Translucent facades
Facades reflect in many ways the function of
clothing. They should be aesthically pleasing and
underline the character of the respective building
as well as to fulfil all functional requirements. The
connection of ecology, economy and high tech
broadens the creative possibilities for facade design
and determine the architectonic character of the
building.

"Multi coloured is my favourite colour"*
Differently toned facades award buildings with unique
effects. They leave a distinctive impression through
viewing at translucent facades from the either
exterior or interior side.
The specific application of coloured facade elements
creates an individual design, which can be adjusted
to the purporse of the building.
Rodeca Design-Series for translucent facades:

COLOR - Single coloured panels in standard and custom made colours
BI-COLOR - Interior panel layer differently coloured than exterior panel layers for 3D effects
DECO-COLOR - Exterior panel layer differently coloured than interior panel layers for design effects
HEATBLOC - Solar heat reflecion natural daylight yes, overheating no
REFLEXA - Panel surface with metallic look pigmentation
LUNA - Fluorescent surface that absorbs daylight and glows at night
DUO-COLOR - The colour division between the exterior and interior panel colour is half through
the panels thickness

Functionality
Functional facade glazing

Rodeca has been developing and producing wall and
roof system for more than 35 years. Virtually imbreakable and insulating facades sometimes have to be
resistant to extrem conditions, i.e. sport, industrial
and commercial buildings. The highly impact resistant multi wall panels and sheets made from Polycarbonate have proven themselves reliable as large
scale wall glazing and cladding all over the world.
Functions
Break and impact resistance
High fire safety
Thermal insulation down to 0.35 W/m2K
Up to 43 dB sound insulation
Reliable for temperatures up to 110 degree Celsius
High stability
Low weight
Coextruded UV-protection layer for
long term longevity
Energy efficient
heat insulation
Translucent wall insulation
Ecological and economical demands for planning
new wall and facades, as well as for renovations of
existing walls and facades, are increasingly becoming prominent. For an energy efficient wall glazing
the multi wall panels offer optimal heat insulation.
Further cost advantages result from the low system
weight as well the comparably large free spans that
can be realised with rodeca translucent building
elements.
Ug-Value ISOCLEAR, < 0.8 W/mK

Ug-Value double glazing, 2.8 W/mK
Ug-Value single glazing, 5.8 W/mK
Depending on the kind of installation and
the initial situation ISOCLEAR surfaces can
reduce energy losses by up to 80%.

The facade system

The Rodeca facade system has proven itself reliable
in numerous projects from the cold of Siberia to the
heat of Australia. The facade systems main component are the modular interlocking polycarbonate
panels:
Multi wall panels from polycarbonate with up to 12
layers, tongue and groove coupling, fastening slot
and cover lip
Thermally broken frame profiles
Combination with natural smoke-heat evacuation
Variable window and door elements
Fasteners, gaskets and system accessories

Design
In this range the multi wall panels are completely

coloured. Apart from standard colours the panels
can also be produced in custom made colours.
BI-COLOR
The interior panel side is coloured differently than

the exterior panel side. This colouration with a
special colour pigment creates three dimensional illumination and colour effects, which appear
differently depending on level of daylight and
perspective.
DECO-COLOR and DUO-COLOR
The exterior panel side is differently coloured than
the interior panel side. This makes the faade non
transparent from outside and offers non blinding
daylight in the interior. A HEATBLOC surface prevents solar overheating during the summer.
