Our attention to the environment

Buildings are the largest contributor to global CO2 emissions, consuming around 40% of total energy and contributing 30% of greenhouse gas emissions .

To address the climate emergency, it is essential to optimize the energy performance of buildings, drastically reducing consumption and environmental impact.

Photoactive ventilated facades

Bioactive technologies - an added value for people, buildings and cities

Photoactive facade technology is sintered onto the ceramic surface at extremely high temperatures. When exposed to light, these ceramic panels produce active oxygen through a photocatalytic process, eliminating bacteria and mold. They also naturally reduce airborne pollutants.

Being also hydrophilic, dirt and grease do not settle on surfaces . This innovative technology is based on the hot application of Titanium Dioxide, ensuring strong adhesion to surfaces and effective properties that remain constant over time.

Titanium dioxide triggers photocatalysis without being consumed over time. Accelerated aging studies simulating natural environmental degradation have confirmed that the treatment maintains its performance unchanged for up to 50 years of outdoor exposure.

A façade made with photoactive ceramic panels is part of a careful environmental design approach, including the use of thermal and acoustic insulation, alternative energy sources, and eco-friendly materials. This gives the building a green edge, employing a new generation of materials that interact with the environment, enhancing the property's appeal and commercial value.

Each of our jobs is preceded by a laser scanner survey.

The laser scanner is an instrument that measures the exact position of thousands of points at very high speed.

These determine the surface of the surrounding objects. From this particular and unique relief, a very dense set of points is obtained, which is called a "point cloud" .
