Airtec Ceramic offers a wide range of design and finish options for high-quality ceramic façades. Large panel sizes and storey-high shaped elements are suspended in the aluminium substructure without visible fixings. The panels consist of a covering layer 6 mm thick on a lightweight concrete base that is no more than 19 mm thick and are extremely resistant to mechanical damage.

Impact resistance	E5 classification expected, DIN 14019, maximum resistance to mechanical influences

Modern architectural façades feature three-dimensional shapes. Such designs can be realised quite easily with our ceramic elements: shaped units of storey-height in lengths up to 3.50 m.

The special material properties of the composite ceramic panel make it possible to create shaped units with exactly the same appearance and a much reduced self-weight. As a result, three-dimensional preformed units such as corners, angles or U-sections can be produced to achieve a monolithic effect. This involves first mitring the composite panels and securing them without a visible joint, using a bonded press fit. Cantilever panels up to 400 mm in length can be attached to an anchoring panel.

The diversity of finishes and colours available for the Airtec Ceramic system offers a vast range of design options and therefore creative freedom. Some of the finishes have a natural stone effect, others have more the texture of hessian. Even metallic surfaces enhanced with a rust-effect can be reproduced with Airtec Ceramic to look just like the real thing. You can rely on Airtec Ceramic by Lithodecor!
