In the modern market of facing materials, there are many options for finishing the facades. Thanks to this, the consumer can give his home an exclusive appearance and emphasize the features of its design. So, to make the house more cozy and pretty you can use facade plaster, and to emphasize prestige and wealth - red brick or ragged stone. But what material should be used for office buildings that have a laconic, rigorous appearance? Here, the front metal cassettes will be relevant. They perfectly fit into the design of commercial and industrial designs, and at the same time perform a protective function well.
Main characteristics
First, let's try to understand the concept of "front cassette". What it is? Metal cassette is a facing material used for upholstering industrial buildings. It consists of a steel sheet cut off from four sides, which does not have standard parameters. The configuration and dimensions of metal cassettes are selected personally for the requirements of the building site, taking into account engineering and architectural features. It should be noted that in the process of fastening the product, the integrity of the lining is not impaired, since for fastening a screw or rivet is used.
Benefits
Steel facade cassettes have a number of advantages that make them indispensable qualities when decorating large-sized construction projects. They have the following advantages:
- fast and easy to attach;
- allow you to hide uneven walls;
- resistant to precipitation and temperature changes;
- Galvanized steel protects the cassettes from corrosion;
- thanks to the use of polymer coatings, the product can be made in any color;
- do not need repair and regular painting;
- have special technological holes for drainage of condensate.
The main disadvantage of aluminum façade cassettes is their high cost. They are the most expensive of all existing finishing materials, but given their properties, the price is justified. A small disadvantage is the fact that additional elements (antennas, banners, protective screens) can not be attached to such facades, and the drainage bends need to be fastened to a special bearing system.
Fastening of facade cassettes
There are two ways of mounting metal cassettes: with an external and an open fastening. Cassettes with external fastening are mounted with screws that are on the surface of the structure. In this case, the fastening elements are not hidden from the eyes and are painted in the main color of the structure. Facade cassettes with concealed fastening are installed from the bottom to the top, by means of the hook of the upper bar over the bottom. This construction has a homogeneous structure.
Design solutions
Using metal cassettes, you can create a high-tech modular façade that perfectly fits into the style of a large metropolis. The characteristic metallic gloss in combination with a variety of color solutions makes this material indispensable for finishing large rooms. So, the office building finished with cassettes of light gray color looks strictly and prestigious, but it is necessary to dilute the main color with green or blue impregnations, as the design becomes more vivid and expressive. Despite the fact that manufacturers are able to recreate almost all colors, the most popular are the classic shades (beige, black, dark gray, brown). But customers always have the opportunity to order other non-standard color solutions.
