A PARTNER YOU CAN TRUST
A timeless and state - of - the - art façade with the unique
characteristics of ceramics.
Inspired by this idea, ArGeTon ® was developed as a rear
ventilated curtain wall made from clay at the beginning of
the eighties.
Enjoy the benefits offered by a modern and international
partner, who will use the innovative production systems to
your advantage. Rely upon us! We guarantee a proactive,
modern approach, sales and distribution suited to your
requirements and consequent quality assurance of a large
group. ArGeTon ® has its roots in the globally active company
– Wienerberger, the largest manufacturer of bricks
in the world.
Consequent optimisation and further development of the
product features, formats and colours helps ArGeTon ® fulfil
customer requirements and react to individual wishes in a
flexible manner. For example, ArGeTon ® is the first manufacturer
of ceramic façade panels that has passed the
“ballproof test” in conformance with DIN 18032-3. Thus,
the ArGeTon ® façade is particularly suitable for buildings
that are subjected to high mechanical stress, e.g. schools.
The secret of our success lies in dialogue and know-how.
We will ensure that in future as well you will receive consultation
from the best experts only. For every project, we
will find together the best solution. We look forward to
new challenges and tasks.
YOU CAN COUNT ON US!

TIMELESS PERFECTION
The ArGeTon ® façade easily combines tradition and modern high tech. In combination
with steel, glass or wood, this façade impresses you with its subtlety, elegance, simplicity
and timeless perfection. Thus, it refines the new, state - of - the - art constructions and lends
a contemporary character to renovated structures.
The façade lining always represents high-quality architecture and a design, which is
attractive and state - of - the - art even after many years.
Top: The natural red colour emphasises the architecture of this building. By using
different shades of red, a visual harmony has been created between old and new
structures.

INSPIRING AND OF STRONG CHARACTER
The different grey ceramic tiles of the
ArGeTon ® make captivate one with
their decent and elegant appearance.
The colour you see to the left is volcano
grey.
It is the façade that lends an individual personality and charm to every structure.
Natural raw materials and natural colours enrich the surroundings, in which the
building is located. The vibrant relationship between the warmth emitted by the
ceramic tiles and the linearity of the overall system gives an individual character to
the object.

The different shades of red look inviting and
blend well with an existing infrastructure. Natural
red (top) and Tuscan red (below).
As against natural colour shades, special
glossy colours (as seen here – glacier blue)
make the structures stand out.

The subtle sand colours give a
positive and fresh impression.
CALCULATED AND PRUDENT
ArGeTon ® combines high tech and ecology, always keeping in mind the economic efficiency.
In the present day markets, it is almost impossible to avoid the use of artificial ingredients.
However, ArGeTon ® façade panels are exclusively made from natural raw materials, which
give them a pleasant and natural appearance.
In both – new as well as rehabilitated structures – the ArGeTon ® clay tile façade proves to be
extremely energy-efficient. It is fireproof and its joint profile prevents lateral displacement of the
tiles, penetration of rainwater and rattling of the tiles due to wind.
During the production, the tiles pass through a special calibration unit, which ensures dimensional
accuracy. This is absolutely essential for a precise joint grid, which will finally create the
overall impression of the façade.

IN STYLE – ALWAYS
The aesthetic flavour of the ArGeTon ® façade remains consistent
for years. An ingenious water drainage system prevents contamination.
The ceramic colours are durable and remain bright and
lively even after being subjected to rough weather conditions.
The façade will always be an object of joy and delight to its
viewers simply because of its charm.
Whether in a natural environment or in the grey monotony of a city, the shades
of red (as seen here – natural red) always stand out as a stark contrast.

We recommend the use of the grey shades of ArGeTon ® if you have decided for coloured structural
elements: The colour of the structural element gets highlighted and the building gives an elegant
impression. For example, volcano grey set off against a red window.

Amazing contrasts are possible
with bright colours, too. A combination
of sand colours with a
dark window frame creates an
interesting atmosphere, but is not
showy.

and elegant combination with modern construction materials, such as steel or glass, is possible. Our range of products is marked by

TECHNICAL PRECISION
ArGeTon ® is internationally well-known as the pioneer of modern production technologies.
For example, the distinctive joint grid and the material properties of the tiles ensure perfect
flow conditions.
Aluminium substructure
with vertical T-carrier rails
Aluminium brackets are fixed in the statically required distance using approved dowels on the existing
wall in the horizontal unit spacing. In this regard, attention must be paid to the design of fired and
floating points.
Vertical aluminium supporting profiles are inserted into the brackets. After aligning the supporting profiles
properly, it is fixed using blind rivets or screws. The T-sections are preferably pre-punched in the tile
pattern.
The ArGeTon ® tiles are mounted on the substructure free of tension using self-tapping stainles steel screws
or aluminium rivets, and held in place at four points with proprietary clips. Start with the lowermost
row.
