A wall is provided with an outer facade comprised of a cladding element which contains an insulating core. The cladding element includes a central band having flanges extending from opposing edges, on the same side of the plane defined by the central band. Each of the flanges includes a row of venting holes and a ratchet blade protruding from the flange and adapted for interlocking connection with the ratchet blade of a corresponding, adjacent cladding element. The insulating core is made from a rigid insulating material and includes a series of embossed blocks distributed evenly over its outer surface so that the inner surface of the central band rests on the embossed blocks of the insulating core. Also provided are a number of mounting and finishing elements including end and intermediate rails for enclosing the flanges of the cladding element, as well as special coverings for cable edges and salient or re-entrant angles.
A cladding element for providing a wall with an outer facade, comprising a central band having flanges extending from opposite edges thereof, wherein each of said flanges extends from said central band on the same side of the plane of said central band, and wherein each of said flanges includes a row of venting holes and connection means comprises of a single ratchet blade protruding outwardly from the flange and adapted for interlocking connection with the single ratchet blade of a corresponding, adjacent cladding element to be connected to said cladding element.
A cladding element for providing a wall with an outer facade, comprising a central band and flanges extending from opposite edges of the central band to define a cavity for containing an insulating core made from a rigid insulation material and including a series of embossed blocks distributed evenly over the outer surface of the insulating core so that the inner surface of the central band rests on the embossed blocks of the insulating core and so that diagonals of said embossed blocks are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said insulating core.
