ArGeTon®

THE TERRACOTTA Façade

SuStainable elegance

The ArGeTon® façade 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® façades 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 façade is acknowledged to be particularly fire-resistant.

· The joint profile of the façade protects against lateral shift of the façade tiles, the penetration of impact rain and rattling of the places in the wind.

The building of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg – the winner of two awards – was

clad with a chocolate brown ArGeTon® façade.

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.

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 de-

velopment, service-oriented sales and sys-

tematic quality assurance of a large group.

ArGeTon® is backed by Wienerberger AG –

the largest manufacturer of bricks in the world.

ArGeTon® TERRACOTTA Façade

ArGeTon® was developed as a back-ventilated façade

cladding made from clay at the beginning of the 1980’s.

The aim was to create a timeless modern façade with the

unmistakable character of clay as a natural product.

Production

In a roller kiln conceived especially for this purpose, the extruded façade

tiles are fired at high temperatures, individually and carefully coordi-

nated depending on their respective shades.

The exact dimensioning of the ArGeTon® façade tiles is guaranteed by

a special calibrating facility – the essential element of the precise joint

grid which lends the façade its overall impression.

TESTED SECURITY: The ArGeTon® fAçADE IS ball-Shooting reSiStant

ArGeTon® GmbH was the first manufacture of ceramic façade tiles to

pass the test for ball-throwing safety in compliance with DIN 18032-3.

The high strength of the ArGeTon® façade tiles and the new B/85 fix-

ing clips, which can be attached to the carrier rails without additional

tools, are impressive features. The ArGeTon® façades easily maintains

its condition, making the ceramic façade particularly suitable for use on

public buildings such as schools.

Netherlands.

architectural TOUR

The special glazed blue colour of the façade tiles lends

an individually cool and elegant look to this modern

administrative complex in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

The two buildings stand as a landmark in Klaipedia, Lithuania’s port on the Baltic. The warm

and strong natural red of the façade creates a visual bridge to the roofs of the old city.

Characteristic element of the spacious residential development

in Bulgaria‘s Black Sea coast in Lozenec is the pearl-white

ceramic façade combined with typical wood elements.

Tradition and the modern are elegantly combined

in Dongen, Netherlands: the lightness of the

volcanic grey shaded façade reflects the colour

shade of the old mill.

Architects chose façade tiles 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 façade

of the administrative building in Silkeborg, Denmark.

ArGeTon® TECHnOlOGYaluMiniuM SubStructure, Vertical

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 façade tiles pattern.

ArGeTon® façade tiles 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.

All information in mm.

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® façade tiles, which are fastened with special

brackets to the horizontal carrier rails.
