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.
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.
The challenges of our time are forcing us to rethink our approach. By systematically looking for a better solution, endeavouring to identify and utilise potential improvements, and with a clear focus on what matters, we have made our ceramic tiles lighter by several millimetres. In new builds, conversions or renovations: the 2022/23 series innovations from Agrob Buchtal now sit just 6 mm proud of the wall and floor. This makes it easier to change and design flexible floor plans with tiles on tiles, without impairing the visual appearance of the space. Practical: The overall height of the tile also remains ideal for butting up to existing elements, such as door frames, windows or other floor coverings. A win for private as well as professional renovation professionals.
