Surfaces gain a new character with VitrA tiles
The exterior of a building expresses its character. At this point porcelain is a unique material to be used for external cladding. It is waterproof, resisting sub zero temperatures, wind and rain for years, energy saving and easy to care.
Taking the acceptance and use of porcelain for external claddings into consideration, VitrA has an expert in-house team. With its porcelain tiles specially produced for cladding systems in sizes 30x60, 60x60 and 60x120 cm VitrA offers a comprehensive package of project and application facilities for architects and engineers.
The high quality and design of VitrA porcelain and its technical properties make it an ideal material for this purpose.
Surface cladding systems:
Surface cladding systems by leaving a gap between the wall and porcelain tile provide effective thermal and acoustic insulation and offer plenty of functional advantages. The system can be applied to old buildings as well as new ones.
The impact of sunlight, rain, wind etc. is blocked by the external surface of the system and removed by the air circulation in the void. The void between the external wall of the building and the cladding allows air circulation which improves the comfort within the building.
It reduces heat loss from the exterior, giving maximum internal comfort and energy saving in the air conditioning. In reducing heat loss to the outside it also protects the environment. Not only does the system provide thermal isolation, but also it assists the respiration of the building.
