ALPHATON® double skin tile 30 mm thick is the optimum solution for curtain wall ventilated and thermally insulated façade for Horizontal or Vertical cladding.
ALPHATON® extruded clay tile is produced from clay predominantly from Moeding Keramikfassaden GmbH own pits developed near by the production area.
Long firing time in high temperatures of the high quality clay contributes to achieve ALPHATON® extruded tile strength and high value standards.
The ALPHATON®-tile facade is a product that has building inspectorate approval in Germany (Z – 33.1 531). As part of continuous quality testing for compliance with approval specifications, the products are additionally tested by independent institutions. The system satisfies the requirements listed in DIN 18516 Part 1 for curtain-wall, back-ventilated facades.
ALPHATON® tile sizes:
ALPHATON® tile sizes 150 – 300 mm height X 250 – 1500 mm. length for Horizontal facade or Vertical facade.
Standard tiles are available in various sizes, surface finishes and colors as well as special sizes and colors requested which can be tailor made under accepted order.
Finishes
- Standard smooth
This surface looks as smooth light sanded and comes as a regular production of the clay firing. - Grooved
Grooved and Deep grooved create 3 dimension impression due to shades and create interesting facade.
- Polished
The tiles are honed processed underlining the grog clay composition and donating the tiles a unique architectural look
- Brushed
Light textured brushed surface which donates a Renaissance chiaroscuro artistic light effect which emphasizes material quality. - Patinated
Glazed fine patina layer on tile surface in wide color selection, or a film of metallic patina layer on tile surface
-
- Deep grooved
-
- Grooved
Tile Shapes
Besides the special elements described below are developed other requested elements in close collaboration with the planner. In the development stage, the design of the special elements in line with the planner’s wishes is awarded the same importance as the ability to install them easily and safely.
- ALPHATON Grooved tile facade
Light grooved surface appearance which underlines fine horizontal lines.
The ALPHATON® grooved tile facade is available in 9 different standard formats from 150-250 mm height up to 500 mm length.
- ALPHATON Deep grooved tile facade
Grooved surface appearance which remind German old brick tradition but with new design to underline long horizontal bricks.

ALPHATON system
ALPHATON double skin facade system is made out of four simple basic components:
- Terracotta / klinker double skin Gen.06 tiles
- Horizontal ALPHATON Gen. 06 support profile or Vertical ALPHATON or L²support profile.
- Gen. 06 Tile holders standard or rapid
- Gen. 06 Vertical Joint profile
ALPHATON® metal sub structure for cladding / fixing the tiles consists on using the following systems:
- ALPHATON Gen.06
The system is based on ALPHATON horizontal bearing profiles support fastened to conventional vertical profiles with hollow rivets or self-tapping stainless steel screws.
ALPHATON Gen.06. system offers 2 horizontal support profiles
- ALPHATON Gen.06 – 75 – Open horizontal support profile
This profile is used in cases where the architecture does not allow support profile span widths bigger than 0.75 m’ the open support profile is used. The total section thickness of façade is then 60 mm. The open support bearing profile Gen. 06-75 can be installed up to 900 mm. section width. - ALPHATONGen.06-150 – Closed horizontal support profile
For larger span width the closed support bearing profile is used. The maximum possible span width for this is 1500 mm. The total thickness of section facade is then 70 mm.
* Tile installation is from lower facade elevation towards highest elevation point.
- ALPHATON Gen.06 – 75 – Open horizontal support profile
- ALPHATON Gen.06 – rapid
The ALPHATON terracotta facade Gen.06 – rapid is patent-pending system is fitted with stainless steel tongue which is inserted into a special groove produced on the reverse side of of the tile panel After installation of the horizontal aluminum profiles support of the sub structure with all tile holders, the terracotta tiles are fitted completely with out tools, and permit fixing the tiles with requested order. - ALPHATON L²
ALPHATON L² Vertical profile had been studied and created as a response to give answer the increasing trend to use longer covering tiles in curtain wall, back-ventilated tile facades.The Vertical L² substructure system consists of component L² support profile, L² tile holder, L² tile holder, L² rivet and joint profile.The highlights of the L² substructure system are the diagonally running slots on both sides of the vertical L² support profile and the L² tile holders. The L² tile holders can be fixed through these slots with out pre-drilling by means of rivet on the L² support profile, as the fixing operation is by mechanical stitching of nits through the slots, which press the holder to tile support profile. - ALPHATON L² – rapid
The rapid tile holders are fitted with a stainless steel tongue which is inserted into ALPHATON groove in the back side of the tile made purposely during the extrusion process. After assembling the Horizontal support profile all tile holders for the facade are assembled by clipping in profile support in using a screwdriver. Once substructure is fully assembled with all tile holders, the terracotta / klinker tiles are fitted completely with out tools.
The rapid holder not only prevents any possibility of taking off unintentionally tile out of facade but also give the freedom possibility to assemble tiles in what order needed during the construction work.
ALPHATON Aluminum Joint profiles are located in the vertical joints to prevent tiles from rattling in the wind, moving side ways and driving rain from penetration, as well as giving guarantee for assembling the facade in exact joint pattern.
The joint profiles are for joint width of 8 mm or alternatively 4 mm for horizontal facade and 12 mm for vertical facade.
Joint profiles are available for center joints and end joints to mach all color tiles.
