1. A façade cladding system comprising an insulation material body and a cladding fixing system;
wherein the insulation material body has an inner insulation material body surface for facing a load-bearing substrate of a building and an outer insulation material body surface opposite to the inner insulation material body surface, and the insulation material body has an insulation material body thickness as measured from the inner surface to the outer surface of the insulation material body, and the insulation material body exhibits less than 10% deformation under a compressive pressure of 400 kPa as measured by in accordance with EN 826;
wherein the cladding fixing system has a base plate with an insulation abutting surface for abutting the outer surface of the insulation material body, and at least one thermally conductive load-bearing fixing extending from the base plate and for fixing the base plate to the load-bearing substrate through the base plate;
wherein the cladding fixing system further includes one or more thermally conductive stability flanges extending from the insulation abutting surface, with each stability flange extending no more than 75% of the insulation material body thickness;
wherein the at least one load-bearing fixing has a length greater than the insulation material body thickness for extending from the base plate through the insulation body material and into the load-bearing substrate;
wherein a total cross section of the at least one load-bearing fixing of the cladding fixing system is less than 500 mm2 per square meter of the insulation material body; and
wherein the at least one load-bearing fixing is the only part of the cladding fixing system that extends from the base plate through 100% of the insulation material body thickness.
