Finishes include matt, stain matt and gloss finishes, stone, concrete, timber and metallic finishes. The system allows for unlimited application possibilities due to a large range of mechanical fixing options, accommodating both horizontal, vertical and overhead solutions, including a range of conventional bond patterns.

Surface Profiles

The surface profiles include the conventional smooth panel and the 3 dimensional reliefs provided by a further 10 different profiles, including the “negative” grooved, “positive” grooved, irregular grooved, brushed, stripy, shed, sine wave and new wave profiles and the recently released Canyon and Kaijo profiles. Used individually as a stand alone profile to provide a striking memorable façade or together with other profiles to present nuanced variations, the surface profiles presented by Agrob Buchtal provide an unparalleled degree of design options.

Panel Formats

The Extruded Stoneware Panels are available in a range of standard heights from 150mm through to 600mm and panel lengths custom manufactured for each project at 1mm increments up to a maximum of 1800mm. The largest panel size due to technical reasons is 1800x600mm. As depicted below there are some technical limitations with panel heights less than 300mm high. There are a large range of mechanical fixing options which facilitate horizontal and vertical panel orientations, overhead soffits and both stack bond and various other bond layouts.

The nine coordinated colour families include Cream, Yellow, Apricot, Salmon Red, Pink, Neutral Grey, Grey, Blue and Green family groups shown below.

The Natura Unglazed series comprises a range of 15 natural earthy tones. The Natura series resembles the classic colours of a Terracotta panel but in a more durable maintenance free Ceramic Stoneware material. The Design Unglazed series completes the unglazed options across the range. The Design Unglazed series is a specially manufactured set of 4 panel colours with a slightly heavier surface texture. The Golden Red, Golden Cream, Golden Grey and Golden Anthracite panels are interspersed with a fine golden fleck and provides designers with a unique material choice.

The KeraTwin® colour options are completed by the vast options of the Design Glazed range which include panels finishes in stone, concrete, metal, metallic and timber look panel finishes. The Stone look panels include the newly released big and bold surface of the Milan series, the full stone features of Savona, the Sandstone surfaces of Quarzit and the finer subtle stone like features of the Rockface, Mega, Haze and Stonewall series. Design Glazed Cement range includes the 2 concrete tones of the Construct series. Design Glazed Metal includes several Metal and Metallic panel finishes and Streetlife Rust that provide options for architects looking for a classic metal and metallic like aesthetics. These options provide architects with the durability and long lasting features of a Ceramic Stoneware panel with a metallic appearance. Finally, the timber look range replicate the natural timber grains and knots in the Oak and Driftwood series and the finer timber texture of Bosco.
