The Importance of a Preliminary Technical Study in Rainscreen Ventilated Facade Projects
When we talk about rainscreen ventilated facades, we often think only of the cladding or final finish. However, the real performance of the system —its durability, safety, and efficiency— starts much earlier, in the technical study phase.
At Strow Sistemas, we have a specialized technical department that carries out detailed studies for each project before manufacturing and supplying the anchoring system.
Why is this phase so important?
1. System adaptation to the actual project
Every building is different: structure, geometry, wind loads, substrate type, cladding size and weight…
That’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all anchoring solution. A proper technical study allows us to select or design the most suitable system for each case.
2. Layout on plans: precision from the start
Before selecting any components, we carry out a layout of the system directly on the project plans. This includes:
-
Axis and cladding panel breakdown analysis
-
Bracket and profile distribution
-
Compatibility with the selected cladding
-
Review of joints, openings, and terminations
This work helps prevent installation errors, improvisation on-site, and wasted time.
3. Structural calculations and technical documentation
Our team can prepare structural calculations and technical documentation as required by the project. This may include:
-
Load and anchor justification
-
Selection of fixings and accessory elements
-
Information needed for site supervision, certifications, or quality control
4. Manufacturing and supply
With the prior study completed, we select the most efficient system or components for the project, manufacture custom pieces when necessary, and deliver everything organized and ready to install.
This results in:
-
Reduced material waste and fewer errors
-
Faster installation times
-
Better control and on-site efficiency
The technical study is not just a step — it’s a guarantee.
It ensures the system performs as intended, optimizes resources, and delivers a high-quality final result.
