Easier to Specify, Easier to Install

One system. One supplier. One solution. A complete, integrated system designed for easy specification and on-site installation using our patented click-on connection.

The Challenge of Complexity in Facade Specification

Architects are expected to deliver striking facades while navigating evolving building codes, incompatible products, and tight project timelines. Too often, this means specifying separate components such as membranes, insulation, and cladding, each with their own risks, unclear documentation, and added coordination.

Our team can support your vision with detailed solution design to streamline your process from concept to construction.

We specialise in high-end construction fit outs, Sculptform is one of our main products we use - love using them! Its a great product to start and finish with and it looks good on the walls.... The quality is second to none, and once it is on the wall - it is set and forget. Especially the Aluminium aspect - the powder coating is quality, the thickness and durability of the product is awesome.

Simplify Complex Facade Designs

Architects should not have to choose between design intent and compliance. At Sculptform, we’ve worked with project teams facing the very challenges you’re navigating – uncertain compliance pathways and incompatible facade components resulting in costly on-site complications. Velo Facades was built to solve them. It’s a single, cohesive system with tested performance and beautifully resolved details, supported by a team that works with you from specification to delivery.

Thermal Cavity System

Velo Facades is a comprehensive facade system that includes:

Weather-Resistant Membrane: Utilising Pro Clima's advanced membrane technology to protect the building structure against moisture ingress.
Continuous External Insulation: Incorporating ROCKWOOL insulation to enhance thermal performance and reduce energy costs.
Rainscreen Aluminium Cladding: Delivers a durable, contemporary finish while allowing airflow and moisture runoff within the cavity.

This all-in-one solution eliminates the need to specify and coordinate multiple systems. Each component is engineered to work together, simplifying the design and construction process while meeting the ever-evolving compliance and performance standards.

Ventilated Cavity System

Velo Facades is a comprehensive facade system that includes:

Weather-Resistant Membrane: Utilising Pro Clima's advanced membrane technology to protect the building structure against moisture ingress.
Rainscreen Aluminium Cladding: Delivers a durable, contemporary finish while allowing airflow and moisture runoff within the cavity.

This system omits external insulation but still delivers effective weather protection and ventilation. It’s suitable where external insulation is not required by building regulations or where insulation is provided by other elements, maintaining a simplified yet high-quality facade solution.

What is the different between the Thermal Cavity System and the Ventilated Cavity System?

Both systems include a weather-resistant membrane and rainscreen aluminium cladding. The key difference is that the Thermal Cavity System also incorporates continuous external insulation for improved thermal performance, while the Ventilated Cavity System does not.

The Thermal Cavity System with continuous external insulation is considered best practice for modern facades to enhance thermal efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

How does the Velo Facades system improve energy efficiency?

The system integrates ROCKWOOL external insulation and Pro Clima weather-resistant membranes to create a thermally broken, ventilated rainscreen facade. This design reduces thermal bridging and condensation risks, contributing to higher energy ratings and supporting low operational carbon goals.

Is the Velo Facades cladding easy to install?

Yes, Velo Facades features a modular Click-on Cladding system with factory-fixed clips on mounting tracks, simplifying on-site assembly. The system is designed for efficient installation and allows for easy removal and reinstallation of cladding if needed.

How does Velo Facades manage moisture to prevent mould and structural damage?

Velo Facades employs a pressure-equalised rainscreen system featuring an open-air cavity and hydrophobic ROCKWOOL insulation. This design allows any moisture that penetrates the outer cladding to evaporate rapidly, preventing mould growth and safeguarding the building's structural integrity.

What type of insulation does Velo Facades use, and how does it perform when exposed to moisture?

The system utilises hydrophobic mineral wool insulation, specifically ROCKWOOL RAINSCREEN, which repels water rather than absorbing it. Even after prolonged exposure, it absorbs only about 0.3% moisture, maintaining its thermal performance and preventing issues like sagging or decay.

Is Velo Facades suitable for projects aiming for Passivhaus or high energy ratings?

Yes, Velo’s continuous insulation and ventilated cavity help reduce thermal bridging and condensation risk, aligning with the performance needs of Passivhaus and energy-efficient design goals. It supports a tighter, healthier building envelope that reduces energy consumption.

How does Velo Facades promote building health?

Velo’s ventilated rainscreen system prevents trapped moisture and promotes rapid drying, reducing the risk of mould and mildew that can impact occupant health. The use of hydrophobic, non-combustible insulation further improves indoor air quality and fire safety.
