Ventilated facades
Ventilated facades are becoming an increasingly popular choice for both commercial and residential buildings due to their many benefits, including energy efficiency, durability, aesthetic value, and sound insulation.
Akmi will implement your ventilated facade idea in Lithuania or abroad. The company has skilled craftsmen and technical capabilities for the successful implementation of the project.
What is a ventilated facade?
Ventilated facade - facade decoration with an air gap between the insulation layer and the facade decoration. This gap is open from the bottom of the facade to the top and naturally ventilates the facade.

Stone facades for commercial buildings
Ventilated facades have continued to gain popularity in the construction sector over the past few years, especially to update the appearance of worn-out buildings. The advantages of a ventilated facade include: improved energy efficiency of the building, easy maintenance, durability and economical construction costs.
Since ancient times, the most commonly used material (especially during reconstruction) is natural stone, because it is non-combustible, durable and creates a representative appearance. Due to the demand for ventilated facades, several other materials for exterior decoration have appeared, such as Laminam, Lapitec, Dekton.
When choosing a material for facade decoration, the AKMI team evaluates the requirements based on the building's location: frost resistance, freezing/thawing cycles, UV rays, air salinity, etc., and advises which stone is most suitable for your situation.
Stone facades for private buildings
Individual buildings with a ventilated facade are of exceptional architecture and undoubtedly create comfortable living conditions. A high-quality ventilated facade is easy to maintain and maintains the value of the building for many years.
When choosing ventilated facade solutions, your architects are empowered to create clean shapes and lines typical of modern minimalist design architecture. Complex compositions of architectural elements typical of classical style architecture are also possible.
Advantages of a ventilated facade made of natural stone
Your real estate equipped with a ventilated facade made of natural stone not only gains great advantages, but also meets all technical and aesthetic functional requirements.
1. Improves energy consumption 20-30%
A ventilated facade system using natural stone is particularly effective because it ensures proper air circulation between the facade and the interior wall of the building. This helps to reduce heat loss and improves the energy efficiency of the building. It is estimated that a natural stone ventilated facade saves at least 20-30% energy. The ventilation effect also helps reduce moisture accumulation, condensation, and the appearance of mold and fungus in the interior spaces of the building.
2. Natural stone is durable and strong
Natural stone is durable and resistant to environmental conditions. It can withstand temperature changes, ultraviolet radiation, rain, snow and other atmospheric factors. Therefore, a ventilated facade can serve for a long time without significant changes.
3. Sound insulation and acoustic control
A ventilated facade acts as a sound barrier. It can reduce sound transmission and suppress sound transmission from outside to inside and vice versa. This solution is perfect if you want to avoid external sounds, such as traffic and street noise.
By properly selecting the facade layers and air gap, the desired level of sound insulation or sound absorption can be achieved, ensuring proper acoustics and sound control in the premises.
4. Creating unique and aesthetically appealing architecture
Colors allow for a variety of facade design and style options, tailored to any building architecture. For example, granite or limestone tiles are quite popular. There are many types of natural stone on the market with timeless colors and textures.
5. Fireproof
Natural stone is installed with non-combustible materials. Natural stone is non-combustible and can help reduce the risk of fire spreading within a building. This serves as an additional fire safety measure for the building.
