Building facades are one of the largest, most important elements in the overall aesthetic and technical performance of a building. Façade Engineering is the art and science of resolving aesthetic, environmental and structural issues to achieve the effective enclosure of buildings.
Specialist companies are dedicated to this niche sector of the building industry and engineers operate within technical divisions of façade manufacturing companies. Generally, façade engineers are specifically qualified in the discipline of façade engineering and consultants work with the design team on construction projects for architects, building owners, construction managers and product manufacturers.
Façade engineers must consider aspects such as the design, certification, fabrication and installation of the building facades with regards to the performance of materials, aesthetic appearance, structural behaviour, weathertightness, safety and serviceability, security, maintenance and build ability.
The skill set will include matters such as computational fluid dynamics, heat transfer through two- and three-dimensional constructions, the behaviour of materials, manufacturing methodologies,structural engineering and logistics.
Over time, the specialist skills necessary in this niche sector have surpassed the capabilities of architects, structural andmechanical engineers as buildings are designed with more complexity and with the introduction of Building Information Modelling (BIM).
Building facades are considered to be one of the most expensive and potentially the highest risk element of any major project. Historically building facades have the greatest level of failure of any part of a building fabric and the pressure for change and adaptation due to environmental and energy performance needs is greater than any other element of a building. As a consequence façade engineering has become a science in its own right.
HPL Exterior cladding is the best choice of current times. It is weather resistant and has a very high aesthetic value. It is the choice of masses. Samrat HPL exterior cladding provides 10 years warranty for no colour fading. Samrat HPL Exterior cladding is also CE approved quality. Thus, Samrat Cladage is the best choice as the building facade materials.
