AGROB BUCHTAL's KeraTwin® system brings ceramic cladding into a new era of design freedom and technical precision. Designed as back-ventilated curtain walls, KeraTwin® panels slide effortlessly into specially designed support rails to create facades that appear to float against the building structure. With SpectraView's wide range of colors - from muted earth tones to vibrant accent shades - and finishes that mimic natural stone, wood and even sleek, high-gloss metallic surfaces, architects can explore virtually any aesthetic without sacrificing durability. Installed horizontally or vertically, KeraTwin® adapts to irregular substrates and extreme weather conditions, offering colorfast, UV-resistant surfaces that meet stringent fire safety standards. The German-designed fastening system includes discreet pressure springs and stainless steel profiles that eliminate noise and ensure longevity, making it suitable for high-rise office buildings, contemporary urban apartments and historic renovations that require both innovation and respect for context.
KeraShape® takes ceramics beyond flat planes into sculptural facades that capture light, shadow and movement. Transforming classic tiles into three-dimensional baguettes, pipes and lamellar elements, the collection allows facades to become dynamic fields for creativity. Each profile, whether slender and rectangular or gently rounded, is handcrafted in the full spectrum of AGROB BUCHTAL glazes - from the velvety matte of the Natura series to the luminous sheen of high-gloss finishes - while unglazed variants give a tactile look reminiscent of raw stone. Designed for sun screens, privacy walls or striking accents in building corners, KeraShape® components blend seamlessly and their modular fixtures dissolve into the overall composition. The result is a built surface that not only protects and insulates, but also engages passersby, creating memorable landmarks through depth, texture and rhythmic repetition.
For projects where weight and speed of installation are paramount, KerAion® panels offer an elegant compromise between strength and lightness. At just eight millimeters thick and weighing about eighteen kilograms per square meter, these large-format tiles can span up to 1.2 by 0.6 meters - or can be customized to unique dimensions upon request - significantly reducing the dead load on steel or wood substructures. KerAion® retains all the advantages of traditional ceramics, including exceptional weather resistance, color fastness and non-flammability, while featuring factory-applied safety strips that prevent broken fragments from falling in the unlikely event of an impact. Whether used on the ventilated facades of high-rise buildings or in hygienic interiors such as operating rooms - where specialized OP glazes meet stringent laser safety requirements - KerAion® panels simplify logistics, speed up schedules and maintain the highest performance standards.
With KeraJoin®, AGROB BUCHTAL integrates ceramics directly into insulation panels to create a composite façade system that combines energy efficiency with sophisticated aesthetics. By bonding ceramic tiles to thermally insulating composite panels, KeraJoin® combines cladding and insulation into a single unit, streamlining installation and minimizing thermal bridging. The system supports a full range of SpectraView colors and surface textures - including custom glazes that can be digitally printed or embossed - while optional “Hytect” photocatalytic coatings promote self-cleaning and reduce airborne contaminants. Whether it's revitalizing the facade of a residential building, retrofitting a public building to meet stricter U-value regulations, or giving new construction an environmentally friendly exterior coating, KeraJoin® ensures that each coating not only looks timeless, but also contributes to lower energy consumption and occupant comfort.
When projects require the utmost personalization, KeraYou® puts the AGROB BUCHTAL design laboratory in the hands of the architect. From the first sketches to firing in the kiln, every detail - size, shape, texture, color and relief - can be fine-tuned in direct collaboration with in-house ceramic specialists. Imagine digital images printed on full-size ceramic panels, custom glaze blends that subtly change in different light, or three-dimensional reliefs that weave a story into the built environment. KeraYou® has completed distinctive facades for cultural centers, branded retail environments and custom interiors, always balancing artistic vision with practical requirements such as load-bearing capacity, maintenance access and building code compliance. In this way, each project becomes a one-of-a-kind work of architectural art, reflecting the unique identity of its users and lasting for generations.
Together, these five ceramic families demonstrate AGROB BUCHTAL's commitment to material innovation, ecological stewardship and collaborative design. Whether you're looking for a proven curtain wall system, sculptural surface elements, ultralight large-format panels, integrated insulation assemblies or fully customized ceramics, you'll find a solution that not only meets technical requirements, but also enriches the human experience of architecture.
