It offers a complete range of drainage DRAINAGE SYSTEMS solutions and also for electrical conduits WHO and beaconage. WE ARE ULMA ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS FORMS PART OF THE ULMA GROUP, ONE OF THE LARGEST BUSINESS GROUPS IN THE NORTH OF SPAIN, WITH NEARLY 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE MARKET AND A CLEAR COMMITMENT TO INNOVATION, EMPLOYMENT AND ADDED VALUE. VENTILATED FACADES In this dossier we present the building system THE ULMA GROUP ALSO FORMS PART OF THE MONDRAGON CORPORATION. we have developed at ULMA Architectural Solutions. This system can be used both in The Group currently has an extensive network of subsidiaries spread over countries in the five continents: new buildings and in restorations. We have a Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, United States, France, Holland, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, etc. In customized solution for each one. 2015 we provided direct employment to over 4,500 people with an annual turnover of over 700 million Euros. ULMA ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS’ SPECIALIZATION IN PREFABRICATED VENTILATED FACADES BUILDING SYSTEMS, HAS ALLOWED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WIDE RANGE OF SOLUTIONS AIMED PRIMARILY AT FOUR SEGMENTS: 6 7 POLYMER PROPERTIES CONCRETE OF OUR PANELS • CONCEALED AND VISIBLE FIXING • NON-POROUS PRODUCT • VERY LIGHT PANEL • HIGH RESISTANCE UNDER TRACTION • HIGH SHOCK RESISTANCE • ZERO WATER ABSORPTION • EASY POST - GRAFFITI TREATMENT • LONG-LASTING • HIGH RESISTANCE UNDER COMPRESSION • HIGHLY RESISTANT TO CHEMICALS • HIGH COLOUR DURABILITY • UNCHANGED IN FREEZING AND THAWING CYCLES • RESISTANT TO INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS • RESISTANT TO SALTY ENVIRONMENTS • NO HEAVY METALS IN THEIR COMPOSITION • EASE OF MAINTENANCE SHIELD PLUS TECHNOLOGY by ULMA PRODUCT • Polymer Concrete panels whose thickness is between 11 and 14 mm, manufactured OUR according to Standard EN-15286.

In European academic community, it is considered as the most efficient system for resolving the building’s insulation, eliminating the unwanted thermal bridges as well as the condensation problems 10 and so achieving an excellent thermal-hygrometric 11 behaviour of the building.
