“Our favorite part of the Solstex system is its dual functionality. With traditional photovoltaic systems, you need to worry about compatibility/warranty issues with other building envelope elements, and the systems themselves have relatively long payback periods. With Solstex you get the energy benefits from the PV and you get to discount the cost of the system against traditional cladding materials. On top of that, the system is visually stunning."

"Brandon - It was a pleasure working with you and Elemex. Having never worked with Elemex previously, you and your team provided a seamless submittal process and communicated well throughout the project. The panel installation went well and we had a very good installer that had done sintered ceramic panels in the past."

Rear Ventilated Rainscreen

Our Rear Ventilated Rainscreen System breathes freely and allows panels to repel water and debris. Pressure-equalized system allows moisture to escape. Our systems have passed the AAMA 508-07 test for pressure equalization.

A rainscreen system is an exterior wall detail where the cladding stands off from the water barrier applied to the sheathing to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation.

A Pressure-Equalized Rainscreen has a closed joint via infill strips that act as air dams in both vertical and horizontal joints. The air pressure equalizes and keeps rain and snow from getting driven into the wall cavity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UNITY® facade system?

UNITY® is the proprietary attachment technology of Elemex, enabling various cladding materials, such as ceramic, aluminum, or stone, to be mounted on a single platform. This simplifies the process of mixing materials by the architects and builders, as they do not have to worry about compatibility problems.

Conventional systems tend to restrict design options or necessitate the use of additional structures to accommodate alternative cladding. UNITY® is a single platform to which everything is connected. This translates to fewer complications during installation, more flexibility in mixing materials, and a cleaner finished look.

Yes. That is one of the greatest benefits of the system. UNITY® makes it possible to combine sintered ceramic, aluminum, stone, and even solar panels on the same building.

Yes. The UNITY® attachment technology is designed to be strong and durable. It has been proven to support heavy panels, extreme weather, and decades of operation without any loss of performance. The concept is to make architects and builders feel assured that no matter what cladding material they use, the system will hold it in place over time.

Yes, UNITY® is constructed on a pressure-equalized rainscreen concept. This implies that the panels are not attached to the wall to enable ventilation and drainage, which helps guard the building envelope against water damage and keeps the interior dry.

Definitely, it is not only about attaching panels; UNITY® is also able to integrate custom features such as lighting, signage, spandrels, or ventilation. This allows the design of facades that are not only functional but also project-specific.

The system is standard in commercial buildings, offices, and institutions where both design flexibility and performance are important. Its capacity to mix various facade materials is what makes it particularly popular in modern projects that seek to achieve a unique appearance.
