About AVAVERA
AVAVERA GmbH, based in Wesseling near Cologne, develops and sells post-and-beam façade systems based on wood or wood-aluminium for modern façade and glass roof construction. The product range includes the AVA-H wood-aluminium hybrid façade with a seal guide routed into the wood, as well as the AVA-C system façade for glazing on timber and steel structures, with glass weights of up to 720 kg (AVA-H) and 1,000 kg (AVA-C). Services include consulting and planning, pre-fabrication, installation support, as well as detailed installation manuals and documentation. System options include burglar resistance (RC2/RC3), fire protection and sound insulation. Materials used include softwood of strength class C24, glulam, Kerto laminated veneer lumber, hardwoods, aluminium profiles EN AW-6060/6063 and EPDM gaskets according to DIN 7863. The systems are aimed at architects, building owners and façade fabricators in new build and refurbishment; reference projects include Meir Corner in Antwerp and the Campus in Den Bosch.

Quality & Approvals
The systems have been tested in accordance with applicable standards; an abW approval (Z-14.4-995) exists for AVA-C. Performance values such as air permeability (AE 900 Pa), water tightness (RE 1800 Pa), wind load resistance (2.0/3.0 kN/m²) and thermal insulation (Uf up to 0.70 W/(m²K)) are documented at system level.
