THE TERRACOTTA FAADE

ArGeTon

ArGeTon TERRACOTTA FAADE

ArGeTon was developed as a back-ventilated faade cladding made from clay at the beginning of the 1980s. The aim was to create a timeless modern faade with the unmistakable character of clay as a natural product.

Today, almost 30 years later, the name ArGeTon stands for quality, aesthetics and creativity. The success story is based on a systematic and future-oriented product development, service-oriented sales and systematic quality assurance of a large group. ArGeTon is backed by Wienerberger AG the largest manufacturer of bricks in the world.

The building of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg the winner of two awards was clad with a chocolate brown ArGeTon faade.

The success is based on dialogue and expertise, which is why in future too you will be advised exclusively by experts. We prepare the best solution for every project working in cooperation with you. We look forward to the tasks and challenges you have in store for us.

SUsTAINABLE ELEGANCE
The ArGeTon faade enhances new and modern buildings and lends refurbished properties a contemporary character. Combined with steel, glass or wood, it is elegant, natural and timelessly perfect. ArGeTon faades also keep their good looks for decades:  A clever water runoff system avoids the accumulation of dirt.  The ceramic colours remain constant and strong even when exposed to tough weathering conditions.  The faade is acknowledged to be particularly re-resistant.  The joint prole of the faade protects against lateral shift of the tile-plates, the penetration of impact rain and rattling of the places in the wind.

PRODUCTION
In a roller kiln conceived especially for this purpose, the extruded tileplates are red at high temperatures, individually and carefully coordinated depending on their respective shades. The exact dimensioning of the ArGeTon tile-plates is guaranteed by a special calibrating facility the essential element of the precise joint grid which lends the faade its overall impression.

TESTED SECURITY: The ArGeTon Faade is BALL-sHOOTING REsIsTANT

ArGeTon GmbH was the rst manufacture of ceramic faade tile-plates to pass the test for ball-throwing safety in compliance with DIN 18032-3. The high strength of the ArGeTon tile-plate and the new B/85 xing clips, which can be attached to the carrier rails without additional tools, are impressive features. The ArGeTon faades easily maintains its condition, making the ceramic fa de particularly suitable for use on public buildings such as schools.

ArGeTon pRODUCT RANGE

TAMPA
The classic tile-plate for a clean-cut building appearance: clear and simple in form and without grooves.

TERZO
Like strips or small straps: a special impression is created by two false joints.

TERZO 2
Two false joints of different width in the surface create an interesting faade look.

TERZO 3
A unique joint pattern created by three false joints in the surface.

LINEO 4
A stylish horizontal linear structure created by four 3 mm deep grooves.

LINEO 9
9 grooves in the surface for an accentuated and unusual faade look.

Other surfaces and colours can of course be provided. Speak to us.

DANZA
The overlap of the individual panels creates a fascinating play of shadow, depending on how the light falls on the building faade.

ArGeLite
Perfect looks combined with simple and secure assembly. The ArGeLite panel is very well suited to building refurbishments in view of its optimised weight.

sUN sCREEN BARRO

In addition to its function as an architectural design element the brick bar can also be used as a sun shade and screen.

ELLIPTIC BARRO
Elliptic barros can be used as sun shade and screen. As a design element they serve to open up the faade.

CURVED BARRO
Rounded outer and inner corners, convex and concave faade areas, the round cladding of a bay: varied design ideas put impressively into practice.

FULL CERAMIC CORNER

Straight-line, clean cornering for a perfect terracotta faade down to the very last detail.

ARCHITECTURAL tour

The sand-coloured iridescent engobe surface is responsible for the animated structure of this administrative building in Gooiland, Netherlands.

The special glazed blue colour of the tile-plates lends an individually cool and elegant look to this modern administrative complex in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

The two buildings stand as a landmark in Klaipedia, Lithuanias port on the Baltic. The warm and strong natural red of the faade creates a visual bridge to the roofs of the old city.

Characteristic element of the spacious residential development in Bulgarias Black Sea coast in Lozenec is the pearl-white ceramic faade combined with typical wood elements.

Tradition and the modern are elegantly combined in Dongen, Netherlands: the lightness of the volcanic grey shaded faade reects the colour shade of the old mill.

Architects chose faade tile-plates in natural red for an administrative building in Shanghai, China, thereby creating a harmonious and aesthetic bridge between modern and old architecture.

The combination of curved Barro elements and glass lend the business complex in Constance, Germany, a visually attractive transparency. The natural red colour successfully creates a link to the historical adjacent property.

Noble, pure and transparent the volcanic grey faade of the administrative building in Silkeborg, Denmark.

General information
Tile thickness: 30 mm 1,5 mm Standard lengths: 400 1,500 mm Weight per m2: 42.0 44.0 kg The dimensions stated are centre-to-centre dimensions and refer to the centrejoint measurement both in terms of height and width.

Notes
In addition to standard lengths, variable lengths are possible. The product quality corresponds to at least EN 1304. Points of friction, e.g. through manufacture or transport are of no relevance to the standard values. Small colour deviations result from the production process. Please observe the important regulations and standards on the processing of ArGeTon panels.

ArGeTon techNoLogy ALUmINIUm sUBsTRUCTURE, vERTICAL

ALUmINIUm T sUBsTRUCTURE WITH vERTICAL CARRIER RAILs
Cleats of aluminium are attached to the existing wall by means of approved pins in horizontal centre distance, and with the spacing necessary for structural stability. The occurrence of fixed and sliding points must be ensured here in compliance with DIN 18516, Part 1. Vertical aluminium carrier profiles are inserted into the cleats (a special clamping spring enables exact adjustment). After alignment of the carrier profile, it is attached with a blank rivet. The T profiles are pre-holed preferably to the tile-plate pattern. ArGeTon tile-plates are attached to the substructure with special clips at four points without being forced in, by means of self-tapping stainless-steel screws or aluminium hollow-drawn rivets. The procedure starts with the bottom row.

ALUmINIUm T sUBsTRUCTURE WITH HORIZONTAL CARRIER RAILs
The substructure consists of vertical angled base carrier profiles, which are anchored at the building with wall cleats. Horizontal carrier rails of aluminium are placed on the base substructure. The distance depends on the height in the grid of the ArGeTon tile-plates, which are fastened with special brackets to the horizontal carrier rails.
