Exterior Cladding Innovation: Rainscreen with Ultracompact Surfacing

AIA Santa Barbara

AIA Santa Barbara Chapter House

1﻿ LU/HSWI﻿n-Person @ AIA SB Chapter HouseL﻿unch Included!Modern construction has come to understand that a façade, as part of an overall building envelope, is not only a visual statement, but also an important influencer in the protection of a wall’s structural components, the energy efficiency of the building, and the health of its occupants. This course explores a unique surfacing material known as ultracompact surfacing (UCS) and evaluates its mechanical properties, technical characteristics, and aesthetics to illustrate its endless design potential in exterior cladding, façade, and rainscreen applicationsLEARNING OBJECTIVES1. Define ultracompact surfacing and discuss the innovative production process that creates stone-like properties which contribute to project longevity and lower maintenance2. Learn about innovative manufacturing strategies to reduce carbon footprint and how ultracompact surface sets itself apart from other surfacing material3. Identify the traits and advantages of ultracompact surfaces in terms of strength, durability, UV resistance, absorption rates, abrasion resistance, and ASTM testing4. Discuss proper rainscreen design and installation using ultracompact surfacing material.By attending this event you are giving AIASB permission to take your photos and post on our website, emails and social media.
