Mascara Ventilated Facades
The Science of Ventilated Façades
​
The science behind this type of façade system goes all the way to the Scandinavian countries, where the need to maintain buildings warm during winters and cool during summers was paramount. In tropical countries, it proves to be a tough barrier against rain, dust, and heat.
​
This façade is made from eco-friendly materials and is installed 70–100 mm away from the external face of the building. It consists of adequate vents in between at desired intervals. The air in the cavity between the façade skin warms up when the exposed panel gets heated due to the sunrays. The air in the cavity thus begins piling up upwards. This phenomenon is called the Stack Effect. The warm air moving upwards is allowed to be released from the top. The vents in the façade then allow fresh air to enter the cavity.
​
This continuous process happens naturally and creates a dynamic air current between the façade and the external wall surface. The current of air in the cavity reduces thermal bridging and sound contamination. It regulates temperature and keeps the interiors free from dampness.
