In recent years, the construction industry has undergone a rapid transformation, driven by stricter regulations and growing attention to energy efficiency and indoor air quality. The Biopietra reconstituted stone cladding, thanks to its certifications and technical properties, is increasingly used on external insulation systems. Its mechanical strength, breathability, acoustic insulation, ease of installation, and durability make it an ideal solution to enhance the performance and longevity of thermal insulation systems.
The goal of the CappottoFacile Biopietra system is to enhance the performance of traditional insulation systems, making them more efficient and long-lasting. Biopietra integrates seamlessly with the insulating panel, transforming it from a simple protective layer into a structural part of the wall—just like bark protects a tree.
The CappottoFacile Biopietra system turns the insulating panel into a protected structural element, improving resistance to weather and impact. Biopietra acts as a natural shield, ensuring protection and breathability.
Biopietra exterior cladding enhances the building’s aesthetics and offers endless design possibilities. Creative freedom meets energy efficiency, making each project unique and high-performing.
Thanks to a wide range of colors, textures, and special pieces, Biopietra adapts to any architectural need. Custom finishes and L-shaped corners are available for seamless and harmonious installation.
Biopietra is free from harmful emissions, eco-friendly, and certified for green building. It’s ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, contributing to healthier environments and ecosystem protection.
When applied to external insulation systems, Biopietra adds mass to the building envelope, reducing sound waves through the mass-spring-mass principle. This ensures effective noise reduction.
During warmer months, Biopietra reduces periodic thermal transmittance (Yie) and increases the phase shift of solar heat waves. Its irregular surface creates micro-shading that limits wall overheating.
Biopietra is completely non-combustible and protects the underlying insulation layers, enhancing building safety in case of fire.
Unlike traditional systems, Biopietra offers thicknesses from 25 to 60 mm, creating a solid barrier against impacts and mechanical stress.
Biopietra withstands UV rays, frost, hail, and humidity. It promotes breathability and, when treated with Biofin, prevents algae and mold formation.
Installation on insulating materials (such as EPS, rock wool, or cork…) is simple and versatile. While the material’s quality requires careful installation, it ensures long-term durability and high performance.
