What are decorative panels and how can they transform a space?

They are coverings that add style and character to any surface, transforming spaces with innovative textures, colors, and patterns.

What is the difference between a covering and a decorative panel?

A covering is a material that covers and protects surfaces, while a decorative panel adds an additional aesthetic element.

What types of coverings are ideal for kitchen walls?

Ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone coverings are ideal for their durability and ease of cleaning.

How do I choose the best countertop for my kitchen in terms of durability and aesthetics?

Consider materials such as quartz, granite, or marble, which offer resistance, durability, and an elegant aesthetic finish.

How should I maintain and clean marble countertops to keep them in perfect condition?

Clean with water and mild soap, avoid acidic products, and seal regularly to protect the surface.

What factors should I consider when choosing coverings for a kitchen wall?

Moisture resistance, ease of cleaning, durability, and consistency with the overall style of the kitchen.

What benefits do marble-effect decorative panels offer compared to natural marble?

They are more affordable, lighter, easier to install and maintain, with a very similar appearance to natural marble.

What advantages does wall covering with a wood effect have compared to real wood?

It provides the aesthetic of wood with greater moisture resistance, less maintenance, and higher durability.

How can I combine decorative panels with other interior design elements in my home?

Play with contrasts in colors and textures, combining the panels with furniture and accessories that complement the design.

What are the best covering options for high-traffic areas like the kitchen?

Porcelain and ceramic coverings are ideal due to their high resistance and easy maintenance.

How do decorative panels affect the design and functionality of a kitchen space?

They add style and personality, enhancing aesthetics without compromising functionality if the right materials are chosen.

What alternatives are there to marble countertops for those seeking a similar finish but at a lower cost?

Quartz, porcelain surfaces, and marble-effect panels are excellent alternatives.

Are marble-effect decorative panels suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, they are moisture-resistant and offer an elegant appearance, ideal for bathrooms.

Is wood-effect wall covering resistant to moisture?

Yes, especially if made from materials like porcelain or vinyl, designed to withstand moisture.

How can decorative panels enhance the interior design of a modern space?

They add textures and patterns that bring dynamism and depth, complementing a modern and sophisticated style.

Sustainable solutions

VENTILATED FACADES

At Ascale, we redefine exterior architecture with our ventilated facades made of sintered stone. This construction system, based on a double skin separated by an air chamber, optimizes the building’s energy performance, improves interior comfort, and enhances the aesthetic value of any project.

We manufacture lightweight, durable, and sustainable surfaces, with large-format panels and multiple finishes. Thanks to sintering technology and the use of 100% natural minerals, our panels offer exceptional durability, resistance to UV rays, moisture, fire, and frost, without sacrificing a contemporary and customizable design.

The ventilated facade acts as a protective barrier against external agents, reduces thermal bridges, and facilitates natural ventilation, decreasing moisture buildup and improving indoor air quality.

With multiple fixing systems (hidden, visible, mechanical, or chemical), we guarantee a safe, fast, and highly precise installation.

Transform your facades into a statement of design, efficiency, and sustainability that lasts over time.

ADVANTAGES OF VENTILATED FACADES

1. Permeability

Air circulation promotes the release of water vapor from the inside to the outside, allowing the facade to "breathe" and preventing condensation buildup behind the panels. This will occur as long as a waterproof and breathable membrane is used.

2. Thermal insulation

By placing the insulation on the exterior of the structure, thermal bridges are eliminated, reducing temperature variations inside the building. This can result in energy savings that, in some cases, reach between 20% and 40%.

3. Solar protection

Facades help maintain comfortable thermal conditions by preventing overheating during the summer, acting as a barrier against direct solar radiation and other external factors.

4. Acoustic insulation

Being composed of multiple layers, the ventilated facade offers a higher level of sound absorption, which largely depends on the type of insulating material used.

5. Waterproofing

The air chamber creates a chimney effect that provides additional protection through air pressure, preventing water infiltration and safeguarding the building structure.

FAQs

What is a ventilated facade?

It is a construction system composed of an inner layer (support wall), an insulating layer, and an outer layer separated by a ventilated air chamber, which improves the building’s thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, and durability.

Can it be installed on any type of building?

Yes. Ventilated facades are versatile and adapt to residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.

What maintenance does it require?

Minimal. The materials used are resistant to the passage of time and environmental conditions, and do not require special treatments.

Is it a sustainable solution?

Yes. By improving the building’s energy efficiency, it reduces heating and cooling consumption, contributing to environmental care.

What fixing systems are available for ventilated facades?

• Hidden mechanical fixing (slotted or with clips)
• Visible fixing with lacquered clips
• Chemical fixing with structural adhesives
• Mixed systems (mechanical + chemical)
• Bonded facades with hidden anchors
