Plycem TEK Facades is a system based on fiber-cement façade boards with geometric modularity, developed to create a functional and decorative skin to the exterior walls in commercial, institutional or residential buildings.
Additionally to the aesthetic aspects demanded in this type of jobs, the TEK Facades satisfy the requisites that arise in regard to thermal and acoustical insulation and leveling. Such aspects are simple to attain due to simplicity in the installation. The mechanical joints and the protruding modular shapes turn the installation into a simple step.
To the quality already known of the Plycem fiber-cement products, an important work in research and development can be added to provide space for the new concept of façades that offer the added value of easy assembly, factory-made perforations for fasteners and the possibility to add textures and color for finishing.
Tek Facades with open joints:
This type of facades is provided with open joints that allow free passage of water and wind. A functional curtain wall is required to accomplish the requisite of impermeability. Its modularity allow for multiple possibilities of design in decorative walls. The Tek Facades with open joints are available in a wide range of integral colors such as natural grey (appearance of exposed concrete), terracotta and others.
Tek Facades with mechanical joints:
The facades with mechanical joints have been designed to be used as functional walls or as decorative facades. The tongue and groove joints avoid dust, water and wind passage, and also eliminate the use of caulking compounds and adhesives. The eight modular units available are compatible among them, a feature that allows for versatile and modern designs, with visible joints. The Tek Facades with mechanical joints are available with the following finishings: graphite integral color, natural grey (appearance of exposed concrete) or painted
