What is Ultralight Façade
Ultralight Façade is the new ultra-thin aluminum panel designed by Tecnografica to transform the way architects and designers envision the aesthetic identity of buildings. Conceived to integrate seamlessly into ventilated façade systems and, at the same time, to be installed directly on exterior surfaces, Ultralight Façade paves the way for lighter, more versatile, and visually distinctive design solutions.
Extreme lightness and reduced thickness, minimizing structural loads and costs while significantly reducing logistics time and expenses. | Adaptable formats based on project requirements, up to a maximum size of 100 × 300 cm.Adaptable formats based on project requirements, up to a maximum size of 100 × 300 cm. | ||
Superior performance in terms of resistance to UV rays, corrosion, impacts, and humidity. | Complete graphic customization through ultra-high-definition digital printing. |
A material that goes beyond the limits of traditional cladding and sets a new standard for the future of contemporary architecture.
Why Choose Ultralight Façade
Lightness and reduced thickness
Only 3.9 kg/m² and 1.2 mm thick: ideal for renovations and interventions on existing buildings, it avoids structural modifications and simplifies handling on site.
Durability without compromise
Resistance to:
- UV rays (RUV 4)
- corrosion (500 hours salt spray test
- humidity (UNI EN ISO 6270-1)
- impact (18 J)
Total graphic design freedom
Digital processing and excellent print definition make it possible to reproduce any design, including continuous graphics.
Optimized logistics
Thanks to reduced weight and thickness
- easier transportation
- lower shipping costs
- flat crates without bulky frames
High-definition digital printing
Consistently sharp graphics, precise details, vibrant colors, and full creative freedom across the entire surface.
Bending Process
Bending makes it possible to create corners, reveals, and custom-made special pieces, ensuring graphic continuity even around the edges of the building. Each element is precisely processed to achieve a clean, visually uniform result, with no interruptions in the design.
Curving Process
Thanks to their thickness of just 1.2 mm and the flexibility of aluminum, Ultralight Façade slabs can be curved to the radii required by the project. This process makes it possible to clad curved surfaces, columns, and flowing architectural elements while maintaining graphic continuity across the façade.
Compatible with the following systems or equivalent solutions:




Installation: ventilated façade & direct application
Ultralight Façade is designed to offer maximum installation freedom, adapting precisely to both ventilated façade systems and direct application on exterior walls. This versatility simplifies on-site work and expands design possibilities.
Ventilated façade
Fully compatible with solutions such as CROSSFIX® by EJOT, and CELO, FISCHER, TECHLEVER systems, Ultralight Façade ensures safe and high-performance installation.
The system allows for:
- stable and reliable fixings
- millimeter-level adjustments for perfect alignment
- high thermo-hygrometric performance for enhanced building comfort
Direct application on exterior walls
he ultra-reduced thickness and high mechanical resistance of aluminum allow Ultralight Façade to be installed directly onto the building surface using adhesives specifically designed for outdoor environments.
An ideal solution when the project requires:
- fast installation without a substructure
- no additional load on masonry
- a strong visual impact or continuous graphics
Real-life installation of Ultralight Façade
A real-life installation offers a closer look at how Ultralight Façade can transform an exterior wall into a distinctive architectural surface, combining lightness, precision, and visual impact.
From the preparation of the supporting structure to the installation of the ultra-thin aluminum slabs, every stage of the process contributes to the creation of a contemporary façade system designed to integrate seamlessly with the architecture and enhance its identity.
The continuity between the individual slabs allows the graphic design to extend across the entire surface, creating a visually consistent and cohesive cladding. In this project, the ‘Tracce Viventi’ design gives the exterior a bold and recognizable character, transforming the building envelope into a truly expressive surface.

Total graphic design freedom
One of the most significant advantages of Ultralight Façade is the freedom to design the surface without constraints, transforming each façade into a unique identity element. Ultra-high-definition digital printing technology makes it possible to reproduce any aesthetic with photographic precision and visual continuity.
Digital printing enables the creation of high-quality graphics, including:
- natural materials such as stone, metal, wood, and concrete
- complex architectural patterns with seamless continuity and high definition
- graphic or artistic textures with maximum chromatic depth
- custom colors or bespoke palettes defined by the designer
- faithful reproduction of corporate branding for a coherent and distinctive visual identity
With Ultralight Façade, every project becomes truly unique and non-replicable, a result that is impossible to achieve with traditional cladding systems, often limited to a narrow range of colors or standard finishes.
