New ARGELITE
-Horizontal-System
For decades, ARGETON is standing for high-quality terracotta façade tiles that are used
on both architecturally sophisticated buildings and renovations with great success.
In addition to the well-known double skin tiles, ARGELITE façade tiles represent a thinnerand lighter option with an easier and time saving installation method for both, new erectedbuildings as well as renovation issues, also on single family houses.
A joint research programme with Wienerberger France brought out the new ARGELITE-H-System, which has been firstly realised successfully in the practice on aproject in Metz (France).
The ARGELITE-H-System substructure consistsof horizontal aluminium carrier rails. EPDM-distance pieces keep the tiles in position andguarantee a 4mm vertical joint.
The tiles can be installed into the carrier rails
in a very easy way, whereas aluminium clipsor joint profiles are not necessary for thissystem.
ARGELITE tiles are available inlengths up to 800mm,for heights of 200, 250 or 300mmin all natural colours and glazedsurfaces.

Advantages of the system at a glance:
- For renovations, thermal retrofitting and newbuildings, also for single family houses
- Time and cost saving installation
- Tiles can be cut horizontally or vertically,direct on the building site which allowshigh variability
- The façade can be installed from top tobottom and vice versa to avoid damagesduring the construction time enablinggreat flexibility
- Due to the geometry of the tiles no specialbottom or top aluminium rails are needed
- Particularly suitable for renovationsbecause of the low weight system of approx.31 kg/m²
- Installations of building corners orwindows are much easier than for examplewith an aluminium hook rail
- For all current insulation sizes(0cm – 30cm)
- Minimized heat bridgesdue to thermal separations
- Low-energy houses and passive housesare realisable
