Dekprofile for architect

The call of architects has always been a combination of practicality and originality. The most distinctive part of any architectural work is its façade, through which the building speaks to its surroundings and defines its entire character.


In modern architecture, ventilated façades (definition in the infobox) are highly popular, offering many functional and aesthetic advantages. In recent years, these façades have undergone a significant transformation. With a wide selection of colors, surface materials, and a variety of shapes of visible elements, countless possibilities for creating an original façade are available.

The company DEKMETAL is introducing a truly exceptional product that will provide relief to ventilated façades and impart the much-demanded originality in today's era. A ventilated façade doesn't have to be defined solely by a smooth panel; it can have its own shape, extending into space, and possess its own definition.

The new product line from Dekmetal is based on classic profiled sheets, utilizing all their advantages and innovating them into the modern architecture of the 21st century. DEKPROFILE FOR ARCHITECT from DEKMETAL offers architects the opportunity to create entirely unique curved profiles that will be distinctive for a specific building. The basic range of profiles is naturally available for personalization as well.

A ventilated façade is characterized by a continuous vented gap that is created between the thermal insulation of the load-bearing structure and the visible elements. The airflow in the vented gap creates a chimney effect, which contributes to a better climate inside the building, significantly reduces the condensation of water vapor in the structure of the outer wall, and thus the potential risk of mold growth. Main advantages: Longer lifespan of the façade compared to contact insulation systems Maintenance-free system, option for local repairs Easy leveling of uneven substrate construction Healthier indoor climate in both winter and summer Better acoustic conditions in the interior The façade system is completely non-flammable The installation process is performed dry. No wet processes

One profile, many possibilities

Dekprofile for architect offers 6 basic types of profiles with personalization options. It is very simple to adjust the size or length of folds, angles of folds, and lengths of straight transitions. This creates an entirely new profile precisely according to the investor's or architect's requirements. However, the options for modifications are even greater.

3D PROFILES	PERFORATION	BENT WAVES
Since the left and right sides of the profile do not have to be identical (for example, the height or length of the fold on both sides can be different), striking 3D profiles can be created that enhance the spatial quality of the cladding even more.	Profiles from Dekprofile for architect can also be equipped with basic perforation (simple regularly repeating geometric patterns). With the right architectural design, even basic perforation can serve as a fundamental supporting element in the façade design. Basic perforation can also be used for practical solutions such as covering various ventilation windows, shafts, air conditioning vents, etc.	Dekprofile for architect can create atypical wave cross-sections of profiles through bending. The size of these waves can vary and can symbolize sea levels, curtains, or drapes, thus completely deviating from a typical technical aspect towards more natural motifs. When combined with perforation and possible backlighting, you can create a completely unique object.

Colors and materials The basic material consists of painted galvanized or aluminum sheets. Galvanized sheets S280-320GD ZM140 (alternatively Z275 or AZ150) are coated with a polyester (SP), PVDF, or polyurethane (PU) paint with a thickness of 25 - 60 microns (depending on the chosen type of surface treatment) in glossy, matte, and textured variants. Specific surface finishes and decors, such as wood or stone imitation, various degrees of copper patina, or TiZn, can also be supplied upon request. Additionally, metallic colors, crystallinely changing colors, or weather-resistant steel commonly known as Corten can be delivered. Production from non-ferrous sheets (TiZn, Cu) is also possible, supplied in natural, painted, or pre-weathered finishes. These treatments give the façade panels a very specific and unmistakable appearance. The basic color chart can be found here (https://dekmetal.cz/aktuality/vzornik)
