The trend of having a striking and innovative façade, but above all using materials friendly to the environment, is imposed at a global level. Nowadays the alternatives have increased and varied, textures, colors, designs, contrasts and materials, a range of possibilities that can be combined to be authentic.
One of the factors that most interests engineers, architects and building managers is, in addition to aesthetics, opting for elements that optimize the technical and operational behavior of the building.
According to experts in the field of construction, the design of a façade depends exclusively on the objective of the building, whether residential, commercial, institutional or industrial. It is also important to take into account factors such as geographical location, façade layout and climatic effects.
For David Viveros, general manager of the company Arkos, the façade is a matter of care because it is "the skin of the building". Factors such as ventilation, humidity, temperature, acoustics, etc. must be taken into account.
The latest developments in materials come with advantages of all kinds, from the anti-graffiti facades, the wood, the anti-scratches, the self-cleaning and, the most requested, those that require little maintenance.
