Article - Less is more - let’s cut down to the bare...

Many of the things that need space, resources and energy have disappeared with digital change. Climate change demands much more. Let’s cut down to the bare essentials: the 6 mm tile generation leaves behind an extremely minimal carbon footprint without losing strength and precision. The right thing for uncompromising sustainable building.

6 mm is a success story for our carbon footprint

Fewer resources: Due to the reduced material thickness, the same formats and surfaces can be produced with a reduced raw material requirement.

Less energy: The thinner tile thickness reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions during firing. Lower fuel consumption: As there is less material and lower weight for the delivery of the raw materials and transport of the tiles, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions can be optimised.

Less space: Thanks to their slimmer dimensions, more square metres of tiles fit on a pallet, so that storage space can be used more efficiently.

Less waste:Thinner tiles, less volume – existing packaging units hold more square metres of tiles, reducing packaging material and waste.

Outstanding: success

The challenges of our time are forcing us to rethink our approach. Through a relentless search for better solutions, a commitment to identifying and harnessing potential for optimisation, and a clear focus on the essentials, we at Agrob Buchtal have made our ceramic tiles lighter with meticulous attention to detail. Whether for new builds, conversions or renovations: Agrob Buchtal’s latest range now extends 6 mm beyond walls and floors wherever possible. This makes change possible and simplifies the creation of flexible floor plans with tile-on-tile installation, without visually reducing the sense of space. Practical: the installation height also remains ideal for integration with existing elements such as door frames, windows or other floor coverings. A real benefit for both private homeowners and professional renovation specialists.
