Application

External façade installations. Suitable for use on a new building, refurbishment or re-cladding project.

Description

The Argeton terracotta rainscreen cladding system combines the proven durability and natural beauty of clay, with a simple support structure. This enables the designer freedom of expression and the contractor a simple and quick installation process. Ceramic tiles are fixed onto the substrate via vertical or horizontal aluminium support rails and purpose-made aluminium clamps or clips. In the opinion of the BBA, the Argeton terracotta cladding system, if installed, used and maintained in accordance with certificate number 22/6507, can satisfy or contribute to satisfying the relevant requirements of The Building Regulations 2010 (England and Wales), 2004 (Scotland) and 2012 (Northern Ireland).


Suitable for use on a new building, refurbishment or re-cladding project, the Argeton facade system is backed by BBA certification and CWCT testing. Providing tangible environmental benefits, Argeton holds the Environmental Product Declaration in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 being the European standardized equivalent of a BREEAM accreditation.


The ceramic tiles, support rails, clamps and clips are classified as ‘non-combustible’ in accordance with national building regulations and are not subject to any restrictions on building height or proximity to boundaries.


Features and benefits:

  • Reliable: frost, scratch and UV-colour resistant, the terracotta rainscreen is designed without gaskets, pressure clips or seals that can either deteriorate within the design life of the system, or contribute to ‘tile creep’ as a result of thermal movement.
  • Durable: in normal UK conditions, the system will have a service life in excess of 35 years, see section 10 of BBA certificate 22/6507.
  • Sustainable manufactured directly adjacent to the quarry from which the natural clay is sourced, Argeton tile production minimizes the transport of raw material. Confirmed by their ISO 14025 and EN 15804 certified status, the tiles are also fully recyclable, creating a sustainable life cycle.
  • Versatile height modules are available from 150–500 mm and in module lengths up to 1500 mm dependent upon tile module height.
  • In addition to the large standard range and new Inspirio colours, unique shapes and bespoke tiles can also be developed to suit individual project needs.
