Basic Concept

Tile Plates are attached by special fasteners to a substructure. A junction profile is installed at the vertical junctions.
It has three functions:

1. Impact rain protection
2. Prevention of the lateral shift of the plates
3. A shock absorption effect, and hence a relatively soft attachment of the plates, as well as prevention of rattling in the wind.
   

The technical and physical values of the ArGeTon® Tile Plate have been officially tested by the Dresden Materials Testing Agency and the Hanover Construction Materials Testing Agency.

1. Frost resistant as per DIN 52252, Part 1, minimum of 50 freeze-thaw changes without damage
2. Non-combustible
3. Shape-retaining
4. Insulation as per Energy Savings Ordinance - the thickness of the insulation is not dependent on the substructure. The type of the insulation can be freely selected. The attachment can be carried out in accordance with the respective manufacturer’s requirements.
5. Water drainage and water passage out of the façade are guaranteed by the head and runoff grooves on the tile plates.
6. Ventilation takes place through the horizontal junction crack between the tile plates. The back ventilation of the façades is guaranteed by a sufficient gap from the wall/insulation of a minimum of 20 mm.
7. The additional noise insulation of the building by the ArGeTon® Tile Plates reduces air-carried sound by approx. 9 dB, depending on type of application.
