insulation – if it is possible in terms of the mechanical requirements. The use of fully-covering insulation between the steel cassettes and the supporting frame breaks down cold bridges effectively.
Profiles and the steel façade system are mounted in accordance with the system providers' instructions. The fastening system should be designed so that it leads water outside the wall.
