Why clinker is better?
Clinker tiles are hard and durable, they absorb very little moisture (the technical characteristics state that the moisture absorption is only 5%). This feature is especially important when there are quite significant temperature fluctuations in our country and the wet season lasts for a long time. Because clinker tiles do not absorb much moisture, they are resistant to cold, heat, do not deform due to temperature changes, do not distort, as this happens with wooden, log or other facades. Another important feature – clinker tiles are resistant to UV rays. They will not fade, and the clinker-tiled facade will remain as it was, without losing color over the years.
Why we stand for clinker tiles?
Due to the features already listed, ceramic clinker tiles are significantly superior. There are cases when people think, for example, that a plastered facade is cheaper. However, although the price of clinker tiles match with their quality, the plastered facade does not offer superior durability or easier maintenance. After a few years, such a facade begins to change, cracks appear due to weather conditions, humidity and mechanical damage, it begins to crumble and the color fading is obvious. The clinker facade will look the same after a decade. If you want, you can wash only the dust off of it.
