Thermoash facade finishing

The task on this project was to install an insulated ventilated facade with a finish of thermally treated ash wood. The load-bearing walls are made of ceramic bricks - Porotherm, which is very popular for building external walls nowadays. Next, the wall was plastered. This step is not necessary for a ventilated facade, but it was the customer's request in this case.


    


Next, we install the load-bearing brackets according to the pre-designed project. The calculation of the brackets takes into account the weight of the finishing material - thermoash wood, as well as wind effects. Since the material of the load-bearing walls in this case is porous, hollow material, we use chemical anchors for anchoring. After installing the brackets, we install the insulation.

   


After installing the insulation, we proceed to the installation of guides. Since the finish plank is made of thermally treated wood and needs to be installed vertically, we install the guides in two layers - the first one vertically, and the second one horizontally. Installing guides in the designated planes is a very important stage of work. The planes and angles set by the guides will be completely transferred to the next plane made of thermally treated wood.


   


The next stage is the installation of the thermoash wood plank. Since the walls of the building are straight and large enough, the architect decided to alternate the boards of thermoash wood with copper inserts. The width of the copper inserts is the same as that of the thermoash wood plank. We use a hidden Gwozdeck fastener.


    


TWOOD produces the thermoash wood plank in our own production facilities. Before installation, the plank undergoes a protective coating procedure, which includes sanding and painting with colored protective oil. Coating the thermally treated wood plank for outdoor use is mandatory.
