Ceramic tiles for the circular economy - how possibility becomes reality

Dry laid tile revolutionizes flooring

Conserve resources, renovate existing buildings, build circularly. With Drytile, sustainability and maximum design freedom are already built in.
Drytile is an easy and quick to install floor tile that can remain in the material cycle for a very long time because it is degradable and recyclable. Just the thing for sustainable building life cycles and architecture that is on the move.

Starting without glue
Drytile is a dry floor tile installation system that requires no adhesive. It is environmentally friendly and works eight times faster than conventional methods. And when it comes to demolition, the tiles can be dismantled without damage.

Clever
Cork layer instead of mortar bed. A thin layer of cork is applied to the back of the ceramic tile. Due to the dead weight of the Drytile tiles, the layer adheres to the substrate and soaks in. Means: no mortar bed, no adhesive, no primer.The fact that the cork protrudes minimally at the tile edge results in a precise joint pattern. A special joint compound ensures stability, high load-bearing capacity and a closed surface. If tiles are to be removed again, the joints are simply cut open and removed with a suction lifter.

Conserve resources, renovate existing buildings, build circular
Drytile - the ceramic tile for dry laying - makes it possible to install a high- quality floor with all the advantages of ceramics. Robust and durable, the adhesive-free tile retains its radiance and colourfulness even after decades.

"To protect the planet and meet climate targets, innovative products are gaining in importance by leaps and bounds. Drytile is an easy and quick to install floor tile that can remain in the material cycle for a very long time. Just the thing to enable the building turnaround, with long building life cycles and architecture that is on the move," says Daniel Schreiner, Managing Director Drytile Ceramics GmbH.
