Clay tiles and bricks used for the construction of single family houses or apartment blocks, office or public buildings as well as for façades, gardens, roofs, terraces and open spaces.
Energy-efficient
Clay building materials can reduce the energy consumption of buildings due to their excellent insulation properties and their heat storage capacity.
Durable
Clay building materials are robust, stable and, as a result, especially durable; their lifespan is more than 150 years. Brick buildings, which have lasted for centuries, can be discovered all around the world. Buildings made of clay tiles and bricks are weather-resistant, earthquake-proof and fire-resistant.

The number of possible designs and variations of the implemented products is almost unlimited. Roof tiles and facing bricks as well as pavers can also be perfectly coordinated with one another.
Economic
A solid building envelope made of brick can be constructed quickly and flexibly – this saves both time and money. Wind and weather, heat and frost are not able to damage clay building materials. As a result, maintenance and service costs are low. Owing to their favourable insulation properties, clay building materials also help to save energy costs.
