VELFAC panels
Some panels also offer specific properties, like increased ventilation or privacy, and are available in different materials.
They are especially suitable for concealing floor slabs and other internal structures, or areas behind the facade, and can also be specified with solar glass to reduce the amount of sunlight into the building.
Each panel is made to measure and can be manufactured specifically on your taste and needs.

VENTILATED PANEL
The ventilated panel consists of a frame and sash, which contains a non-vision panel board or opaque toughened glass externally, and a 9 mm plaster panel internally.
There is free ventilation between the two panels. The panel can be supplied with or without a separate internal backboard with vapour barrier, which can be specified with a veneer or paint finish.

LOOK-ALIKE PANELS (shadow-box)
Panels incorporate clear or solar glass on the front of the double-glazed unit, and enamel glass at the back, can be supplied where a glass look-alike panel is required. These can be specified to allow insulation with a backboard or without should the detail require.
RAINSCREEN PANEL
VELFAC Rainscreen panels offer architects the means of creating complete facades. Each panel comprises of a fully formed aluminium sheet mounted onto a VELFAC 200 frame, (although the aluminium panel can be supplied as a single item if a specific situation dictates). This means that windows and panels can be coupled together to create entire facades.
NON-VENTILATED PANEL
Panels incorporating Cedar or Rockpanel can be used to create facades with a distinct colour and texture. The construction consists of either a Rockpanel or a diffusion-open, waterproof plywood panel, cladded with Western Redwood Cedar slats which are glued and invisibly screwed to the plywood. Western Redwood Cedar is supplied untreated and naturally weathers over a period of time.
SANDWICH PANEL
The sandwich panel is formed by two aluminium or laminated
board faces, bonded to a rigid insulation core. Sandwich panels can also be used to fill the lower sections of doors.
LOUVRE PANEL
A louvre can be used in a fixed VELFAC 200 System panel or an opening VELFAC 500 System door to allow ventilation to a room or space behind e.g. computer server rooms or refuse stores. All louvres are supplied with flymesh.
The louvre is incorporated within a sash in a similar way to a double-glazed unit, maintaining the sightlines. VELFAC louvre panels can be specified in 3 different ways:
The louvre is incorporated within a sash in a similar way to a double-glazed unit, maintaining the sightlines. VELFAC louvre panels can be specified in 3 different ways:
- without any internal boarding to allow permanent, open ventilation
- with a single piece of fibre cement board to allow machining for mechanical ventilation or ducting
- with a single piece of fibre cement board and a separate internal backboard with vapour barrier, which can be supplied with a veneer or paint finish. This allows the fitting of insulation and machining for mechanical ventilation or ducting.
The ventilated, non-ventilated and rainscreen panels can be supplied with a separate internal backboard, which can be specified with a veneer or paint finish. Each panel can also accommodate insulation which is sourced from another supplier and fitted during installation.
