Facades in vitreous enamel
Enamels are silicated glasses with a special chemical composition and a physical state. Enamelled facades offer the combined advantages of both materials, glass and metal: The strengths and elasticity of metal is combined with the hardness and chemical resistance of glass.
 
Properties - Enamel in architecture:
- Versatility
- Light in weight
- wide range of colors
- Gloss or silk mat surface
- Combination of hardness od glass with the strength and elasticity of the substrate
- Dimensional stability
- Resistance to extreme atmospheric temperatures
- Corrosion-resistant
- Resistant to ageing and decay
- Frost-resistant
- non hygroscopic
- Dirt repellent
|
- Acid-resistant
- Remains stable when heated to temperatures in excess of 450°C
- Non-combustible (construction material class A1 in accordnce with DIN 4102)
- Non-porous surface
- Light-fast, colour-fast
- Compatible with other materials
- no discoloration on contrast with plastic joining rings and/or sealing compounds
- hygienic, antibacterial
- leicht dekontaminierbar
- environmentally beneficial

Application of enamel in construction:
Enamel in architecturecan be adapted to suit any requirements for facade construction.
Enamel used in constructionhas proved his hardwearing for decades, even under extreme atmospheric conditions. Enamel in architecture will be used global:
• Back ventilated facade claddings / cold facades
• Sandwich elements / warm facades
• Renovation and modernisation of facades on old buildings
• Balcony panelling
• Parapet elements
• Tunnel cladding
• Art in construction
• Walls and ceilings in interior design
• Staircase panelling
• Escalator panelling
• Walls in wet rooms, laboratories and operating theatres
• Indoor swimmingpools
• Liftcladding
