Abstract
A layered façade panel for being secured to a building or structure. In one embodiment, the panel includes a porous metal outer layer, a non-porous backing layer and an intermediate layer between the outer and backing layers, the outer metal layer having a porosity for allowing vegetation to grow through and to be supported in pores in the outer layer, and the intermediate layer being for supporting roots of the vegetation.
Claims18
A façade system, comprising:
- a first layered façade panel being comprised of a first metal outer layer having a first metal outer layer perimeter edge, a first backing layer having a first backing layer perimeter edge, and a first intermediate layer having a first intermediate layer perimeter edge, said first intermediate layer being between said first metal outer layer and said first backing layer,
- wherein said first backing layer is further comprised of a first lower edge having a first stepped portion so as to form a first step and a first upper edge having a first protruding edge and being positioned opposite said first lower edge across said first backing layer;
- and
- a second layered façade panel being comprised of a second metal outer layer having a second metal outer layer perimeter edge, a second backing layer having a second backing layer perimeter edge, and a second intermediate layer having a second intermediate layer perimeter edge, said second intermediate layer being between said second metal outer layer and said second backing layer,
- wherein said second backing layer is further comprised of a second lower edge having a second stepped portion so as to form a second step and a second upper edge having a second protruding edge and being positioned opposite said second lower edge across said second backing layer,
- wherein said first step is interlocked with said second protruding edge, said first step having a first step thickness compatible with a thickness of said second backing layer, and
- wherein said first intermediate layer is in fluid connection with said second intermediate layer.
