Faveker Supplies the New Ventilated Ceramic Façade for the Renovation of the Campanar Building
The renovation of the Campanar Building in Valencia marks a turning point in the design of architectural envelopes with advanced fire-safety criteria.
In this project, Faveker has participated in supplying the new ventilated ceramic façade, developed using a vitrified extruded porcelain solution with an A1 fire reaction classification in accordance with UNE-EN 13501-1. This classification guarantees that the material is non-combustible and does not contribute to fire spread.
The new building envelope has been designed with passive fire safety as a priority through an integrated system composed of:
- Vitrified extruded ceramic
- Specific mechanical anchoring system for ventilated façades
- Metal substructure
- Rock wool insulation
- Intumescent barriers within the ventilated cavity
All these elements work together to limit fire spread, control airflow in the event of a fire, and improve the overall performance of the construction system.
Faveker’s complete systems have also been subjected to large-scale international fire propagation tests at the laboratories of Thomas Bell-Wright International Consultants, validating the integrated performance of the assembly under conditions more demanding than the individual classification of its components.
This project reflects our commitment to developing building solutions that combine innovation, energy efficiency and maximum safety in construction.
At Faveker, we continue to promote ventilated ceramic façades as a key solution for safer, more sustainable and technically advanced architecture.

In addition, RTVE covered the tribute held on the second anniversary of the Campanar building fire in this report broadcast on the Telediario Fin de Semana. The video also shows the progress of the renovation works, including the new ventilated ceramic façade supplied by Faveker.
