Polycarbonate Facades

Polycarbonate Facades

Polycarbonate façade assembly in Barcelona
At Cover Industrial we recommend polyurethane façade assemblies in Barcelona for different reasons:
- Light Transmission
• Longitudinal overlap and transverse overlap
- Thermal insulation
• Solar factor
- Lightning resistance
- Translucent material
- Fire classification BS1d0

If you are looking for a polycarbonate façade assembly in Barcelona for your new project, at Cover Industrial we have a wide range of services to offer you.
At Cover Industrial we would like to inform you on a small scale about polycarbonate facades and possible doubts you may have.
The polycarbonate facades we are going to talk about can be built in a very versatile way and therefore we can achieve very good aesthetic results.
What is a façade?
A façade is the outer face of a building, usually referring to the front part, where the construction is expressed through architectural design. The functions of the façade, taking into account the aesthetic function, are to insulate the interior thermally and acoustically, and also to be impermeable to water.
Composition of our polycarbonate façades in Barcelona
Our Polycarbonate facades can be fully or partially insulated.
Our Polycarbonate is translucent, cellular, UV protected and has a bS1d0 fire rating.
As it is translucent, it allows sunlight to pass through, which means that natural light can be obtained inside the building.
Thanks to its protection against U.V. rays, the reflected light protects people against possible dermatological diseases such as skin cancer.
With regard to the classification of the material of our polycarbonate panel facades against fire we observe that it is classified with the code BS1d0. This code has a meaning which we will explain in the following way:
The first letter indicates the reaction to fire of the material in terms of flammability in this case is B, which refers to a fire caused by a combustible material, with very limited contribution to the fire.
Regarding the letter and number S1 it refers to the degree of opacity of the smoke, these are classified in 3 degrees S1, S2 and S3, in this case it is S1 and that means that the smoke emission and the speed at which the smoke particles are spread is very low, however if it is S3 they are spread very fast which would be worse.
Regarding the code d0 refers to the droplets or particles that release the material that is burned, in this case since d0 there is no droplet that will be released in case of burning the polyurethane, in case it is for example d2 if drops would be released that being in contact with people would burn the skin.
Finally, it should be noted that the materials used are thermal insulators.
At Cover Industrial we have committed professionals and years of experience in the sector.
We have a technical department that is responsible for all the points of the project.
We have the most innovative machinery in the sector for the installation and assembly of polycarbonate façades in Barcelona.
Our projects follow rigorous quality controls endorsed by a certifying company.
