… it’s the new
excellent quality of
“TONALITY®”.
CREATON is renowned for its demands of quality. A demand
taken on every day used to improve and strengthen our
products. The result is fired clay tiles that – parallel to our
knowledge – are continuously developed and improved.
Starting from the roof, continuing over the façade, down to
the floor. Each new CREATON product is the result of more
than 100 years of experience and commitment in the area
of ceramics. Thus, imaginative combinations of personal
choices of colours combined with superior quality advanta-
ges are emerging time and time again.
In its efforts to achieve quality, CREATON has attained a
high level of excellence. With “TONALITY” we have develo-
ped our cladding range in a unique and so far unpreceden-
ted variety of colours. “TONALITY”-“CLASSIC” blazes new
trails in the unlimited possibilities of cladding design. Dye
penetrated fired clay tiles of the finest colours inspire in a
well thought out system. The user-friendly installation, the
extremely variable design of joints and the sensitive and
subtle selection of surfaces round off the ceramic cladding
system for new buildings and renovations – for outstanding
possibilities of creative design throughout Europe.
Now with “TONALITY”-“CLASSIC” and “TONALITY”-“COLOR”,
two façade programmes are offered. Together, they open a
new arena of choices: in the selection of colours and surro-
undings, in the diversification of installation and applicati-
on, in quality and economic viability.
When creative
cladding design is
soaring to the sky…

Naturally beautiful variety.
This program offers many various possibilities of combi-
ning the available color shades and surfaces. The natural
colors harmonize well with the high-grade surfaces that
give each façade a fine and luxurious appearance.
Fascinating in and out: The CREATON – “KERALIS”-
Procedure.
With “TONALITY”-“CLASSIC”, CREATON again achieved a
breakthrough in quality advancement which could only
be realized with the new and most modern European pro-
duction lines. The superior processing of our high-quali-
ty “KERALIS”-raw materials as well as the “HIGH BAKING
FACTOR” are the guarantors of this new calibre of quali-
ty. Our cladding tiles obtain a fascinating coloring and
appearance in and out. Double-dried clay is processed to
finest powdered clay, completely dyed in finely gradua-
ted ratios of color mixtures and
subsequently burnt at tempe-
ratures exceeding 1,200°C.
For an overall quality of
each and every clad-
ding tile – in the tru-
sted CREATON roo-
fing quality.

Graffiti protection the way it is supposed to be: Efficient,
lasting and immediately effective, as it is already included
in the CREATON “KERALIS”-baking procedure:
● The “KERALIS”-procedure allows for a fine finishing of
surfaces.
● The “HIGH BAKING FACTOR” is the result of baking tem-
peratures of approx 1,200 °C.
● The graffiti protection will last the entire serviceable life
● The protective effect exists as of the first day, i.e. also
during the building phase. The brightening up or rene-
wal of the protection necessary for conventional
systems is not required.
● CREATON will provide you with a solvent-free cleaning
agent not harmful to the environment for the removing
of graffiti coats.
● “TONALITY” graffiti protection is more effective and
economical.
● “TONALITY” graffiti protection costs approx. 11,-# per m2.
With conventional systems, a graffiti protection must be
applied later on and will cost 12 to 15,-# per m2. This
protection consists of a waxlike coat that has a detri-
mental effect on the gloss of the tile and often leads to
the occurrence of specking. In addition, this coat will
lose its effect after approx. 3 years depending on the
weather conditions it is exposed to and must be applied
again. Moreover, this coat must be renewed after every
removal of graffiti, too.
Integrated Graffiti-Protection
The “Graffiti Protection Factor” is invisibly
burnt into the tile an constitutes an additional
already included finishing.

Miles ahead of others.
In architecture, making the ideal a reality ranks among
the highest goals. Lines, overall impression as well as
details must come together to achieve perfection. It is
thus not surprising that in construction design, the large
scope and variety of design possibilities have so much
importance and high regard attached to them. This is par-
ticularly applicable to the sensational formats of the new
ceramic façade components of CREATON’s “TONALITY”
product range: With a width of up to 120 cm, it is miles
ahead of previously existing solutions. It is thus an open
secret that “TONALITY” will allow for the ideal translation
of your ideas into action. Allow yourself to be inspired
and excited by the new possibilities of cladding design,
too.
Large variety
With a length of up to 1,200 mm,
“TONALITY” is miles ahead of
previous solutions.
“TONALITY®” –
the new dimension in
format and color.
Optimal design in practice.
With its variable grid sizes, “TONALITY”-“CLASSIC” is best
suited for all building projects. This flexibility proves to be
an outstanding feature of the simple integration of the
functional elements into the carcasses of buildings to be
renovated. “TONALITY” allows for the realization of homo-
geneous solutions even for all kinds of structural ope-
nings, borderings and edges without any effort.

The color game.
Especially deserving of mentioning is the color design of
the joints of this system. Aluminum joints in powder-coa-
ted RAL-colors can be matched with the colors of your
cladding tiles or be set in contrast with the tiles at any
time. Whether open, closed, colored or semimachined –
the metal joint profile of CREATON always constitutes a
luxurious and flexible solution that responds to your
building or renovation projects individually.
Latest manufacturing technologies make it possible:
Adaptive system.
The bearing profile with variable depth allows for an opti-
mal adjustment to the structural requirements. Even tiles
of different length can be combined on one bearing pro-
file. Joint widths of 2 -30 mm, open or closed joints, reset
or flush executions and various through ventilations can
be realized.

Our desires to reach perfect solutions go beyond the tile
body. Even in the field of sub-constructions, “TONALITY”
offers many different variations. Have you decided in
favor of an aluminum sub-construction, with open or clo-
sed joints, natural or even color-coated or anodized? The
flexible sub-construction always allows for a joint design
that can be adjusted to the overall appearance or even
for subtle nuances according to your wishes. In respect
of format as well as color design.

Convincing arguments.
A minimal construction height can be realized starting from
a construction height of 26 mm. As this is a perfect advan-
tage in the renovation of façades, it will help you reduce the
depth and thus avoids costly connections and reveals. The
installation works on site are reduced as well: Joint and bea-
ring profile are tightly connected to each other already by
the manufacturer. This guarantees a faster installation and
is thus time and cost saving.
The RIVCLINCH connection and jointing technique used in
this context has been proving its worth in aircraft and
vehicle construction for some time now as a high-tech
connection of bearing and joint profiles. It stands for hig-
hest safety and durability, offering clear advantages com-
pared with the conventional connections:
● Higher resistance than with conventional techniques
● Premachining and finishing are not required
● The damaging of the surface of coated materials is
herewith avoided.

Beauty must not
be expensive.
Economic viability at
the power of four – to make
creative building design pay
for everybody!
“TONALITY®” –
creative economic
viability.
1. Investment
“TONALITY” will offer you all the benefits of a high quality
ceramic façade combined with unbeatable value for
money. Series production in the most European produc-
tion lines allows for unprecedented quality and acquisiti-
on costs.
2. Building preparation
The highest possible degree of off-site prefabrication –
away from the building site – will provide optimal prepa-
ration. With the “TONALITY” system, the schedule will be
absolutely flexible. Installation will not be affected by
weather conditions at any time.
3. Installation
Time is money and “TONALITY” installation is quick. Due
to it’s sophisticated construction – and thus only few
anchorage points – the work involved for the positioning
and drilling of the boreholes is reduced considerably. Tile
bodies are inserted without any additional retaining
clamps. Insert them and there you are!
4. Maintenance
If you decide in favour of “TONALITY” you eliminate
undesired maintenance costs from your future planning.
As the high-quality CREATON façade requires low mainte-
nance and is dirt-repellent. Even repairs or the entire
redesign are a simple matter. Each cladding tile can be
individually exchanged by non-destructive means.
The locating pin of the
frames will be concealed
through the simple inser-
tion of the ceramic tiles
and can be used again if
and when the need arises.
The convex shaped cladding tile allows
a perfect creative design managing even curves.
“TONALITY®” –
creative construction.
The excitement
is in the detail.
An all round system.
We have attached much importance to the perfect interplay
of installation and appearance of the “TONALITY” cladding
system. For if the branded products of CREATON are inten-
ded to transform European building tradition into contem-
porary solutions, our partners must be given latitude for
play regarding every detail. This is the objective of our
new all encompassing system.
Exchange in a blink of an eye.
Each individual tile body can easily and quickly be exchan-
ged. This is allowed for by the simple hanging and unhan-
ging of the system. This considerable advantage compared
to clamped systems prevents the continuous building
deterioration caused by damaged façades. “TONALITY”
equates to farsighted value preservation.
Tile locking system.
With “TONALITY” the quick exchange is additionally
accompanied by a secure protection against dismantling.
This simple protection against dismantling is optionally
available at any time.Simple drilling assures high flexibi-
lity and quick installation.

“TONALITY®” –
creative sun and sight
protection.
Modern Architecture
with Baguette and
Lamella tiles.
This is a must.
Truly creative cladding design also offers the possibility to
integrate sun and sight protection into the building design
from the beginning. The “TONALITY”-Baguette tile is the
ideal perfection of the “CLASSIC” cladding tile. It matches
well with the burnt-clay façade and additionally allows for
an appealing architecture even as a harmonious element of
design in combinations with metal, ceramic, glass and pla-
stered façades.
Indoors or outdoors, horizontally or vertically.
The prefabricated elements are available in two standard
sizes and can quickly be installed on the building site.
Whether on the external walls of downtown buildings –
within the protection of historic monuments, for instance
– or used as dividers in the course of the completion of
interiors, Baguette tiles of CREATON excite due to the
popular and aesthetic “TONALITY”-appeal. In the event of
large-scale building projects, we would be pleased to also
offer you the tiles in special formats. It is entirely up to
your creativity, whether you arrange the CREATON
Baguettes vertically or horizontally, lengthwise or crosswi-
se. Even the steel or aluminum sub-construction offers
much room for design – in the choice of colors, shades of
black or the metallic appearance. CREATON lamella and
Baguette tiles are also available ready-made in lengths of
up to 1,800 mm in individual segments.

Long-lasting color retention without additional
treatment.
The finest processing of our raw materials secures the
extremely dense structure of the entire tile body, with a
high level of waterproofing being the result. This reduces
the soiling risk of the façade and prevents additional tile
treatment. Resulting in siliconisation not being necessary.
