Ventilated Facades in Eco-Friendly Fiber Cement

Eco-friendly fiber cement is one of the most versatile and durable solutions for modern building envelopes. At VM Group Srl, with over 30 years of experience, we use high-quality panels (such as Equitone) to ensure fireproof, lightweight, and durable façades. From healthcare facilities like Crema Hospital to school buildings in the historic center, we take care of every detail: from laser cutting the panels to choosing the fastening system—exposed or concealed—for an aesthetically and technically excellent result.

Integrazione Storica e Modernità: L’Involucro in Fibrocemento Equitone

In the heart of Città della Pieve, VM Group oversaw the construction of approximately 800 square meters of ventilated façade for the "P. Vannucci" State Middle School. The main challenge was respecting the historical context: we used Equitone fiber cement panels in completely customized colors and sizes, designed to integrate with the Umbrian urban fabric and faithfully reflect the architectural design.
The exposed fastening system with stainless steel rivets was installed with the precision that comes from our thirty years of experience, ensuring a geometric texture that enriches the façade without weighing it down. Beyond the aesthetic result, the project ensures a drastic improvement in internal thermal comfort and maximum safety for students, thanks also to the integration of the essential Siderise fire barriers.

Ospedale di Crema – Efficienza e Sicurezza su Grande Scala

1.500 mq di Innovazione: L'Involucro in Fibrocemento per la Sanità

Presso l'Ospedale di Crema, VM Group ha completato un'imponente opera di riqualificazione tecnica, realizzando oltre 1.500 mq di facciata ventilata in fibrocemento. In un contesto ospedaliero, la scelta dei materiali è cruciale: il fibrocemento garantisce un'elevata resistenza al fuoco, durabilità e una manutenzione minima, requisiti essenziali per edifici di pubblica utilità.

L'installazione è stata eseguita con un sistema di fissaggio meccanico tramite rivetti a vista verniciati in tinta RAL, coordinati cromaticamente alle lastre per assicurare un impatto visivo sobrio e ordinato. Grazie alla nostra esperienza trentennale, abbiamo gestito la posa su ampie superfici garantendo la perfetta planarità dell'involucro e l'integrazione delle barriere tagliafuoco, trasformando l'ospedale in una struttura energeticamente efficiente e sicura per pazienti e personale.

Pieve Emanuele Residential Complex (MI)

Urban Evolution: 3,000 m2 of Fibre Cement Envelope

In Pieve Emanuele, VM Group completed one of its largest residential projects, creating over 3,000 square meters of ventilated façade. The choice of fiber cement with exposed rivet fastening (in matching RAL colors) meets the need to combine a modern, rigorous aesthetic with extreme durability.
This project is not just an aesthetic upgrade, but a significant improvement in the energy efficiency of the entire complex. Thanks to the ventilation chamber and continuous insulation, we have guaranteed residents superior living comfort and a drastic reduction in energy consumption. Managing a construction site of this scale demonstrates VM Group's expertise in coordinating large volumes, always ensuring maximum safety with the integration of fire barriers.

Morellino di Scansano Winery (GR)
Wine Architecture: Functionality and Prestige in Fiber Cement

In the heart of the Maremma region of Tuscany, VM Group oversaw the cladding for the historic Cantina del Morellino di Scansano. The project, covering approximately 400 square meters, involved the construction of a ventilated fiber cement façade with a mechanical fastening system using exposed rivets.
In a place where temperature control is essential for product preservation, the ventilated façade offers a cutting-edge technical solution: the thermal shield created by the air cavity protects the interior from summer temperature fluctuations, ensuring a stable microclimate. With our thirty years of experience, we have successfully combined the industrial needs of a large winery with a sober, material aesthetic that blends in with the surrounding landscape without overpowering it.
