In what type of buildings can they be applied?

Our systems can be adapted to any type of building and structure: factory walls, concrete, wood, and even glass or ventilated façades.

What design options does Kriskadecor's cladding system provide?

Kriskadecor Outdoor chains provide a new concept in the outdoors cladding field to embellish buildings and grant them personality. They offer infinite architectural adaptation possibilities, as well as design finishes to cover and decorate façades using colours to reproduce patterns, logos, and high-definition images.

The use of our aluminium chains is a versatile, sustainable, easily installed and easily maintained cladding solution for innovative professionals who wish to combine design and durability.

What resolution can I obtain when reproducing an image?

The resolution will depend on the surface or façade available to reproduce the image. The larger the structure, the more details we can reproduce with our extensive colour palette, and the better the resolution.

Can I create volumes and shapes?

Thanks to the size and movement versatility of Kriskadecor Outdoor chain links, we can create surprising compositions. Each project is unique. We can employ curved, undulated shapes with organic movement, or even volumes, to obtain astonishing geometries.

What colours can I use?

We have a wide palette of 65 RAL colours tested under sun exposure, in addition to anodised silver colour in a brilliant and satin finish, which is also valid for outdoor use. We test new colours periodically.

Can this cladding system be used to cover buildings at any kind of location?

We can cover façades anywhere around the world, as long as we previously evaluate the circumstances.

What are the minimum and maximum dimensions to cover a façade?

Infinite. For specific information on each system, please consult the relevant data sheets.

Which system is suitable for building rehabilitation?

All systems are suitable for renovating buildings thanks to their lightness and ease of installation. They are ideal for covering aged facades or with exposed installations.

Is there a predetermined fixing system?

Kriskadecor Outdoor offers a standard wall-fixing system. Our technical department can design special fixings for specific projects. Our team of experts will provide support throughout the process.

Can it be used as solar protection?

Our systems help reduce the incidence of solar energy. In addition, we offer customised studies according to the specific characteristics of each project.

Does it prevent light from shining through? What is the view from the inside like?

From the outside, Kriskadecor Outdoor cladding system seems like a solid surface. From the inside, the chain links' transparency allows total visibility while filtering the light, creating interesting shadows. In fact, the evolution of circadian lighting influences the chromatic effects, creating shadows that evolve throughout the day and boost the user's well-being.

What fire-resistance certification do we have available?

1. . Class A in ASTM E84: Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials.
2. . Class B s1 d0 in UNE-EN 13501-1:2019 reaction to fire. Classification according to the fire performance of construction products and building elements.

How do systems respond in a marine environment?

The systems fulfil all the requirements for the application in humid environments, such as those close to the sea. We hold two certificates for corrosion according to UNE standards:

• Static humidity test. 1,000 h according to ISO 6270-2 guidelines.
• Resistance to acetic salt spray test. 1,000 h according to ISO 9227 guidelines.

In addition, Qualicoat or, if necessary, Qualamarine certificates can be provided for the profiles.

Does the chain colour withstand solar exposure?

Our Outdoor palette has been tested with 10,000 hours of solar exposure, according to an adaptation of UNE-EN ISO 11341:2005 standards.

The perceived tone variations were minimal, and the colour remained stable. Seals of quality certify stability through 1,000 or 2,000 hour-long tests. Therefore, our results are even more satisfactory.

How do Kriskadecor systems react to wind?

The impact of the wind is a relevant aspect to consider since our cladding system with chains is dynamic and, therefore, presents a slight movement with high wind levels.

Our cladding system has been tested in a wind tunnel at over 210 Km/h, validating the strength and dynamics of the product.

We study the location of each project to understand its characteristics and establish the maximum free length of the chain, the tension, and deformations.

Are the systems environmentally sustainable?

Both the systems and the chain are aluminium, a highly sustainable and infinitely recyclable material. In addition, the chain is 20% recycled material.

Does Kriskadecor Outdoor take care of the installation? How is it installed?

Kriskadecor Outdoor does not take care of the direct installation; however, we can recommend professional exterior cladding installers with experience in our product.

Our modules are made up of profiles and chains, and are delivered packed in small boxes to optimise transport and reduce our carbon footprint. Each of our products undergoes a factory check before they reach the job site, and custom assembly instructions and parts are included to make the fixing process easier to understand.

In case the customer requests supervision during installation, Kriskadecor Outdoor can offer this service on request. For more information, please refer to the installation and maintenance manual.

What maintenance do Kriskadecor Outdoor systems need?

Like any other structural system, it's necessary to carry out periodic maintenance and preservation inspections consisting of a yearly visual examination and preventive maintenance.

We recommend cleaning it using water and neutral liquid soap while avoiding abrasive and alkaline products. In areas where it rains frequently, the rainwater should be enough. Products with a pH above 8 should not be used.

Warranty.

Our systems meet the most stringent quality standards, designing a specific guarantee certificate for each project. For more information, please refer to the Kriskadecor Outdoor warranty certificate.
