Abstract
The present invention pertains to a rear-ventilated building facade with a load-bearing external wall, with an insulation layer formed from insulation panels and with a facade cladding, wherein the facade cladding is installed by means of a load-bearing structure, forming a rear ventilation gap, at a spaced location from the insulation layer, and wherein the rear ventilation gap is interrupted in the vertical direction by at least one fire barrier, which is configured as a mineral wool panel. It is characterized in that the at least one fire barrier extends over the entire width of the rear ventilation gap, and that the at least one fire barrier has at least one opening extending in the vertical direction in the area of the rear ventilation gap. The present invention further provides a process for manufacturing a rear-ventilated building facade. It is thus possible to perfect a rear-ventilated building facade of this class such that a lastingly reliable fire protection can be achieved with a cost-effective configuration.
