a PRECISE and INNOVATIVE cladding cystem developed by Gruppo ZECCA.

What makes PIZ cladding system for faades unique?

Only PIZ is produced with an exceptional, certified, patented method. The chemical and
mechanical use of the two materials composing PIZ generates a synergic effect. The insulating
board and the highly performing external surface are bonded, not glued, as one. The result is an
innovative product, unique in its kind with superior performances.

Intelligent surface
PIZ and photocatalysis
In cooperation with the Politecnico di Milano Technical University Piz srl has developed PIZ I.S. a cladding
system obtained using titanium dioxide to alter the materials surface characteristics generating photocatalysis
and superhydrophilicity.

Self-cleaning properties
Thanks to its special dirt-resistant characteristics PIZ I.S. enables to contain cleaning and maintenance costs,
exploiting the chemical reaction following light absorption by a catalyst, also known as superhydrophilicity. This
phenomenon enables the water to spread evenly on the surface without generating drops. Thus, PIZ I.S. cladded
walls are permanently covered by an invisible film generated by dampness in the air, which prevents the dirt from
adhering to the wall. Any dirt may easily be removed with water.

Reduction of air pollution and anti-bacterial properties

A photocatalyst is a substance which uses sunlight to improve a chemical reaction without undergoing changes.
During photosynthesis, for example, chlorophyll is a photocatalyst. When a photocatalyst absorbs natural or artificial
UV rays it produces couples of electrons and holes in the valence band. These holes have a strong oxidizing
power, whereas electrons have a strong reducing power. When these couples of holes and electrons react with the
dampness on the surface, the oxidizing power leads to the production of hydrogen radicals, which in turn react with
pollutants and bacteria in the atmosphere. These are then decomposed into non-polluting substances which are
easily washed away by the rain.

PIZ Standard 54 cladding system

Cladding system consisting of :
The panel has thickness 54 mm made up of external skin 8-9 mm. thick alkaline resistant fibre glass reinforced modified cement mortar metal oxide full depth coloured paste resistant to atmospheric agents strictly joint
with a layer of NEOPOR (BASF), a 45 mm thick insulating flame retarded expanded synthesised polystyrene, over-all thickness of the system install with the rails is 57 mm. The lower and upper horizontal edges of the
cement mortar are thickened and grooved to allow the insertion of continuous aluminium extruded rail. The vertical edges of the panel are grooved to allow the insertion of an omega aluminium profile for the 15mm gap
joint, or a PVC T profile for the 0 mm gap joint. All the aluminium profile are treated against atmospheric attack, the system shall be secured to the existing sub-structure (iron frame, concrete wall, masonry wall) by
means of screws or expansion fixings. Surface finishing and colour of the panels and aluminium profiles shall be to the clients choice.

with a layer of NEOPOR (BASF), a 57 mm thick insulating flame retarded expanded synthesised polystyrene, overall thickness of the system install with the rails is 69 mm. The lower and upper horizontal edges
of the cement mortar are thickened and grooved to allow the insertion of continuous aluminium extruded rail, a secondary continuous longitudinal wing in the profile is insert in a polystyrene groove for improve
the watertight property of the system. Aluminium rail is treated against atmospheric attack, special double wing and channel design allow collection and drainage of rain water in addi- tion PVC transition joint
between each rail make the system completely waterproof. The vertical edges of the panel are grooved to allow the insertion of an omega aluminium profile for the 15mm gap joint or a PVC T profile for the
0 mm gap joint. The system shall be secured to the existing sub-structure (iron frame, concrete wall, masonry wall) by means of screws or expansion fixings. Surface finishing and colour of the panels and
